What kind of Clamp-on Fixture you use for your Par38 bulb

I just bought a Par38 bulb. I'm looking for a clamp-on fixture for it. Any recommendation? Link and places to buy would greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I used this for my tank. It's a little expensive, but works and looks great!

That's quite nice. Thanks for posting it.
Is the arm rigid or can you bend it to change the height and length it extends over the tank? How high is your bulb over the tank?
TIA,
Ben

no issues with saltcreep or water damage or general capillary action where the clamp is partially submerged?

I just use a cheap home depot one for my refugium. If that is what you need it for, then it works great. Just remove the reflector and the bulb screws right in.

What ever you use remove the reflector or you can overheat the bulb and burn it up.
