Best way to hang Lumenarc minis in a canopy?

[shelburn61]

Mine didn't come with any type of mounting bracket. Looking for ideas on how to hang these?

They seem too heavy and unbalanced to just use the hole in the top?

Use some angle aluminium. I think HD has it, make a square with and a center bar.

I used some 1/2" pvc conduit to hang them from

I just hung my new lumenbrights tonight. 2 full size and one mini.

I cut slots in the top of the canopy and rigged up a slide mechanism so I can get them out of the way when I want to stick my hands in the tank.

1 block of wood that the ceiling of the reflector is screwed to, and then another block of wood up above on top of the canpoy screwed to the reflector but a gap in between the reflectors wood and the ceiling that I can still slide the entire thing back and forthI did end up having to also secure the back(mogul side) to the same block of wood above the canpoy to account for it being heavy on that side...but it was easy enough.


works pretty well...

although the conduit idea looks a little simpler and I just may have done it that way would I have seen it or thought of it lol
