Fuge Light?

[jamesbump78063]

Anyone know of a cheap small fuge light?

I bought an incandescent 70w bulb from Lowes with a clamp on reflector all for $8.

Do you have a problem with heat from a bulb like that?

In the process of setting my tank up but have seen others with similar set-ups. Don't know if too much heat would come off a 70w about 6" off from my fuge are though.

How big is the fuge, where is it located, how much room above it?

I use a L.E.D. Puck light from Home Depot! Its inexpensive and worke great! Low heat and energy consumption. Its like $15

For looking good, consider one of the small power compaq fixtures. 18w possibly

you could always use the JBJ LED....its a little pricey but looks slick.

I've used the CF floods from HD, and a cheap clip on reflector. I think it's a 6500k bulb, but I'm not sure.

Not pretty, but I have tried many, many types of fixtures for fuges. Nothing beat MH for growth. T-5's with reflectors would be next, followed by PC's

This PC works very well but is not pretty.

65k work best. Even though lower K work better for plants, I found they dont penetrate the water column as well.

I cant figure out how to post a pic with the new website...I will work on the pic later today.
