IMO the power cord is a little short. An additional 3-6 feet would be ideal for most. Having the cord this short will require a little creativity and likely some form of an extension.

Hi, looks great!

Can you please share your 8020 setup? I am struggling on the universal arms on my current setup.

I purchased the new icon and two or4 bars to replace my radions. have yet to make the swap but I hope they serve me well. they seem like well made high quality lights.

How do you like them so far? I had to add 3 OR4 bars (2 blue plus and one blue sky) to get a spectrum I like. I'm frustrated when taking pics and videos that doesnt look the same as I see on websites where they use Radions (which can be photoshopped, I understand).

Hope this helps. The 8020 setup is pretty straightforward - a basic T shape Not shown in the visual below are the four beams running parallel to the tank. In the pic above, I think I’d only set up three so far. I’ve done this setup three times across my tanks. It’s harder to install after the tank is set up but still doable if you have enough backspace to work with. For added stability, you can include another T. You might not need to run the beam against the wall all the way to the floor, but I would, since all the weight is on the center beam in this setup.

I’ve included the items I used for the setup in the list above (pulled from previous my order) - see attachment.

lmk if you have questions. happy to help.

still have yet to install them, I received the mounting bracket I ordered this week so this weekend may be the time to do it.
