You have to read more of the thread, about how I fabricated these channels/rails from this wire protector piece. I cut it into several lengths to fit the Radion fixtures, drilled holes to mount to the channels that slide inside the rails. Rounded and filed the edges smooth, so it looks pro, and then mounted the rails to my canopy. Works really great. And costs less than 10 bucks for all my Radions.

What makes it work, is the sliding channel inside the raceway. Not sure about the AI Sols, but sure fits well with the Radions.

But the principle and function is the same as the ones I used from HD. They are good for an inside canopy mounting. My Radions just slide fore and aft for positioning (and quick removal), but if I added another perpendicular set, I could have sideways positioning too. However, that would use up more height room inside my canopy which I don't have.

Never thought of them, they're a 5 minute walk from here :) I'll go look.

How about using drawer slides?
