Tek retrofit end caps installation

[carlos_fb]

Tonight I was going to install my Tek retrofit kit in my canopy but I was not sure in what direction I am suppose to install the end caps' stands.

Attached there's a picture of both directions possible ( 1 or 2) , any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I would go with #1. But I don't think it really matters.

#2 should be the right way. Looks like the stands could be flipped over & mounted that way also?

Who knows? I think it really all depends on the canopy etc. I think the groove that your pointing at in the pics is for the wires. So if you had to mount it flush to the side of the canopy this little groove would give a way to route the wires along the side and not under the bulbs. But it you have room either way I don't think it matters as long as your happy with it.

This is the way I did mine VHO sockets to get my 46.5 bulbs in a 48" canopy.

Yes it can be mounted both ways too.

In that case whatever way you need would be fine but mount it like #2 & yuou should be good to go! Tell us how you like them once they are on!

I will thank you guys!

UPDATE: I just got an answer from Greg from Reef Geek and he said that either way it's fine but most folks do option 1 in the picture and run the wire out of the back.
