    so i received a nice 4 light plus moon light system from a friend of mine and we both have no idea what kind of bulbs they are he forgot because it has been so long since he has used it. I need to replace the bulbs because it has probably been a year or so since being replaced any help would be awesome!

    Those look to be T5HO bulbs and you should be able to use any T5 bulb on the market.

    LOL I don't believe the OP was tanking about the manufacturer, but you are so right.

    Look at the connection to the fixture. I bet it has plenty of room for whatever prong pattern the bulb has. I am pretty sure I have seen where people are using bulbs like the ATI on that fixture.

    Take your Odyssea bulb into an LFS and compare ends with T5 bulbs. Google Odyssea bulbs to see if you can find replacements if they don't match up.
