I noticed they never listed the wattage of the fixture so I'm assuming this is only a normal output fixture and not a high output fixture. That would really limit your bulb selection to only coralife as I think they are the only manufacturer who produces Normal Output bulbs and fixtures. If this is the case, that would also diminish the output of the fixture significantly as 48" normal output bulbs are 28 watts as opposed to the 54 watt High output bulbs.
