What kind of bulb does it take and is there a replacement I can buy that will be better for plants?

It is a sealed unit. Bulb replacement would require breaking the housing. I would not/did not go that route. I replaced the whole unit. Cheers

It takes a small fluorescent bulb available probably at AMAZON or any GOOD PET STORE. Yes there is a bulb used for growth.

It already comes with a fluorescent bulb that really accents plant life. As far as the type of light, I'm not really positive of the k rating is. I've noticed that it does give a green glow to the plants and aquatic life. As far as replacement bulbs go, Coralife make a wide spectrum of replacement bulbs that may be better suited to your specific applications. I hope this helps.

I've had this lamp for more than a year now and I haven't had to replace the bulb yet, but it's simple to replace. I removed the bulb just to see if it was the same as two I already had. It is a halogen bulb, I bought them from Home Depot, but you can buy them in packs online. The only thing you have to do is remove the glass wax holder and pull the bulb up and it comes right out.

you could use HPS bulb for both veg & flower, but your plants will tend to stretch more during the veg phase. If you could, I would recommend using the mh for veg

Hello, will this light be good for live plants. I see you can add two more led bulbs. Is this true.

I use a 6500K bulb and I find it works well. However, I also rotate my seedlings (flowers, fruits, and vegetables) into the sunlight. It really depends on the light color, the reflector, and the output.

look for 36-watt UV bulb with a 2g -11 base just put that into the amazon search bar and the re-sellers of replacement bulbs come up. I tried to get a spare from Air-care corp. Unfortunately they were non responsive.

You can buy them from multiple suppliers on amazon. Mine only lasted 2 years and I had to replace the unit after ordering new bulbs and finding out it wasn't the bulb.

I couldn't get a replacement bulb for mine either. The light is guaranteed by the manufacturer for a year (guarantee on the Daylight website). I sent mine back to the vendor for refund.

The stock light is very poor for live plants, but you can buy a rather inexpensive replacement. Its the Finnex Fugeray Planted+ Cliplight. I bought it for around $40 and my plants (anubias, java fern, peacock moss, brazilian pennywort) are growing great1

I know the bulb on my grinder gave out in just two days. Did you look on their web site for the type of bulb or maybe where to get it from?

The bulb is 2 feet and is a standard 25 watt that can be bought at Lowes or Home Depot. I found out it is not a grow lamp.

I use 60 watt bulbs. Should last for at least a year or longer. Bulbs can be replaced. Product works.

I wouldnt use the included bulb for anything but plants. I had read mixed reviews about using the bulb for animals and decided to try it out with my jacksons chameleon. Ended up causing temporary damage to my chams eyes and required a vet visit. I took the advice of other reviewers and replaced the bulb with a ReptiSun and all is well. Been using the fixture with replaced bulb for a year now with no issues.
