I have a aqualight pro fixture that has 150 watt halides/actinics/led moonlights. Are all the 10k metal halide bulbs the same? Do I have to replace it with coralife bulbs or can I go with the Current/Fusio/Hamilton brand? There are no reviews on either one except the coralife one.

PS- I know how everyone feels about coralife too

Thank you,

James

All metal halide lamps are interchangeable as long as the wattage and base match. Unless Coralife has some proprietary Double ended base that I am unaware of, you shouldbe able to use any 150W DE lamp. FYI, the ballast they use in the fixture will affect how individual brand lamps burn color wise.

I thought so but wasn't really sure. Thank you
