what do you mean you wonder about the plug?would it be different from our plugs here in canada? cuz if it is then a simple snip of the wires can fix that.

Based on the way the pic shows the reflection in the interior as one continuous image I think it's safe to say it's one big reflector. Based on what I've read that is a real deal-breaker.

No fans either. MAkes me wonder of the power supply is even UL rated or whatever t is that makes things "safe".

Looks like it's just a single polished reflector, definitely not single parabolic or bent. You'd might as well by buying PC.

Don't waste your money.

Individual shaped reflectors and fans are the make it or break it part of ANY T-5 light. Save up and buy or build a quality fixture
