u.v light

I bought a u.v light a few years back marked down at a lfs. They said it was new it was just the box was all ripped up and nobody would buy it off the shelf. I have no info on it and I have noticed its been kinda slacking lately so my question is how often does the bulb need replaced?

Mine says coral life but it doesn't look like that one. The part that shows that the light is on is on the bottom I wonder what bulb it takes

You could probably google it if you could get a model number off the UV.

All I can see is it says coral life on the outside do the bulbs have # on them? For some reason I was thinking I already looked a long time ago but ill take it apart and look later. I wonder if all the same size coral life uv lights use the same bulb just a different style. Hmmm Google it is thanks for the responses
