How do you light your sump area?

Tangwich · Apr 21, 2013

What lighting option do you recommend for lighting the inside of the stand? Not the fuge, but when working inside the stand for maintenance etc. pics or links would be nice. thanks.

I just use a clipon led light. Its not much, but it works. If i really need to see well i just run the fuge light.

I run my fuge light on a 18hr light cycle so it's always lit up when I'm doing Maintnence.

My fault. should have given more info. I will not be running a fuge on this tank as i will be running all mechanical filtration in the sump. wont have a fuge so no fuge light. was wondering if anyone has led lights down there or other types of lighting that is bright enough for night time easy maintenance.

I use one of those curly Q cfl bulbs. I have it on a flush lamp type socket with plug directly into my DJ strip. If I want it brighter I can change the wattage but it does the yob.
