One last Question, is it OK to replace the white metal with tin foil to reflect more light down to the tank? Plus I just drilled and am debating weather or not to take the plastic housing completely off with a hack saw and cover the light bulb with a tin foil cage so they heat will not build up to much. Will it work? Thanks. John

I would leave then as is. Just me but I cant see going thru so much trouble for a little extra. Plus it would be a bit dangerous to do that IMHO.

If I were you I'd leave them as is.

Where in Wal Mart did you find the lights? I work part time at that S#$T hole and I have not seen them. Do they look like the ones in the pics posted at the beginning of this post??

Well, I went back to the paint and stuff and started walking around till I saw the worklights, whitch I passed like three times because there are not that many... I then FINNALY found them and it came in a box with a cutout in the cardboard showing the bulb and the vover plastic. it is in a blue box about one foot by like 15 inchs and it says fluorex 65 watt 500watt output. Now you need to modify it otherwise half the light will be waisted, I used tinfoil. Remember i may not look all that bright at first, the bulb needs to warm up, and then it can seriously hurt your eyes. John

Would it be possible for someone to post the SKU Number or Model Number found on the box from Home Depot And WalMart??

Thanks In Advance!!!!
