Plants that are O.K. with incandescent lighting?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
hi there, i dont know what kind of hood you have, but i got the cheapy incandescent hood that came with my 10 gal. after much hunting around, and trying different bulbs, we tried the compact florescent bulbs found at walmart. i thought for sure theyd be too big, but what do you know, they fit perfectly. they looked so much larger than the little tube lights that come with the hood, but they fit nicely, and run sooo much cooler than even the little bulbs it came with. its worth a try if your hood takes screw in bulbs, i found mine for 97 cents each.

heres a link for them, just look for the smallest 13 or 15 watt bulbs they carry.
