The house I'm in is pretty old, and I'm not sure how to set up an Arc Fault Breaker on my panel box. Probably a silly question as I might just need to unscrew the outer panel, but I don't want to electrocute myself. Here are a couple pictures of the box:

While I'm at it, I have another question. I was considering purchasing the CAP high temperature cut off. It shuts off whatever is plugged into it when the temperature in your room exceeds what you set the CAP high temperature cut off to. It then turns power back on when the temperature drops below what you had it set to. I was thinking about hooking my light up to this item, but then I realized that I wouldn't want the power coming back on if the temps were too high. If, for example, the light caught fire; it would trigger the controller and then trigger my flame defender which would put out the fire. Eventually, the temps would get low enough that power would be brought back to the lights which could trigger another fire. Is there a way to get a cut off that cuts off power for good or am I being unrealistic about the possibility of second fire being started by an already burnt up light?
Thanks for your time.
