Correct.

This brings to mind another question

So from what zhiqiang said, the tubes are easily available at LFS/shops?

Cos sometimes its a problem when the tubes get busted and you cant
find any available tubes in the market that is suitable

A main concern of buying a light set is the availability of spare parts

But bro, if the tubes are common like 36W or 55W PL tubes should be quite easy to look for in LFSs, rite? Magnum lights are using these common wattage tubes.

I am not very sure it is a common fit. I did come across someone saying that some brand uses fittings that are not common tube compatible.
