lighting question for someone who knows electricity

I'm not sure if I should post this here or in the lighting, filtration...forum, anyways here is my question: I have a european t5 light fixture which runs on 230v and 50 hz.
I want to run it here in Canada. I have a 220v line ready to go but here we run on 60 hz.
I am wondering if the different frequency will affect how the gasses burn in the t5 bulbs. Might there be a shift in spectrum or intensity from the norm due to the slight difference in voltage or frequency?
thanks
