Refugium lighting

[BitFix]

On my 10 gallon sump I will have a refugium area with chaetomorpha (8'x11'x11'). Unfortunately I don't live in the US, so I don't have acess to amazon or Ebay. Does osmeone know a good Diy-ish light for a refugium, like a floodlight or some light bulb voltage/spectrum good for growing chaeto?

Floodlight clamplight and something like one of these work pretty good.

If you're willing to spend the money kessil has a cheap light that I found works well for a refugium.

Brs talks about the different lights for a refug. I use a 19w led bulb. Cost me $7 and it’s water proof so don’t have to worry about anything if it gets wet. Got it from the Home Depot

Here’s a pic from the video

The flood light clip on and any 6500K CFL bulb is the best way to go

I agree a simple fixture with a 8w -14w Daylight LED would work well.
