Biocube Lighting: To change or not to change...

Hello all. I am still pretty new to the hobby so if I am asking something kinda dumb I'm sorry...
Does anyone know the specs for the Biocube32 stock lights? They seem to be strong enough for softies and some LPS corals but I plan on eventually growing SPS's and was wondering if anyone had any recomendations for repacement lighting that is affordable. There are so many kinds of lights to chose from, but ideally for me, I'd prefer some LED lighting that won't make me go bankrupt.

I switched my biocube to the steve's led setup. I am more than happy with and it was worth every penny.

When I had my biocube I switched to RapidLED's aurora puck. I could grow anything under that thing at only 50% intensity.

I just added a Kessil 160. Best move I’ve made in a while. Tank looks completely different
