I use something similar to this. I think mine was only like $20 though. Just cant pull mine up anymore https://www.amazon.com/Swiftrans-Spectrum-Greenhouse-Hydroponic-Growing/dp/B01GFWK69Q/ref=pd_day0_hl_86_4?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01GFWK69Q&pd_rd_r=62860a09-df96-11e8-a318-07eaf7bb505c&pd_rd_w=dDEC5&pd_rd_wg=42fEI&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=ad07871c-e646-4161-82c7-5ed0d4c85b07&pf_rd_r=5KVH9877CVA4R8DW9ST4&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=5KVH9877CVA4R8DW9ST4 |

| Go talk to Jeff at The Fish Tank. He has some really nice fuge lights for around 65 bucks. |

I went to Jeff's at The Fish Tank. I bought the one he recommended. I was nervous to pay the price but I've never been happier with the end result. But, I am more into macro than most. ------------- recent absurdity..Unicorns have rabies |

I've used several LED grow bulbs from Amazon. All have been very red in appearance and all have grown macro extremely well. They have also all been under $20, so I wouldn't recommend buying anything more expensive. ------------- 60g LPS Cube |
