Red Sea max s series t5 fixture led retro

[Reef Pro]

Hi all! What have people been able to do in-terms of retrofitting led's into the original t5 fixture sold with the Red Sea max s series aquariums.... wanting to do a hybrid of both t5 and led's however the area in the middle of the t5 fixture is very narrow "about 4.4 inches" making it difficult to find led fixtures to fit into there.
Pls lmk what you have come up with for some inspiration as I am planning my build
Thanks

You can buy and upgrade kit to the new LED’s, although I can’t help with the mixed version personally

I think @GoVols did a modification similar to what your after on his S400

This is a UK site but might help you find some information to research as well

Looked into the AI prime however it will not fit inside the opening... the kessils will fit however I am concerned on the spotlighting effect since they r only 4” above the water line

Thanks! I reached out to @GoVols about his kessil/t5 mod for his s400. If you know of any other people that did similar mods pls lmk as I am trying to come up with the best possible combination for this tank.
Thanks again
