I think that it's a shame that asbestos is a real serious health problem. It works wonders for its intended purpose.

Yes, so long as it's not damaged in any way, then it's safe to carry on using it.

I agree, asbestos was useful to a point. The health effects are more improvement to me than the use though. Thank you for all of the replies and suggestions. I will not be buying this fixture.

I’ve always been interested in all kinds of lighting, mainly incandescent and HID, and especially all kinds of sodium lamps (HPS/LPS). I’ll tolerate LED but I’m not a fan of it.
I’m not proud to say that my city has Devolved to LED.
