Cheap clamp on lamp with class

JWerner2 · Jan 31, 2009

So Im searching around on ebay and all and for some reason I cant find any nice type of clamp lights that look classy enough to hang on my aquarium.

The problem with other lighting options are that I came accustom to using the screw in power saver compacts. They do just as good of a job as PC's and cost a small fraction of the price. I had a retrofit with a incandescent socket in my canopy but I went back to my old 46g Bow and cant use it.

Does anyone have any good ideas for a clean looking dome that I can clamp on or even a light on a stand that I can bend down or something,... anything!? :lol:

I got lots of shop lights for my reptiles and am using one at the moment but its a total eyesore in my living room :roll:

Not sure if that's the kind of thing you are looking for, but that lamp cost about $10 at Target. I am not sure, but I think they also used to have a version with a clamp instead of the base that allows you to put it on a desk. They are available in a variety of colors.

I've also got some ideas how to make a canopy here, but adapting those to a bow front tank might be a little tricky.

Thanks. Im kind of looking for something bigger and something I can fit a average sized bulb in ( I use power saver PC ). If it comes down to it I might get a floor lamp that bends over or something like a stand with a pendant but I hate spending money on these things when I can spend money on fish instead.

Oh thanks for the link on the canopy. They are easy to make but a bow is a pain!
