Need some help hanging LEDs above biocube!

[Waleedwale1]

So I just got my evergrow D120s. Everything seems to work fine, my only obstacle is hanging them. I have 0 experience with this kind of stuff.

This is my tank right now. I plan on taking off the hood and just having the LEDs about 5-6 inches from the surface. I held them there, and the coverage was perfect, no dark corners.

This is the area above the tank, where I will somehow have to hang them. Seems like it's all drywall.

These are the LEDs, there's 4 metal bolts in which these 4 steel wires go into, and then they meet over here.

Not sure if I should build a shelf, hang from the roof or what I should do. Is the hanging kit they gave me secure? Any help will be appreciated.

I used electric conduit , friend of mine bend it for me n i paint it. Drill a small hole so the hanging kit can go thru just like if it was in your ceiling. This is the results

You can also use a set of brackets for a shelf and attach them to the wall. What's the measurement from the wall to the center point where you want to hang the fixture?

About 12-13 in

This seems like a good idea, but would 1 piece of this work since there is one hanging point? How is it held up.

Shelf Brackets

Put two with a hook on both and a shelf above for your food etc.

Yes for one light you can use one pc of conduit. Arnaldo24 that's looks sharp, great looking tank

My current plan is to get 2 shelf brackets and toggle bolts, mount 15 inches above the tank, have steel cables tied to the brackets running down 8-9 inches to the light fixtures cables. My only question now is how do I attach the cables from the fixture to the cables on the brackets? There's 4 cables on the fixture, 2 running down from the brackets and 1 connecting hook.
