Perfect canopy mount for any LED

md2882 · Nov 20, 2020

I have never understood why the only LED that offers a canopy mount is the kessil AP700. I came up with a system that will work with ANY LED Fixture.
The cost was about $45 to mount 4 Hydra 52’s in my 60 inch canopy. No issues with cooling.
-SuperStruts (Lowe’s electrical section)
-Staunless bolts that fit the mounting holes of the fixture.
-Fender washers (I used 1 1/4 x 1/4)

What is that you mounted them too? I’m looking for ideas to mount my Orpheks

That’s my canopy flipped on it’s top. This is it over my aquarium.

Nice little DIY setup. I like it!

Agree, nice build. Only concern might be the struts and saltwater splash/creep over time since I assume they are just painted. SS ones would make it foolproof.

Setup looks great and very affordable! I spray with rustolum before installing metal bracket components though.

I did. I’m having a set powder coated black. That should do it.

Unfortunately they don’t come in stainless. I am having some powder coated as we speak. With the cost so low I can just replace them if I need to
