I use an undercabinet type 18" flourescent fixture with a growlight bulb in it on my refugium. I got it at Home Depot in the lighting section for about $20 plus $5 for the growlight bulb. I leave the opaque plastic lens off and it sits right on top of the eggcrate nice and close to the water surface. Seems to make the macroalgae grow just fine.
