Default need help with lighting

hi all,
does anyone know where can i buy a 2-13watts power compact hood or retrofit? i have a 4gal cube, which i am going to set up as a nano reef.

the only mini power compact i am able to find is the coralife aqualight (2-9watts)...does anybody has that and if so, is it any good?

thanx

thanx for the replies. i am not going to set up the tank until the weather is cooler so i still have time to keep looking around. if i still can't find one, then i'll just have to settle for the 2-9watts (coralife).

Default J&L's or Pauls aquarium

J&L's carries them I'm pretty sure but if you want really bright lighting go for T5's. Pauls aquarium in delta carries them and you can even get them customized for whatever size tank you have (I ordered one from him for a 10 gal tank which included 4 T5 tubes and its oo wee brigh!) Cost me $65 though

me again . . . just to add on my recent post . . . the T5 tubes are 8 watts x 4 and emmits little or no heat at all.
