Refugium Lighting Alternative

[OhDumb]

I wanted to share a win I found on Amazon. I have been looking for a nice refugium light to grow macros for pods and nutrient export. The CheatoMax seemed to be the smartest of the bunch focusing on the Blue and Red spectrum. I found that there are lots of LED grow lights for hydroponics and general horticulture. Most of these lights use the Blue and Red LEDs in various arrangements. So, I pulled the trigger on one.

The light I purchased off of off Amazon. There are lots of vendors that sell similar lights. I just got the smallest of these for my nano due to size and price. But there are some large units out there.

Time will tell, but the smallest is pretty bright and runs cool. The housing is metal and glass, water resistant, and rated for outdoor use. Just purchase a timer and you're golden.

Here is the small one top down on my back chamber. I was going to go this route, but the light spill was too much. I ended up putting it on the glass on my center chamber.
