Light bulb

[abagail]

So I got a new light (48" Coralife Aqualight Pro Dual Metal Halide) and its missing both of the long lights and im not sure what exactly to use? anyone have any suggestions? Ive seen people use coralife actinic compact fluorescent 96w bulbs but ive found those aren't exactly easy to find as im pretty sure they may have been discontinued.

check the pin connection first but personally i would see about returning that light for a new one as power compact lights are hard to come by and coralife was never known for making great metal halide products either, something here might work, but as time goes on it will be harder to find replacement bulbs
