A fellow reefer on another forum got this reply from Giesemann re ease of bulb removal.
I can't see how that's a better solution than a gap in the side panel to slide the acrylic shield out. But in any case, yours doesn't look like it has short shields...
Hello,
I just got ny STELLAR a week ago.
It don’t come with the hanging kit so I need to order the hanging wire kit again. However, it don’t come ang manual.
May I know how can you attach the wire and screwing into the rail? I am confuse.
Thank you.
The hanging kit comes with a nut that slides into the groove. You then screw the wire to the nut.

Thank you!Yes, some will be too large and others will fit. I cannot recall which ( what came with fixture or what came with hanging kit)
For what it's worth, I'm going to cut a gap into the side bracket so the shield can slide out.Putting it delicately ... what a bunch of garbage!!! They are making it up as they go.
No mine is not shortened in anyway as you can see in my earlier posts. So... now they claim that ridiculous response but I was told something totally different as you can see in my earlier quote by them.
What happened to the assurances they made regarding “extensive thermal tests”
I’ve thought about just removing the shields because frankly the “loosen the plate screws and tilt” as they told me, simply doesn’t work.
I used to be a loyal customer of theirs. I admired their great products and customer service. These responses have completely erased my confidence and goodwill.
So very disappointing that Giesemann has resorted to making excuses for what is clearly a design flaw and oversight.
Buyer beware!

In spite of the issues, I love mine!

The stellar is on about 10 pounds in weight.
The T5 are only on or off not controllable.
I ordered directly from them on the website. It took about 4 weeks before they shipped.
I’m using mine to supplement my Led so they are only on for about 6 hours of my 12 hr photoperiod.
Yes, I think its plenty....Yours was the 900mm right? Did it give enough light for the 425xl? I dont like shadows so i want light at the endes as well
