ADA 60p lighting (HYPOTHETICAL)

[NoahLikesFish]

what would i use to light an ada 60p if i got one? i want stuff that looks cool but is cheap. idk what coral i wanna do yet so preferabbly something that has a wide spectrum, was thinking viparspectra and making a nice plywood case for it

IMO the most expensive piece of hardware should be your lighting. IF your going to put money into something, let it be a light. I would look around and try and find a used set of lights or something that fits your budget.

You don’t want to overheat the viper-spectra so.. careful about the case. You can burn the leds out.

Nicerew 50w is another fixture in that price range. The puck style one.

Plenty of affordable lighting options. The viparspectra will work fine i think biggest issue is making sure you get it high enough to spread the 24" without having lots of overflow light. The box around it should be fine, but as @Tamberav mentioned be careful of heat. Give plenty of room around sides and preferably an open top
