New Custom Mounting Brackes for Aqua Illuminations LEDs and EcoTech Radion

Are the cable permanent? or can they be removed? whats there when removed? I will not let this beat me, I WILL FIGURE SOMETHING OUT!!!

[Kryos]

Not sure which cable you're asking about:
Hanging cables attachments can be removed, they just screw on. Once removed, there are holes which I can screw something else into it. I know this is probably the most viable way to use those brackets, but the problem is the electrical cable is in the way of the metal plate. I have thought of using a washer/spacer and use longer screws to attach it. However, the hole on the left is quite close to the electric cable as in the pic, so the washer/spacer needs to a specific size/shape. Knowing my hardware stores, I don't think I can find something as specific as that...

Electrical cables, not sure why you want to remove it, but I don't think it's removable.

not a problem, that would be easy for Greg to work around I'm sure. he's a pretty crafty fellow

I also thought about this idea.



but I'm worried about the structural integrity (strength) of the narrow parts of the bar at 1. between the hole and the nick for the cable. and 2. the part holding the left end to the centre.

how much does the light weigh? I personally dont see it being a risk. thats 1" flat bar

I'm not sure how much it weighs exactly, but it's chassis is 1/8" Aluminum, and the heatsink is aluminum as well I believe.

If you ask me, I'd say it'd weigh a couple pounds (hand estimate), so each side of the plate would need to hold up ~1 pound.

Thought I would share what I have done for my Radion's. I made this out of aluminum angle bar. Drilled it and notched out where the controls are on my Radion's. Works awesome!

That is what I was thinking of as well but not an 'L' shaped notch just a straight slot at a bit of an angle. If I made it out or 1 1/2" x 1/4" flat bar it would last longer then the light.

Hey guys, sorry I added the hanging kit as an option without actually explaining it properly. A hanging kit will work with these brackets as well if you want to use one of those. See picture below. Butterfly insert from the hanging kit goes inside the mount. The hanging kit is sold separately however. The one pictured here goes for $44.95 its a pretty good one http://www.modularled.ca/ai-hanging-kit/

If using a hanging kit is better to have 2 arms supporting the light to keep it steady. 2 arms plus one hanging kit is what you would need.

You can also send a diagram as I see you have done for the more solid mounting.
