Refugium lighting?

[JustinC]

I'm setting up my first refugium and I don't know what kind or size light I need. It's only about 10gallons.

I went to lowes and got one of the fancy led bulbs they carry, was sick of conventionals burning out. It grows my macros like crazy in my 20 fuge. Its a GE i believe, black and silver package.

Just get one of those smaller size clamp lights and a CFL bulb and you'll be good.

+1 with a clamp flood light thingie and a 6k CFL (spiral) bulb, works great and all told shouldn't run more than 15 bucks.

I use one of the sealed cfl bulbs that can be ordered at 6500k. It has worked decently for the macro.

This is interesting boehm742. Is it just a replacement for a standard screw type bulb, or is it a fixture?

Thanks, I didnt know if I needed anything that was special, sounds a lot more simple than I was planning on!

There are par 38 looking led's with screw in bases at Lowe's. I think that's what boehm742 was discussing. very snazzy!

GE 6500K daylight on a desk clamp fixture. 100% of the time, it works every time.
