Would anyone tell me where I can get a replacement bulb for the Archaea 27w? Also does this bulb type come in 6-7000k?

I just checked the bulb wholesalers I deal with. Nothing.

Square pin?

Anyone know if there is a lamp out there that is 6500k that will fit the 27w archaea fixture. I am currently running the 10,000k lamp it came with but looking to swap it out. Not sure if my plants are loving it.
The regular bulb is a straight pin configuration, and AFA sells replacements, the thing is that the original bulb is welded into the fixture. There's no easy way to replace it without pulling the whole thing apart.

Mine is just clipped in. No welding. There are 4 wires that connect via the 4 pins on the bulb.. they just "unplug"
I'd still like to know if there's a replacement option somewhere for these.. Even on AFA website, they don't seem to carry them. (The have one that looks the same, but it looks like it only has 2 pins instead of 4), and it's listed as a replacement for the ADA Solar, not the Archaea.

Anyone found a replacement?
I've always bought mine from aquatouch.com and try to ignore the ridiculous price.
