I apologize if addressed already but at some point in this thread the rep indicated there was a "bracket hard mount" in the works to avoid the cable. I have an AP700 and want to put with this AL 48'' fixture, but inside my canopy... I can't accommodate height needed for cable.

It is being considered now. The new housing is fully assembled and we can do a few different things with it, just not sure what people would want.
We can split the lamps like we did on the dimmable, one lamp back and one lamp front, the other two inner middle. We could do one power cord but would it be better to have two so you could run one lamp in the front and one in the back? So many choices. Please feel free to let us know what you would want us to do.

The wall mount will be shipping with the dimmable at the same time. Its moving along. They will be available in black and white versions. Plus if needed you could paint them the wall color and the mount should disappear...….

No problem, you will have plenty of space down the middle of the 61".

Take a look at page 71 in the thread. Is that more of what you are thinking for mounting to a canopy? This way there is no need for the suspension wire. It looks solid and with them both being aluminum should be good to go.
Let me know if you meant something else.

We changed the shipping box last minute so they are close. We should have them sooner but getting them into resellers hands adds some time too. Sorry everyone..

And how does it feel like, to wake up in the sun
Both of my units are modded to a single cord, I have zero regrets.

We are only wanting to expand the line. The current models will stay the same, sorry no price decrease on the original.

We are still working on the details of what we should include. Some people are more DIY than others.
The dimmable ballast uses an additional wire to control one side of the lamps. So it could be something that the series wire between the yellow sockets is cut and the brown wire is spliced into. This would require some wiring and some tools. We are also looking at a complete assembly, new sockets wired to the ballast, new small fixture endplates, power cord installed and a new larger bracket for the ends to allow for the 0 - 10 V control wires. Leaning more toward the complete assembly to make sure it works for all.

How many cords does the new dimmable fixture have? I was disappointed to discover my AquaticLife hybrid fixture had two cords. This made cord management more challenging and didn't make for a sleek, polished look like I'd expected. All the stray cords and having to assemble it myself seemed like a downgrade from my very cheap hydroponic T5 light.

Just the one power plus the 0 - 10v control wire plus of course the additional LED power cords.
What size and how many LED fixtures did you install?
Assembling is required so we can offer the additional width options and larger LED. It can be reduced in width to 16” wide up to 23.25 for wider aquariums.

Let us know what you are thinking. Peninsula tanks are making the mounting more challenging.

Special delivery.... Unfortunately there is a chunk missing out of the box... dang UPS. Scratched up and bent the frame of the fixture. Sux...
Sorry to see hear.
Let me know if we can get you parts to get you fixed back up.
