I have a 120 in-wall I'm in the process of building. I purchased a pair of Maxspect Ethereal for my lighting, but the brackets that come with it had two issues: They don't fit over my rimmed tank without cutting some of the plastic, and the brackets would be in the way for me to perform maintenance.
My solution was a set of inexpensive tv/computer monitor articulated wall brackets.
Below is the supplied mounting bracket and screws for the Ethereal. It is designed to be attached to the other half of the bracket that attaches to the tank. Luckily, through design or through coincidence the hole pattern exactly matches a VESA 100x100 tv mounting plate.
Below is the mounted result. I can easily swing the lights up and out of the way and adjust the angle and height however I choose. I still need to complete my door panel that will cover the space above the tank but when completed the lights/brackets will not be visible from outside the fish room.
I hope this helps anyone with a similar issue.
