Go to Home Depot and pick up a 100W CF 6500K bulb (Screw in base) and a cheap lamp holder.

Bulb is made by Sylvania (Daylight 6500K) 100Watt replacement uses only 23 watts.

This is one of those screw type bulbs. I have ehard it comes in a flood light package but I have not been able to find it. You can also get tehm at walmart. If I recall I saw them for (2) for $8.00 there. If that is the case, get a plastic floodlight holder from Home Depot and you can use 2 of them. I am no expert but the single bulb I have has been an algae growing machine. More is probably better but that is up to you. My fuge area is about 14X14X10 deep.
