I'm wanting to buy a refugium light in the near future and have been looking at 6500k LED flood lights on eBay. They have plenty of different wattage options, but I'm wondering what wattage is best suited to my set up?
I'm not at home for a few days, so these measurements are rough, but my fuge is an external fuge that's roughly 2 foot long, 1-1.5 foot front to back and about a foot deep.
I'm wanting several different types of macros (haven't decided what exactly yet though) and this will be a look down display fuge with a fish or two.
I'm considering the 20W or 30W lights, but will either be suitable? Other options are 10W, 50W, 70W (If memory serves me right) and 100W.
 
Thanks guys :)
Mfinn, does the box say it's 15W? It's a bit hard to read on my phone.
