Any suggestions for an inexpensive LED fixture for an in-cabinet refugium?

It looks like they have a ton of low power LEDs, is that better than a few high powered ones?

For a few months, then I've found CFL lamps are nowhere near as powerful. Especially if you run 24/7. I used my nitrates as a guide. Since I've gone LED I've never had to replace a bulb.

Mine grows cheato like crazy

It's also growing some mushroom and piece of monti that's in my sump

A daylight bulb is 6500k
The fuge ray is 7000k
Real close
I like it cause I don't have the room for a big lamp
It's nice and small and lays on top of my sump
