Refugium Light

[EasytoInk]

Hi guys, I want to buy the refugium light, but i see it kind of expensive, I see it look the same with light at walmart. Can I buy the WALMART bold around 15w to make my refugium light?

What Luis is talking about is a twist-socket LED bulb. I saw some at HD for about $10. Good deal IMO.

I have one of those 10 dollar led bulbs from home depot inside one of those small clamp on reflector thing...it uses 8watts I guess and is supposed to be equivalent to to like a 40-45 watt bulb... I was running it 12 hours a days and saw that my cheato wasn't growing/thriving to its fullest.. I am now running the light 24/7..

I'm going to upgrade to the next bulb which I believe is 75watt equivalent and cost 20 something bucks
Just my 0.02 cents

its worth paying the 50 for the innovative marine fuge light

The thing with those par38 screw in LEDs is you need at least 6 inches between water and bulb as it has a huge spot light effect. The Home Depot ones puts out about 1,500 par in a small area and can kill some macro.
