All the above. Lol.
Some are using freashter planted Lights, some the Home Depot clip ins with 48-56k bulbs, some have gone for the “ pink”grow Lights craze.

I use a Mars-Hydro par38 grow light for around $15. The pink light really messes with my eyes when looking at the refugium, lol, but it really looks cool in the dark room at night! So cool that i still haven't put the doors on my stand yet!

You can purchase full spectrum t5 lights around 5500 - 8000k and get the blue and red peaks you need without the magenta/pink look with great results.
