I had the Azoo palm light with a timer on one of my 2 gallon tanks, but it quit last night and the bulbs aren't replaceable.
Any suggestions on a smaller CF light (the one I had was 7 watts) that would work well? At present the tank only has some petite nana and lace J. fern in it.
I really don't want anything hanging or like a canopy because this little tank sits on the counter by the coffee pot and I don't want to distract from the nice clean look it has now.

Thanks for any ideas.

I think Red Sea (which manufactures many of the AZOO palm products under their name) makes another version of their palm light called "dragonfly" or something. Yes, here we go:

It's the same wattage, but the fixture is just slightly bigger, and you can replace the bulb. I also didn't realize when I purchased the palm light that the bulb couldn't be replaced. I was bummed when it burned out.

Thanks Naomi, that's perfect!

Where did you see that the bulb is replaceable?

Actually, it's cool because if you click on "lighting," there's a special category "Red Sea Deco Art Lighting." Personally, I feel that the "vaselight" is a more attractive fixture, but what good is it if you can't change out the bulb...? Mine only ran for 2-3 months before burning out. Also, the ballast got really hot - made me a little nervous.

Ah, that is perfect then. The replacements are a pretty reasonable price too, so that's an added bonus.

Same thing happened with my palm light - it only lasted a few months, and it was obviously overheating since the plastic parts just got brittle and fell into little shards.

This is great to know, I myself was thinking about getting a small tank and using one of these lights.
