Hanging A500X lights from the wall

[cba191]

Has anyone rigged up something like this for the Kessil lights?

I’d be worried about the rust factor over the water.

I didn't think about that

I actually used to have a 55” flatscreen wall mounted above my hexagon tank… that tv ran happily for nearly a decade of hard use!

The only parts of the wall mount which corroded/rusted were fasteners, as the frame was painted!

— you could theoretically just install with stainless fasteners and I don’t think you’d have any issues with this setup!

I was just thinking it would be nice to move the light out of the way for maintenance.

Oh I agree! And, this mount is the fraction of the cost of a typical Kessil mount, with ample load rating!

(Also, Kessil uses steel fasteners on their light mounts, which I can tell you from experience will rust themselves in place!)
