What's a good cheap light for a 'fuge?

[Betta132]

I'm working on a refugium for my 29 biocube. It's gonna be about 16X17" wide and an unknown height tall... Maybe 17ish inches? Fairly deep.
I plan to put a bunch of assorted substrate-ish stuff and some bits of rock in there. It's gonna have a wall in the middle to divide it in half so I can keep either two mean crabs or a mean crab and a few shrimp, and it's gonna be full of something like chaeto.
I need a light that can keep the chaeto happy and growing, but it can't be too expensive or bulky. Maybe some sort of simple growlight from Home Depot?

lot of people use the clip on lights from home depot.

+1 on a clip on light. Use a 23w 6700k spiral fluorescent or two depending on how wide the grow out area is. You're looking less than $20 for a single light system.

I use a clip on light from Walmart. Go to their webpage and type in "clip on desk lamp". I have the $12 brushed nickel model and I have used it for about 3 years without a problem.
