is this light strong enough for any coral would i benefit jus buying a new light of can i change globes to make the light stronger? since this is a 15watt fluorescent light converted to incandescent wattage im pretty sure the light would be at about 60watt? is this enough light for any coral or does it have a to be around the 40watt fluorescent or higher?

Get this light

Incandescent lighting is basically a heat lamp. Not good for growing anything. Once you get the correct lighting then some low light corals are shrooms & fox coral.

for the link but they dont post to australia but i found another light again it very similiar to the one u linked me with.

 

ok so the light has 4x24w t5 tubes 2 white and 2 blue it has 2 switches on it so i gather i can run 2 or 4lights at a time if i wanted to depending on my choice do you think this would be ok for a 10 gallon

As long as they are High Output T5 then they will work for a lot of corals. You could even have SOME types of SPS like Poccillopora with that. I had Poccillopora under 4 T5HO bulbs exactly like the ones you posted and it did great. I eventually upgraded to Metal Halide lighting w/ T5HO supplement.
