Fluval Flex 15g Light Upgrade

[DigDug]

Good afternoon, everyone!

Any Fluval Flex users here?

I'm currently using a Vivid Mini over my fluval flex 15, and i want to back it down to something less high

Any Recommendations for lights?

Do you want less intensity or a light that’s physically less tall?

I'm guessing intensity.  Do you think a dimmer switch would work? Is it safe?

Thanks for the reply everyone!

With the Fluval Flex + Vivid Mini, its actually blocks Chamber 2 where i cant use the intank chamber 2 insert i recently bought. Im looking for a less intensive light that I can actually go on top of the tank, and so it won't block the chamber insert. 

Excluding the sump extra, the tank size is 11'L X 16'w  X 12'H to Substrate.

Im think of going with a Hygger light, but dont know the size to get. Im guess this one 20 Watt (12 in to 18inch) should be good enough?
