You have two options from EcoTech:

1. Multi-light RMS
2. RMS hanging kit

Radion Accessories - EcoTech Marine

Mounting and Hanging Kits for your Radion LED lights

I did 1 with XR30 G6 lights since 2 is harder by hanging lights.

Cheers,

I always hated the Ecotech mounting options ( along with other brands) so I try and think outside the box. Plus I like to make simple things.

I came up with a idea on how to hang 2 XR15's last year. I see no reason why this won't work for 3 fixtures.
I used 1/2" x 1/2" steel square tube to create a bridge between the 2 fixtures, attaching at the bolt holes and then a wire ceiling hanging kit attached to the 2 end bolt holes on each fixture.
The XR15's are so light that 1/2" square steel tube is more than enough to care the weight.

Once I had the fixtures hung in the air I attached 2 Reef Brite 24" XHO's using 1/8" aluminum flat bar that just rested on top the XR15's.

Diy and look into aluminum extrusion. It isnt cheap, but you can do anything you want with it!
