No. But you may consider waterproof endcaps and/or really good ways to
secure the bulb to the hood. I asked my brother to feed the fish for me
while I was out of town one time, and he slammed the lid down too hard
after feeding the fish. I came home and found one bulb submerged in the
water, but still on. I had waterproof end caps and they worked. No
damage. I have since then added more bulb clips to hold that bulb. If you
are using clips, the locking type is more secure.
