lighting options

[Kate Breimayer <kate@munat.com>]

This is what I want to see made into a fish light: cold cathode 
flourescents... If I am reading the advertising right it will be even 
more efficient and cool running than compact flourescent and will be 
marine waterproof too. I emailed the company that listed them on the 
website and they said they are not being offered for aquarium use. These 
are for boats and RV's and people who don't want to be on the electrical 
grid. I guess there are always new and better technologies coming up for 
us to try... just wish they would hurry things along a bit. Right now I 
am playing a lot with coralife compact flourescent fixtures and like 
them. I think MH's would throw our breaker, the house just isn't wired 
for much more than it is already carrying, judging by the frequency with 
which the breaker is popped.

One can always hope that we will someday be able to light a fish room 
without adding 100 bucks to the energy bill, can't we? :)
