Use aquarium safe lights...

When it comes to the electrical I don't chance it. I just spend what I have to spend. I rewired my entire basement, added additional sockets, just to make sure a fire can't happen.

It can be a memorable experience when a 120V (or 240V) light falls into a fish tank...if you survive.

I have heard stories from our local fire marshal, who "dislikes" desk lamps being used to light aquariums.

I am trying to move as much as possible to 12 V, 5V , or air power in my (school) fish tanks.

Only aquarium use I used a desk lamp for is hatching live baby brine
