Default How to light SMALL exo's

As it says really- how do you light your small exoterras?

Have a few 12cubes, and 12x12x18. I have 1 compact hood, but really am not impressed with the light output, and as I house darts / have live plants light is important...

If you DIY, pics would be even better!

I used to keep my 30 cubes in a row and just run longer bulbs over the top of them with reflectors.

Sadly cant do that.
Tanks are randomly scattered where there is room, so need indervidual lights.
