Fuge Light Recommendation help please

Just got a new fuge and its light isn't working. I got a good deal, so I'm not upset. but I need a new one. It might just be the bulb, but before I invest in a PC bulb that may or may not work, I thought I'd ask what you fine people are using on your grow tanks?

Also, what's the deal with bright white (midday) light vs these red/blue grow lights?

FWIW: my grow area is about 12" long and 4" wide... and 8" tall, if I was recommended to run some grow light LED tape down the sides of it.

Thanks!

If you want the fuge to work the get a good light don't save a few bucks and get a light that wont work.
I have the par 38 grow light on my cheato and it has almsot doubled in a and if you have the extra money get an even better one.

yeah I used a more expensive light, and found the simple par 38 bulb from lowes works just fine.
