We have a 10 pound rating on them with no flex. A single arm can hold much more but will start to flex as weight is increased. The arm was tested to 35 pounds on one arm with no damage.

Hey.
The form I got for the rebate states it is only available for residents of the US. Do I need a different one for us up here in Canada?

Thanks!

Helped friend mount his Aquatic Life in his canopy with sBars. Looks bad butt.

Really digging the fixture... love the fact the you can easily slide the lights along the rails to adjust. Running 3 hydra 52's with 2 blue plus, 1 actinic, and one purple plus and love the colors.

Is the canopy suspended or did you mount with a TV type mount to the wall and canopy that way you can move it around? Do you have any up and down adjustment or just front to back?

I have been looking to see how to do something similar.....

Actually both... linear actuator on a custom diy 80/20 mount I made and dual heavy duty tv mounts to pull out to maintain bulbs and lights have details on my build thread.

Turned on my set for the first time and the rear two lights are not turning on. Anyone experience this issue?

Try swapping the lamps from the front to the back. If the problem travels with the lamps it’s likely one of the lamps that are bad.

It’s the ballasts end of life protection kicking in and turning off the ballast.

If it travels with the lamps number the lamps on the ends with a sharpie and see if you can determine which of the lamps causes the flashing.

If it stays with the fixture send me a PM and we can help fix the problem.

So you guys just mounted it to the to of the canopy with 2 aluminum angles? Im going to be setting up mine soon and trying to figure out how to do it. This seems pretty easy if it actually works. Did you guys add any fans into the canopy to try and keep the lights cooler?

Yes that's all we used were the aluminum angles. No we didn't need to add any fan because the canopy has an open back. It works out great.

Switching the lamps made the issue go to the other side and with a little bit of testing figured out that the issue is likely one of the lamps. Thanks for the quick reply!

Hello Dave, Have you seen the new Kessil 360X .3" larger diameter? It will make for a sleeker profile but will it fit? Ventilation may be a concern as well due to no fan
