the bulbs in the SWC model are probably the same ones Catalina gives out, blue or white standard. Op - you should consider swapping out those bulbs for some better quality ones though b/c i have not seen them i can not say they are low quality. I am making an assumption based on what others get when they get these "stock company" bulbs.

I really hope SWC takes off in the light industry - it would be good to have a Canadian manufacturer to buy from once in a while
I checked out the Catalina website and they seem to sell some pretty cheap stuff. That Solana fixture got my attention though, 8 x 54 Watt T5 for $300, LED moonlights included. Looks like a nice fixture.
