I believe some actually treats the 2 round parts as the "last step" instead of the actual step...most fixtures have much longer "stoppers" than the AE......if the AE made the two round "stoppers" then it may solve the problem.....
I think the problem is that the steps are further up. In other lights, level is in the middle. On the 115, the step for it to be level appears to be the 1st or 2nd one...
