Is this light ok for a small fuge?
I'm using AquaClear70 as a fuge with chaeto for my nano tank. Would this light be adequate?

It might be ok depending on what you are trying to keep as far as macro is concerned. You can also buy a clip on style light and go with a screw in compact bulb for less.

At just 2w I think it'd be too small

I'd also be pretty suspect of that light keeping macros.
Screw in fluorescent would work, but power compact would fit a slimmer profile. Also the nano-glo might fit the bil albiet more expensive. I had a light similar on a fw tank. Algae didn't even grow well. Wasn't the same one, but it did light the tank fairly well.

i think the light is not going to be strong enough and possibly not even the right spectrum needed.

If the light doesn't give a k reading then don't buy it
