Best 'Home Depot Light' for refugium?

[OCDreefer]

I got one of those clip on work lamps at home depot and was wondering what the best bulb to use for it would be from peoples experience.

the DAYLIGHT (blue box) 13 watter (actually like 80 watts or some thing but only use likw 13 watts or so.)
Make sure you get the one that has the spot light type glass around it for easy cleaning

Thats the one! If you cannot find that exact brand what you are looking for is something with a 6500K color temp which works great for growing macro algea

I use the 23W flood lights from Costco to grow my anemones and macro algae.

I had two of the HD clip ons for my refugium. They worked out great and never did rust on me (aluminum?).

can you use these lights for say a frag tank? or an anemone?

I wouldn't use it for a frag tank..

what about for an anemone

I grow RBTA's quite well under the 23W flood lights(currently have around 40), you can see a pic of my setup at the link below. Stable tank parameters are probably more important than lighting.

can you put this bulb in a clip on lamp from lowes or do you need a special fixture?
