Is it the current dual satellite compact florescent fixture?

If it is the dual satellite, it's a power compact (PC). The repalcement bulbs are the square pin, 65 watt, 6700K/10000K and the square pin, 65 watt, 420nm/460nm. That's what I have.
You can get them at DFS, stock# CD-16962 and # CD-16964.

From what I have been told, current-usa also made a satellite that is a t-5 as well. I believe that is what I have.... At least I am hoping that is what I have.

Your light is a T-5 if it is a Current Nova Extreme.

That sounds about right. Do you happen to know if I can upgrade the 65w bulbs to the 90w bulbs to get more total wattage?
