Time for LEDs?

Doug, I think with a bit of router work to build a beveled seat for the unit to drop into, and some black laquer, you've got a good idea there.
Part of the price you pay for these lights is for the aesthetics, it would be a shame to hide them in a canopy.

Or you could have something like this built to fit a Radion.

I think a problem with something like this, at least for me, is that on my existing tank, there's no way I could install it. Nor adjust it once installed.

Another feature I'd look at for yours is ensuring one could run the wiring through the tubing to keep everything clean

That can be done with the AI Sols because the power cord plugs into the fixture & can be easily snaked through the tube.

Ya, but I'd drill a hole further down the top arm to feed it into, rather than the front opening.

Once you see the finished set up you will see how it works, the tube ends dead center of the fixture so the cord goes straight up from the plug in, straight along the fixture & into the tube. All you will see the plug itself.

Ah, ok. Makes sense now

Yeah I'm going to pull the wires through tomorrow and mount the ARM to the stand, then you guys can get a better idea if the look we went for. It's really clean, non intrusive, and super functional for my little tank. I imagine it could be modded to fit about any stand or light. The nice thing about leds being so light is you could probably build it to mount to the wall, or even sit directly on the floor if that is an option.

Lol your just advertising this like mad! It's definitely a gnarly little mount.

Most of us using Radions are using multiples, so something with a connecting bar to join the lights could be added? OR a piece of channel that the lights could slide in for adjusting the coverage?
