Upgrading to budget lights - mounting?

[Lori_inFL]

Nevermind the used FB lights and fabricating my own ceiling hanging device. I was thinking 3 Nicrew Hyper Reef 100s on my 6' x 24" x 21" peninsula tank. But Amazon only has a picture of the 65" rail, without an option to buy. Ican't find it anywhere else.

So, i am looking at using Ecotech RMS rail mount. NO radions! Will either Smat Farm 140w, the Nicrews, or NooPsyche K7 pro V3 hang on the RMS rail? Or do i need to find some 3D printed mounts. I do want them to run parallel with the rail bc it seems to me that perpendicular to the rail will be too much spillage since the tank isn't 30".

I anticipate I will need shades, so that may be a consideration as to which light best meets my needs.

Thanks!

There seems to be a cottage industry of printed mounts for these lights.
Just an example:

Of course the rails themselves are mostly DIY.

I’m not sure about those lights, but the budget a8se lights work with the rms mount:)
