Wabi kusa lighting

[oscarlloydjohn]

Can anyone suggest an appropriate light bulb for a small/medium Wabi Kusa? It's about 20cm in diameter.

I was thinking more like a generic light bulb rather than an aquarium/wabi kusa specific one. Could something like a 13w fluorescent work?

Cheers

Here is what I am currently using as I have not yet received the whole set with dimmer but honestly it's working fine so far so I am not even sure I will change the setup.

Ikea Jansjo lamp always a good one. Certainly grows plants.

Do you think it would grow HC and marsilea species?

Yes the Janso from Ikea are good. I have 2 for my wabi's. It only costs a tenner + about £4 del if you can't go to the store.

The Jansjö do give off nice light but they are only rated at 2w.
