I don't believe you can make your own fixture, and fall under any recognized testing agency--unless you use all parts listed for use per manufactures recommendations. In other words, if all parts being assembled are listed for said use, then you should be fine. Technically, you aren't making your own fixture!

I thought it might be a young Musician wanting to make a lamp out of a Drum?
