    Lighting for refuge

    Chad remind me tomorrow when you stop over and I can help you out with the lighting, anything would be fine T5, PC and the home depot clip/flood light, any fixture with a bulb that's 6500K-10,000K will work fine. I just use the bulbs that came with my current USA fixture.
