What might for a refugium

Hi what light would you recommend for a refugium? Does it need blue light etc? Or can it be any light
Thanks

refugiums use more red light with just a couple blues in there. the light that webslinger posted is actually the light I just bought and will receive tomorrow. these are cheap and the goosenecks for them are only like $10-$20

Grows my macro algae well.

You mentioned you were going to have a refugium, but you didn't mention if you were going to stock it with macro's. I'm going to assume you are: Kessil makes horticulture lights that are perfect for refugiums if you have the cash and want accelerated growth. I run a H160 on my 18"x9"x10" fuge but considering adding an additional H80 (because I already have one) or swapping for a H360 as I expand my fuge to a 18x18x15 footprint.

If I ever use a kessil in the fug. just shoot me! Haha
