Waterproof LEDs from flea bay seem a good option not 100% on spectrum needed for chaeto growth can check for you.

Spectrum needs about 6600 so normal whites are fine I will PM you a link I found might be better for you

i wouldnt light your skimmer...you may get problem algae growing where you dont want it and lose some performance. A few people wrap theirs in black plastic so as no light goes near their skimmer
