I need to get a light for my fuge. I have heard people simply using a regular lightbulb with a cheap reflector from home depot. I was thinking of just using an led bud the same way. Any thoughts?

Yep, just get a cheapo clamp on light from Home Depot and a CFL bulb in a warm temp range and you'll be good to go.
 
i agree you can also use one of the specialty cfl's from your LFS, i used a 50/50 coralife w/ a cheap reflector and it worked great
 
I got a desk lamp and a 5k led regular style light bulb and it grows like crazy. I actually have to clean the coraline more often in the Fuge than my DT.
