Underwater refugium lights

[dh350twin]

Hello, anyone using underwater pond lights or anything similar to light there refugium?

What lights are you using and how are they working?

Any help is appreciated.

Most of the lights I have used in my pond do not last very long. Maybe a season at most. They also are fairly weak plastic and have cracked on me a few times.

Probly just stick to a black box led for sump lights. Work great for me.

It probably doesnt work any better, its more about spectrum and intensity, but a lot of folks esp in an all in one use sealed freshwater lights. fwiw green plants do like warm and blue.

Any links to what your talking about?
I'm limited in hanging a light. My cabinet maker and sump maker didn't get together on the dimensions as requested and wound up with a refugium stuffed into the cabinet that has a lid and maybe 2in left

I purchased a 30watt led grow light that is mostly pinkish red and the Chaeto didn't grow
