View Full Version : What bulbs for 6 x 8" screen?
Have a mature screen but thinking my 20w cfl bulbs just aint cutting it. What would you recommend for a heavy stocked/fed tank?
Also anything I can buy on eBay that'll mount the bulbs? My screen runs horizontal in my sump and not a huge amount of space for mounting things.
Cheers

6 X 8 = 48 sq inches = at least 48 real CFL watts total, or 24 led watts total. More is better for dark growth.
Check the bulbs here...

All you need is a clip-on light, or a utility light.
can't find any 48w cfl bulbs? I use clip on bayonet so need the ones that run lengthways if anyone can help
thanks

Ebay is probably best best.
48 total so 24 either side or is that 48w each side?
Thanks

Yes, at least.
Sorry can you confirm 24 or 48w per side?
