I wouldn't trust that light. Simple flourescents tubes are fine. This system is cheap and easy to use and comes with everything you need, and use a T5 flourescent bulb which is a little better than traditional ones. I have a few of them, have been using them for 3 years, and have yet to need to replace a bulb or anything.
