Biocube HQI light replacement help

[Hondanation09]

Looking to replace my stock HQI bulb and trying to figure out the type I need for replacement.


Is it mogul socket style or double ended? No clue here as I have never replaced it this is first time.

Should I go standard coral life 14000k or omega star?

Am I on right track here?

Suggestions?

The hqi should be double ended. I'd get a phoenix 14k bulb, it will give you so much better color and growth than the ones you mentioned.

Wow big Al's prices are insane. You can get those bulbs so much cheaper. But like I said go with a Phoenix 14k

Those prices are nuts! I agree with Phoenix 14k. Absolutely beautiful spectrum. And i believe around $60? Give or take

150W or 250W version?

That biocube uses the 150
