[mfinn]

Looking for a idea for hanging a led fixture without a canopy.

I currently use a conduit pipe hanger for my ATI t5 fixture similar to the one in this link.

DIY


But was hoping to find something different to hang a led fixture ( Radion)

Martin,
OBD is doing a little R&D on a new slim steel system to retrofit on to (I think) any style cabinet.
I think it may be on the market fairly soon. Less than 4 weeks!!!

Can't wait for that.

Grip Lock fittings are what is used by Ecotech for the Radion kits. They can be used to hang just about anything. You can buy parts here:
Griplock Wire Hanging System - Picture Hanging Systems

I purchased parts to add a third cable to the 2 Radions over my tank from the folks in the link above.

More info and they can probably tell you who else to purchase from:
Lighting Suspension | Art | Display Suspension | Griplock Systems, Inc.

I have the cable system for the Radion light coming. I just need a way to support the light and cables.
I don't want to go to the ceiling, because the cables would interfer with cabnets that are mounted to the wall over the tank.
I don't want to hang off the bottom of the cabnets because of the distance from the bottom of the cabnets to the top of the tank.

What are you hanging the cables from?

Just looked at a build on Reef Central where a guy used what looks like a 1/2" x 3" aluminum flat bar.
It is attached to the back of the stand and curves up over the middle of the tank.
Looks pretty slick. I wish I had access to aluminum stock like that.

The guys whole build is pretty slick.

Mine hang from ceiling. McClendons or Home Depot might have the aluminum stock you are looking for.
