Lights for a 10g

Im looking for a new light set up for my 10g. Its a standard 10g tank, It came with a hood with lights and has the screw in bulbs. Is there some good bulbs i could get or should i replace the whole hood to power compacts or leds or etc??? Im eventaully wanting to have to simple corals. Like Zoas, frog spawn, and mushrooms. What could i replace it with?? I have to have a lid because of a pesky cat.

THANKS

even with the hood on, for a cat will be very easy to pulled out, cause' they're very lightweight. And if you're looking for lights that are reef capable you need to keep it at some distance from the water surface or your risk to bleach your corals at hood distances.
