    I have finally got everything together to start building my sump with a fuge on it.
    I was just kinda curious what everyone used for lighting on them.
    should it be.  regular *standard screw bulb or flourecent?
    Does a fuge light have to be any special temp rating or is a standard grocery store bulb going to cut it.
    The sump will probably be approx 14" x 32" x 18"
    with a fuge section that is probably 18" x 18"

    I think Hung told me all you would need are compact flourescent "daylight" bulbs you can buy at menards.

    Not even necessarily daylight bulbs. Pick up a compact fluorescent, higher wattage is better of course, and a cheap-o clip on reflector and you should be set.

    Best lighting i ever had on a fuge was 4x110 watt overdriven daylight bulbs. That MIGHT have been overkill though /site/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/_default/emoticons/smile.gif

    ^^^ that'd work too! Fixtures tend to rust, though.
