Reefing newb
i was kicking some ideas around and i was wondering if the halogen bulbs used in cars could be used to light a reef?
yes thats whatI think you would need more than just a transformer. Headlights draw a lot of amps. I would look into getting a 12 volt power supply. .
If you could figure.out a way to hook it up, the only thing i would worry about is power and spectrum, but again (and i work on cars) Im sure with the right bulbs it would work. Just be warned though that Halogen has a similar heat output to HQI and plasma gets REALLY hot.
