Sorry to hijack.

I am sure your fixture will be ok , however in all-in one fixtures I hear many are catching fire and / or burning their CPU's because of heat accumulation and especially because of poore step down transformer from 220Volts down to 110. This is done by unquolified tech back East, this is not my place to say who or name the names. All i can tell you can find out more by visiting big "pet shop " on north road and talk to manager he will be able to tell you some more.
the step down transformer is not secured properly in the fixture plus overheat problem and CPU's do not like that.
This is a year old info so I am sure somthing might have been changed and design improved,
