sealed lights for refugium?

bslindgren · #1 02-08-2011, 07:36 PM

Does anyone have suggestions for a suitable lighting fixture for a refugium that is in an enclosed space? I was hoping to find something that was sealed and thus resistant to corrosion, as the humidity would be fairly high in that space. I am not a DIY person, so something off the shelf would be best.

You can get those clip ons from walmart or Ikea or wherever and just put a daylight bulb in it.

Head down to your local hardware store and check out outdoor lights or lights for a shower. Thats as off the shelf as I can think of. Would require you to make a power cord and wire it up in a water proof box though.

I know you can buy LED lights sealed in plastic. They come in strips - some places have them for sale in pre-cut lengths, and they even come wired up for none DIYers. I'm not sure where I got mine (one of the guys at work bought some for a job we're doing and gave me 12 inches for free) but here's a web site that may help:

I'll see if I can find out where I the ones I got came from. Hope this helps.
