I still have the 10k bulbs that came with it, and 2 zoo med plant bulbs. I've heard that you should replace them every 6 months, and recently noticed that one of my bulbs is getting quite dim. I'm going to personally replace two at a time when they start to go out.

Its been a year and we are still using the bulbs that came with it. I would take a bulb out and take it to Wal-Mart, Lowes etc.. and compare sizes.

I live in Minnesota, I had installed the l.e.d bulbs and about a week later I think the cold weather affected them. I returned them for credit back to my account. hopefully this helps you.

I know it is late but maybe will help someone else. If you just plan on germination and a short stay under light may want to go with a 4 bulb T8 will use only about 60% of the power. If you plan on them being under them much longer then a couple weeks then you need the extra light. I personally use 6 bulb T8 for germination over a 2' x 4' tray (4 1020s) which is about 24w per sq ft. Then for growth, which is any point past a month, 8 bulb T5 for 55w per sq ft. Keep the lights close to prevent stretch.

You need to check your existing bulbs. If they are H11's you should be good to go

I have had various results with my 8 gardens. Most of them last over a year but I have had to replace more often in my Aerogarden 6 for some reason. A few times a year they have deals on lights so you can stock up. Otherwise they have an LED option now that should last many years. I have 2 of those and they work great.

The best replacement would be an LED in the 4000k range (daylight). The original bulbs are to hot and burn out fast.

This is a good question. I haven't been confronted with the need for new bulbs yet, but know the problem will occur. My guess is to check with big outfits such as Lowes or Home Depot because they have access to a large number of suppliers. Another possibility is to check with some of the bigger NYC photo shops. Sorry I can't be of more help.

One in addition to the 4 T5s would be plenty. I have mine on a 55 and I've been thinking of getting another. It's definitely a very bright light ,but I've seen a fair amount of stretching in some of my plants. For a 90 I'd definitely want two.

Hello I'm using an older model installed around the 90s.I bought these new bulbs thinking that there wouldn't be a problem, turns out I was wrong.Sorry I can't help you though

Yeah, I have 3 in bloom right now. I just got a dome light (bought at a pet store meant for reptiles) and make sure they aren't too close to the leaves, but they're a lot cooler than the "basking bulbs" you'll find at the pet store too.

The title & description says "Daylight" & "Full Spectrum" in other words 5500K. A full spectrum is great for both grow & Bloom. Personally own the 6500k & 2700k with the official Hydro Farm Hood & I like it!

the T5 Evvirogro model by Hydrofarm is not the units to go for because of there poor manufacturing and design.The bulbs will not fire up in some units. poor packaging may also result in broken bulbs, another problem. For a better fixture, go to the Hydrofarm Designer Series, or another Manufacturer. Do not buy any T5 Envirogro units.

Hydroponics stores, nurseries, and places like home depot, do it center, etc....make sure you get the RIGHT ONES.....the T5 HIGH OUTPUT because they make weaker bulbs that will fit it....and make sure it's in the same "K" bandwidth as your old bulbs.
