Are u refering to those hang at the back type? I bought that once before and it doesnt last long. Cannot kept it switched on for a long time. What happened to mine was that the wires and the switch melted, :cry: guess its too hot

I have the same problem last time with some brands.. most of the time it is the ballast giving the problem. If you insisted on buying then do consider the OceanFree brand clip on type. So far no problem for me. :)

Cool.... :peace: Thank you for sharing....

I was thinking of doing that also... first come to my mine was the study lamp by IKEA.. think it's around $5 or so.. then add a PL bulb total will be around $10 onli (adjustable some more...but might rust later :nc: ) This will remains an option at moment, as I think a 1 feet hang on PL will look neater :rolleyes:

Btw bro are you using Philips Cold Daylight PL bulb? I read a post here saying this bulb is suitable for used in the refugium.

Opps.. this thread is more like a DIY thread liao.... will I get tick tok from AT :fear:
