Finished hanging the t5 fixture over the weekend, still need to mount LED’s, install bulbs and work on wire management but so far I’m happy with the way it’s coming along.

I did a how to for lighting Installation here..

how do you get your wires to stay put? Same fixture and mine will slip front to back sometimes. Is there wire holders for the two wires that form the top of the pyramid?

Hey everyone.. Sorry I haven't been active lately. I injured my leg and broke some bones in my foot doing home repairs, ended up getting a nasty infection from the wound and have been out of commission the last several weeks. The pain meds kept me zonked out and the antibiotics made me constantly feel sick.. I'm feeling much better and really need to get back in the swing, my tank is a disaster.. lol

Hope you get fixed up soon.

are you talking about wires that hang light fixture? Mine has screws that lock the cables and prevent movement..

for power cord management I use zip tie mounts along back edge of fixture..

Those screws stop it from going up down but not left right. I’ll show a video of what I mean then
