Need a new light for refugium; what cheap options do you use?

[earthboy17]

Wondering what cheap options you have for growing chaeto in a fuge?

I just bought one and the light isn't working. Might just be a bad bulb, but before I invest in a PC bulb, I figured I'd see what you fine people have latched on to?

edit: the grow area of the tank is about 12" long and about 4" wide

Kessil H80 is your cheaper grows light. But any grows led bulbs should work.

I second the H80.
Great compact light that can switch spectrum/intensity/color

submersible one ?

submersible one ?

The cheap option might be a submersible cheap LED strip. A guy mentioned he has a submersible LED grow lights he bought from EBAY. No mounting needed. Want to try on one of my tanks on which I converted the hangon aqua clear filter to a refugium (took all media out and put some macro algae in).
