Looking for a Refugium Light

I'm planning right now for my new tank and I'm heavily leaning towards the Kessil H380 which seems to get great reviews across various forums. In my two current tanks, I've been running some small Amazon purchased lights which are ok, but definitely don't get the crazy growth you see in many fuges.

Edit: Here's a link to the Amazon ones which are low profile for fuges, again, just not crazy growth but definitely no loss either.
 
Ordered a couple of the screw in LED grow lights suggested here. Check out this par!

Are you trying to cook your macro's or just grow them? :eek::eek::eek::eek:
 
I just picked up a 140w draw Apollo grow light from Amazon. Hasn't arrived yet. I was thinking about the Kessil H380, but this was about $200 less, and I'm still looking to pick up a grow out/frag tank, two part containers, and a sink. Not to mention re-working some stands and adding a new one. Right now my fuge is a 20g tall, but I'd like to swap it out for a 40b after I resupport the stand.

I saw this guy on YouTube who was telling that he switched from H380 to H80 because of the hit the h380 is producing
 
Been using the Apollo dedicated grow light since March. No issues, but a lot bigger ball of chaeto in my fuge. Not worried about excess heat. My tank is in the basement where it's plenty cool. Plus my fuge is a separate 20g container from my larger system. If it runs a degree or two higher than the rest, it's not going to have an impact. I run my tank at 76. With the summer temps, it's running about 77.5 in the basement now. The light was a really good deal.
