Sump light suggestions

I've been using one of the HD screw in LED bulbs for mine...7wt total I think. The bulb was around $25-$28 IIRC. The only issue was the intensity....had to mount it at an angle to shine across the surface of the water 'cause it was too bright for the chaeto in a stright top down config. It burned a hole in the middle of the clump.

23 watt compact florescent on a clip mount from home depot about 6 inches above my sump and I pull a good softball size chunk of chaeto out every week
 
do you all leave your sump lights on 24/7 or do you have it on a alternate with your main lighting? Want to use LEDs to reduce as much wattages from the tank as possible. Just not sure which led to get.
