Looking for a light for my 220

Money is a big factor but i also want a safe light that wont burn the house down. If you had a low budget what would you pick

72'' Aquarium Light 4X 80 T5 HO Reef LED Hood w Lunars Moonlights Moon New | eBay

T5 Reef Lights 72"

I like the first one but you would most likely want better bulbs......I would have to assume the ones included are not good ones.

They are good and there is nothing wrong with the light fixture. However, a good basis on what kind of lighting you need to support a healthy reef is 3 to 4watts per gallon. At 320watts total wattage of lighting from fixture divided by 220 gallon tank size you only have 1.45 watts per gallon. Not sufficient enough to keep many corals alive. Now if it's only going to be a FOWLR tank then your fine. If you want to do a full blown reef buy two.

in the second one the brand of bulbs is KZ the seller sent me more pictures but i would end up replacing them due to not know how old they are.
