Are they RMS mount compatible? I currently have two XR30's via RMS mount on my tank. How would I mount these next to the XR30's?

These look really promising to me. Does anyone have them combined with radions? Looking to supplement and reduce shadowing. Is there an easy way to mount to rms rails?

Hey there. I have 2 XR15 G6 Blues on an RMS Rail. I ordered 2 AI Blade Hybrid mounting kits. My OR4s came today and mounted them easily with the supplied long screws in the kits. Simple. Now... I just need to figure out proper mounting height along with intensity of the OR4s. That's why I am here and still trying to find answers. Trial and error with a PAR meter from my LFS soon.

I should take delivery of two OR4-90’s today let me know if you have questions about them. I purchased one Blue Plus and one Reef Day Plus to go over an Innovative Marine 40L. I’m going to take PAR measurements to see if I want a second Blue Plus to get SPS PAR levels but they recommended two for my purposes.

I was going to get one AI Grow and one AI glow but didn’t like a few things such as the cost, limited LED colors in the two lights, led glare and how low they have to be mounted which restricts tank access.

How did you get on with the Blue Plus/ Reef day plus combination? Did you get any par measurements? I've just ordered 1 of each in the 30cm to replace me failing prime 16/ Blade glow combi on my red sea max nano.. just hoping 2 of these bars will be enough for my mixed reef.

Did you get your two bars? How are they working / hows the color mix?

I made a mount for this purpose with my 3D printer. Slides right into the rms track. And then screw in some bars that orphek sells.

Mmm, I am a sales rep for Orphek and the only thing I am aware of is that there is a dimming driver available for the OR4 but they would need a device capable of controlling a voltage range from 0-10 volts. We do make the OSIX controller which uses the same app as our new Icon models and this device will control up to six lights of the same length. Up to now, I have not heard what improvements have been made to the OR4 but it is ready to ship.

You mind sharing that file? I have a Bambu A1 and this mount seems perfect!

I got a 2nd OR4 bar and installed it today. Looks sweet. I put some zip ties on the3d mounts as a safety but i dont think they can break.

Also, Orphek sent me a cable extender toSince the OR4 cables are very short which allows for the driver to be on the ground.

The 2nd OR4 bar i got was shipped directly from china and has the new long cable which fixes the issue with the short cable. No extender needed for that one.
