I'm using a Phillips LED 100w equivalent bulb that has worked fine. Its rated as "daylight" so its probably around 6500K. I haven't found one with lower Kelvin that is equivalent to 100w. I only have one side of the ATS lit up, I don't have room to add another light.

I should probably order one of those Par38 LED bulbs with red and blues.



Thats cool man, I bought a cheap $8 Cree light bulb at Home Depot its been working great for my mangroves and cheato. That bulb is working for u so just use that
