Sps lighting kessil vs ati

I used a shelf support and mounted to the wall using some 1by and attaching that to the wall studs. Then could center the light wherever I wanted and painted the 1by to match the wall. Serves its purpose well.

Please share more info about your mounting brackets (for the Kessils). This looks great. I currently have sunpower with kessils / reefbrite. I would love to setup the kessils like this.

Finally done. 1/4 toggle into ceiling with 1/4 j hook bolts and ATI hanging kit. Much bigger than 2x kessils but the way the ati fills the tank with light is visually pleasing and I still get shimmer effect. Pleased with decision. Now hopefully my red across will color up. Noticed that the kessils really colored up green and yellows but pink red blue were really brown.
