word of warning that thing gets so hot it cracks the plastic endcaps after a few months of use.
I'd look for an alternative after going through one.

I wont argue they get hot but my used one i am the third owner of and the one i purchased new is well over a year now.

Maybe i just got lucky..

Also if i remember correctly it may be cheaper to buy the FW version and just buy the actinic bulb. this is the only difference in the fixture anyway. buy 2 actinic bulbs right off the bat and you have your first set of replacement bulbs.

EDIT: just checked my fixtures and i was wrong the fw version comes with 6700 bulbs and the sw with 10k and actinic.
