Currently the bulb only comes In a 250w mogul base lamp with dual 20k arc tubes or with a 20k and a 10k arc tube. The dual 20k arc tube lamp should result Im greatly increased lamp life and the dual color twin arc lamp will allow the reefer to have 10k light for growth and 20k light for color in the same bulb. What can we say, friggin awesome! More details forthcoming.
