Help! - combo fixture for orpek and radions

[RedOtterCoral]

Hey y'all,

I'm in the process of setting up my tank, and am struggling with determining the best path for mounting my lights. I have a pair of orphek or3 led bars as well as a pair of radion XR15 pro gen 4s.

The tank is 48 in long, as are the orpheks.

I'd like to mount them together, ideally with one fixture. Has anyone accomplished this?

Feel free to drop anything similar that you've rigged up, I'd love to get some ideas.

TIA!

I only have an Ikon set up at the moment, but on orphek's gallery they have several photos where they combined OR3 and Radions.

Hopefully this can help inspire you until someone else chimes in.

The issue is the Orpheks use 90 degree reflectors and should be mounted higher than radioms

Thanks so much for the link! I definitely see a lot of combos, but I can't tell what they're using, especially in the saturated blue lighting.

I may reach out to their support team directly and see if they have a recommendation

No problem. I'm not familiar with how the radions attach, but it might be simple to build something out of T-slot aluminum.

I made stand for my Icon out of aluminum conduent. It's not quiet strong enough without an end support, so it bowes down a little bit. If I would have been able to hang it from my ceiling, it would have worked perfect though.

Did you ever reach out to their support? I just got 2 OR4’s to go alongside my Radion XR15. I purchased their Universal Fixing Bracket Kit, but can’t find anywhere with how to attach the Radion. Not sure if I just need to purchase the Radion X Bracket or what…:thinking-face:
