It's fishneedit brand lol. I've got several of them. It's cheap because its not a big name brand, but it functions exactly the same.

Yes, most fixtures allow you to use any bulbs you want, though there are some that don't. the ones that don't are the ones to avoid. I would replace them with some ATI bulbs if you're housing corals.
