Default Switching PC bulbs...

Alright, so I've got the Odessya (or whatever) MH/PC light unit over my 90 and am not too happy with how blue the PCs are. I'd like to change them out, but the only bulbs made by the brand name are either Actinic or white.

Would it be possible to use, lets say, Coralife bulbs in the unit, so long as the pegs are the same? I want to go with one bulb that is Super blue and then one that is white or possibly a 50/50 and I like the blue that comes with the coralife units.

Thanks in advance,

As long as the base and wattage of the replacement bulb are the same as what's currently in the unit, you are fine.

50/50s are nice
