Posted this on RC yesterday evening & realized this morning I never posted it here...

Item: Single 65w powercompact (6500k)
Cost: on sale for $18
Location: your local Home Depot

Went to buy a light for my refugium and learned that Home Depot is having a sale on these... (This is not their normal price...a 27w usually costs $35 there.) I didn't think to ask how long the sale lasts, but my bet would be through Sunday.

It's basically an outdoor flood type light which means self-contained, fairly watertight & built-in reflector.
They had white & bronze. (I went with white.)
Great for mounting over refugiums & with the right canopy, you could probably stick 2-3 under there as well...

Just thought others would like to know! :D

The K rating is low for tanks IMO, but I use one on my refuge. My macro grows out of control! They are wonderful cheap fuge lights.

I have 10K MHs over my tank, but I've frequently heard that corals grow very well under 6500k -- I thought it was just that the color range is more yellowish & not too appealing aesthetically...

But I agree... they're best suited for a fuge.
