T-2 Light Too Good To Be True? Beginner Needs Help!

[H2OGarden]

I'm a beginner at planted tanks. I researched cheap but effective medium to high lighting for a 14" long 5.5g rimless tank. This is what I found for $28: http://www.americanaquariumproducts.com/Aquariumbulb.html The T-2 8 watt fixture near the middle of the page, kinda blended into the writing.

Is this any good, and do you have a way to mount it over a rimless tank? Can it be mounted in a custom wood case that's much more attractive, and if so how?

Thanks,

Terri
