Swapping Bulb Sockets? - Aquarium Advice

bound_for_obx · 01-28-2005, 02:45 PM

The PC fixtures that I have uses the square pin configuration. Are there Coralife bulbs available that would match my sockets? Are there straight pin sockets that could be retrofitted to my lights? Or should I just look for square pin configuration bulbs from another manufacture?
I'm looking for 50/50 65w bulbs.

I would just get some current USA smart paq bulbs. They are 50/50 and square pin. You could retrofit some straight pin sockets in but there really is no need to.The bulbs are my part # LT-CU02035 on my website. They are $26 each.
