Lol, well, I certainly didn't mean to imply that a cheap-ass portable worklight is going to give you all the benefits of a high-zoot top-of-the-line commercial aquarium light. A worklight is not going to allow you to adjust the colour, will not be programmable at all, etc. You need to turn it on and off manually, or with an external timer. If you decide while on vacation in Aruba that you absolutely must use your cellphone to contact your aquarium light and adjust the red balance or create a lightning-storm effect in your tank...you are going to be disappointed...
But it will produce that single-point-source effect of dappled light which is so attractive. I would never use the ridiculous bulky flimsy tripod stands for it, rather bolt it securely to a firmly anchored DIY bracket of some sort. GFCI protection is a must. And you should be careful to purchase only an LED version; there are still numbers of obsolete worklights sold very cheaply that utilize old technology halogen or other caveman light "bulbs". They use a profligate amount of energy, generate more heat than a laser beam and burn out if exposed to harsh language. Total waste of money.
Ha. I just needed something to diffuse the light in that corner. The fish seem to appreciate the cover back there. It also obscures the return plumbing a bit. I'll probably take it out now since I'm terribly sensitive to criticism lol.
