My hanging mount for ATI light Fixture

scfurse77 · Sep 29, 2016

I bought an ATI Dimmable Sunpower 6X24 fixture and couldn't find a lot on mounting this thing. So I stole some ideas from forums and friends and this is what I came up with. Tell me what you think.

Started with 30" 2x7 piece of wood. Sanded it down and used some spray on stain.

Here is the metal pipes "conduit" I used for the hangers, I guess we'll call it an industrial look. Picked up all this stuff at Home Depot. About $40 for everything.

Just a few progression pics up until the finished product.

Why the elbows?
Why not pull the cap off and just use it in place of the elbows?

All just for looks man. Adds a little style to it rather then just a straight pipe coming out.

That looks awesome! May have to totally use your idea for my next build...

I think I'd be stealing this idea if I ever get hanging lights! Nice job!

Nice, If you are looking for ideas on iron pipe 'projects' Look on Pinterest; there are some good ones.

How are the hanging strings/wires attached to the rods? Can't see a good view of this

I believe they are draped over the top...

It looks to me that he only used 1 of the strings...........

Yup Exactly! just used one wire and hung it over the top of the bars. Keeps me from having to adjust both sides when the time comes to lowing the light closer to the water.

Thanks for all the kind words!

Looks great. If I were to get the similar ATI fixture that you have here, did they suggest it be about 12" above the water? Is that about how high it is from the water?

Yeah it's really close. I think it's 11" I will lower an inch a week until I get to 7" and then I'll call it good. Some people like to go as low as 5" but I've got some SPS that are pretty high up.
