Default Re: Hows this for temporary cheap lighting for a FOWLR?

It'll be fine for fish only tank. However, the light will be a little bit yellowish in color. Halogens also produces more heat so you wouldn't want it too close to the tank.

I ordered some low voltage 12V Ushio Whitestar 50W 6,500K MR-16 halogen lamps for my track lighting. I'm also getting a few portable fixtures so that I can experiment shining the Ushio halogen spotlight directly at some Acroporas to see if they'll change colors.

The bulbs I ordered were these
