Screw it into a clip on desk lamp or such and ur good to go

I tried those curly cue lights for over 6 months in 2 brood cages on 2 sides of my ATS and managed to grow a bunch of slime algae and little else. I'v since yanked it out and trying to find some time to set up this light I got from Nick over some mangroves. It looks awesome!

Use Daylight spectrum CFL bulbs, but also use 6500k LED bulbs bought off DealsXtreme over my sump.
