Are there any products out there to easily attach T5 to a V2? At 9" wide they won't fit on the LED/T5 hybrid setups out there as they only have 7" open in the center. I'd like to add 2 bulbs front and back to cut down on shading.
Thanks,
Todd

I've pondered this. I figured I would eventaully use the retrofit T5 kits but I could understand if someone was interested in a better looking option as far as hardware goes.

The aquatic life hybrid is simply 2 sets of t5’s with a bracket that holds them 7” apart. It is quite possible to extend that bracket, or DIY another bracket that might widen it 2 more inches.

I believe the photon has a channel along the top you can use for bolts...I don’t think it would be too difficult to fashion a bracket that’s used those to support the t5’s on either side.

The top of the Photon V2 has a T slot with several 6mm bolts inside. You can use almost anything and bolt it to the T-Bolts. We have extras if you need any more.
