What is the difference?

I need to order a new MH bulb for my Aqualight Pro. It has 250 watt DE HQI bulbs. When I search for bulbs I find two types of DE bulbs with different ends but no differentiation between the two when ordering. What is the difference and I do I know which is which? Do the different ends correspond to different wattages?[IMG]
