Cheap Light for a Refugium

[francis]

Can someone help me, I wanted to just get a light for my refugium and I've heard where I could just use a regular lightbulb for it. I want to grow some microalgae. Can I go to Lowe's and just by and regular lightbulb and be okay?
Please if you can tell me if I need a specific kelvin or something for the lightbulb thank you

I use a clamp lamp and a 6500 k swirly bulb from home depot on mine. That's what was recommended to me and it works great
