Nano Planted Light Suggestions

Hi everyone,
I have a planted 16litre nano which I’d like to swap the current LED light out on. More for aesthetics than anything else but it’s a bit fiddly when trying to stick your hand in as it sits over most of the waters surface.
Can anyone suggest a fluorescent bulb or led fixture that has a single bracket and is more of a gooseneck type? I’d really like it to have a dimmer or optional dimmer add on too.
My current plants are fairly undemanding being mostly crypts and ferns. Any suggestions would be brilliant as it’s a massively saturated market and I can see the wood for the trees!

Cheers

Thanks everyone, that kessil looks the absolute nuts.

Thanks Patrick. Is the spectrum tuning dial a very noticeable adjustment of a very subtle colour change?

At the other end of the price scale, there's the Philips Tornado bulbs. Add it to a nice desk lamp and you're all set. I'd look at getting 8w at the least,12w at the most.

To the naked eye it is certainly noticeable, it does not show up on camera though... It’s a nice feature. The best feature is that it’s dimmerable, I can’t believe how much lightning has no dimmer function (particularly high end lights).

Build quality is also second to none

They are the Do! Aqua Violet mini. Inflow = MV-1, outflow = MP-1.

They are nice, perfect size for a nano. Be careful of the glass thickness, I think they fit on 5mm maximum thickness of tank.

One thing to note is there are no suction cups, so you can’t adjust the height at all.
