I am looking for a source for 10 pcs of the small metal cable glands like those on the eBay 10w LED fixtures. I want to make my 10w floods with an 'In' and an 'Out', and would like to have the glands match. Anyone?

I think you are referring to the watertight strain relief correct?
Re: Looking for source for small metal cable glands
lol I thought "strain relief" too but then I Googled "cable gland". They ARE cable glands. Learn sumthin' new ever' day.
A cable gland is a device that allows the user to pass a cable, wire or tube into an enclosure while providing strain relief and sealing out dust, dirt and liquids.

May I suggest taking half of the stock gland nuts to make half the same and use the new gland nuts on the other half.

I have thought about that as an option if I can't find the originals (or real close to it). They have to be available, and dirt cheap since they are used on enclosures that sell for $7.15.
Re: Looking for source for small metal cable glands
This is what your looking for, have used many over the years and the plastic ones are the cheapest, They may have moved off shore like all the rest, I think I got them at ether Platt or Graybar Electric and I don't know how far reaching these suppliers are in the US and CAN. They have about four levels of discounting and what they call End-Book is the MSRP price and getting 10% off that is the norm with up to 20 and 30%. Light fixtures have the highest markup, I used to get can rough-ins in including trims for about $16-17 each and Home-D would sell the same for $30-45. http://www.qne.cc/en/product_show.asp?id=10
