Best Fuge Light at Lowes or HD?

[sturnmeyer]

I've got a small 10g fuge underneath my 30g display. Just curious what lights people have picked up and used easily from Lowes or HD for the fuge?

 

Thanks

there was a link once about the inexpensive lights you can use. The bulb I bought over a year ago was at HD, and it cost around $14 each, then I bought the clamp socket $2 + tax it came out to about $17 and then some. The bulb was a 6500K spot light but can't remember the brand. I suggest you do a little research in WAMAS past forums and posts for the topic Refugium Lights, or go to RC and look for the DIY section, it must be in there. Sorry I son't have the information on hand.

Really you can use just about anything. Most of the "daylight" bulbs you find @ HD/Lowes are around the 6500K which means they'll have plenty of red spectrum for gowing cheato or other macros. Given the 10g I would consider one of the small Regeant/LOA outdoor lamps. The small power compact bulbs will put out plenty of light for a 10g. IIRC they're under $20 with the square housing which afford some water protection.
