Can i use 54w bulbs in this? 28w replacements are impossible to find.

I have wondered the same thing. I have not tried it because I dont want to waste money on bulbs that dont function with this light. Having worked with lighting extensively through out the years i dont think it will work., the ballast probably wont light them and if it does they may not light fully. If any one else tries it please let the rest know. Sorry this wasn't much help

most aquarium shops have t5's I don't know about 54/28's. I get a t5 and a blue one by solarmax I think.

I checked Google, and the instructions were simplified. You are looking for T4 (thats the width of the bulb) and then check the wattage you are replacing- Here it is 16w. The "T" number and wattage is all you need to know. The bulbs with this base are standardized.

I don't use em but I'm sure they would work as long as there 54 watt ho's too.

You can just look for 27W Quad Tube Bulb. I bought mine here and it works great, lasts long, and not that pricey: Triangle Bulbs T50026 - FML27/65K, 27 Watt, 6500K Natural Daylight, 4-pin GX10q-4 Base, FML Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb

Hi Erin, thanks for the question. It's not as hard as it may seem. You just remove the casing and exchange the bulb. This fixture uses T-4 bulbs of a maximum of 100w. We hope this helps! If you have any other questions Erin, please reach out to one of our experts. They know everything, and they're literally sitting right next to their phones right now:) Hansen Wholesale 1-800-201-1193

I tried looking for extra bulbs myself. I called the manufacture and they told me these bulbs are no longer made. So just a heads up, whatever you see on amazon is probably all that's left. Unless you find used ones on eBay or something

Yes at your local electric store. For $5 I replaced the "socket"then inserted LED bulbs. These use 4-6 watts instead of 50 and are equally bright

I have used 50-250 trilight bulbs in a similar lamp with no problem. I do not have a bulb that size at the moment to try in new lamp but I see no reason why you could not use one. I checked my lamp and there is no specifications to the maximum wattage. There is lots of room for air flow and the shade is open. I see no problem at all.

This is a strange question but will try my best answer. Yes you can put 1 of the 4 35W bulb in the socket, but 35W is not bright enough to be useful. If you want extra bulbs I would just go with something like the 105W included in the kit.

As long as the bulbs are not over 35 watts.Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any questions.Sincerely,Briana

the bulbs that are shipped are decent, but you can replace them with any 55w bulb, they are common H3 I think halogen bulb

I wouldnt use the 72 watt bulb. I currently use a 75 watt equivalent LED bulb which is holding up ok and gives a nice white light.

Hi Greg, the 50W 9006 bulbs will be back instock next week. We do have full stock of the 80W 9006 size kits.

Will work but reccomend instead a Cree LED bulb. I have both and feel the LED bulb is much much closer to the incandescent light output and is aesthetically more natural than the flourescent style bulb. Both are energy efficient and extreme long life.Check equivalent output carefully. 18W LED and Flourescent bulbs produce different amounts of equivalent outputs (something like 45 and 60 Watt incancescent equivalent). As bulbs fail I am replacing with either LED or Flourescent prefering the LED for hard to reach and replace areas--- supposedly longer life.
