    You will have no problems with the Odyssea brand bulbs.....of course.
    The brands that worked for me has been the following;
    Current........Aqualine.......thats it. You may want to wait for Mission and all others what bulbs have worked for them. I got tried of dealing with that, so I replaced the stock ballasts with IceCap. Luna

    No.....those are the brands that worked with the stock ballasts. When(if) you changed the ballast out, you can buy any bulb. I will give you a free piece of advice thou, place a 4" fan blowing in the ballasts direction to keep them cool. They tend to get a little hot. Luna
