I assume you could construct one, by buying a wooden hood, fixing the lights to it and then sealing it behind perspex or something, but no, i've never seen them for sale.

Be a smart shopper - if you need the lights for plants buy the proper lighting the first time, saves money later on after you discover you need more lighting to grow plants (not including the numerous plants that will die). If it's just a "light" to show off your fish - then go to ikea and get one of those stylish desk lamps. Simple and easy. [span class="edited"][Edited by guppy01 2004-08-21 08:30][/span]
