Refugium Lighting Suggestions

[Nemesis84]

I have a JBJ Macro Glo adjustable refugium light (15w). I'm having trouble with the bulbs burning out too quickly. Almost one a month. Not sure if the salt spray is part of the problem. It's past warranty and I'm looking for suggestions on what may be a suitable replacement. The refugium is a section of my sump, about 9"L x 10.5W. Chaeto has been growing fine. Thanks, Frank

I use a plain ol' clip on shop light with a 65W bulb from Home Depot. All you should need.

Clip on is what I use with an LED bulb. Uses 13.5 watts and is on 24/7.

The light came from Lowes. UtilTech Pro LED.

Thanks. I don't see that light at Lowes online. I'll keep looking.
