5 gallon bucket cheap cloner DIY

Does anyone use a dedicated light for their bucket cloner? I know clones are usually done with just side light in a veg room, but I may have all my lights on 12/12 when its time to clone. Do you think a single CFL would be ok over a 5 gallon bucket?

Also, does anyone use a humidity dome over their bucket cloner, or have any ideas for one?

BTW, BakedAlaskan, I'm digging that quote in your sig line.
 
Here's how mine turned out:

Would still love to find a humidity dome for this and maybe an opinion on a dedicated light.

Very nice Dante. Can I get the parts list?

Sure jg! Heres what I used:

1x 5 Gallon bucket
1x Lid for 5 gallon bucket
9x 2" Foam inserts (1 for power cord and 8 sites. I think you can easily fit 12 sites, maybe more)
1x 400 GPH Pump
15x EZ Clone Sprayers (15 is probably overkill. you could use as few as 6 i think)
4x 1/2" PVC Elbows
3x 1/2" PVC Tees
1x 1/2" PVC Threaded to slip adapter
3' (approx) of 1/2" PVC

Tools used:
PVC Shears
1 3/4" Hole saw
11/32" Drill Bit
Drill
Tape Measure (if needed, I eyeballed everything for this though)

It was fairly simple to put together. It didn't take me very long at all. The PVC fittings are tight enough that they don't leak, and I didn't glue them so I can easily take it apart for cleaning. In retrospect, I probably should've run the power cord through the bucket instead of the lid, but this is just a personal preference. If you have any other questions, please let me know.
