So i built my own fuge out of a spare 40B. The fuge section. Debating what to light it with.

Looked at the Kessil H380 which would be awesome but I don't think will work well because the tank is a 125 with corner overflows and the far overflow drain pipe runs over the middel of the fuge pretty much out of necesssity. That and it kind of crazy expensive.

So I'm left with either running two lights(one on each side of the offending drain) or running a low profile one under the pipe.

I thought about two h160's but I just can't justify the price.

Another option is two par38 grow lights or two led flood lights(the square ones made to replace halogens).

I was also looking at a growstar https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07312WKX2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1_1_1?smid=A2DFI8RPP7OFTH&psc=1

Also looking at this one; https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F25G5B...&pd_rd_r=07358ca7-d96e-11e8-8ab2-735607aeb124 or something similar.

There are multiple users on here who have used the growstar light with great success. It's the one I always recommend for a cost effective fuge light :)
