Heat from HD yard light for refugium

[dustin]

I was reading another post on refugium lighting and several posted about this 65 watt Home Depot yard light. I was hoping to get an idea of how much heat this fixture puts out. Im trying to do everything I can to minimize my heat, especially in my cabinet.

Thanks for any input on this,
Dustin

I just installed one of these above my sump. I don't think that it produces very much heat at all. I am not at home right now so I can't go lay hands on it to test, but I haven't noticed any temp increase. I don't think it produces any more heat than a standard 60W incandescent bulb.

My light is about 18-24" above the water level in my sump and their is a small opening in the back of my stand to allow air in.
