Par38 mount

[jjjo]

Anyone have any good ideas on how to mount a par38 over a 12 inch rimless cube? without it looking too ghetto?

 

I am currently trying to set up a sweet smaller nano reef, and want to try out a par38 for lighting, since I havn't heard anything good about 12inch t5s being ready.

 

So PICS of par38 mounts.

 

Hanging the light from the ceiling is also OUT of the question.

 

thanks,

jjjo

You could do a very small piece of track lighting mounted on some conduit. Its what I did for mine but I have 4 par 38's going. This guy has a decent looking fixture on his picotope. I say decent cause I've never really seen a fixture that looks good with a par38 hanging out of it.

i actually just got done building a mount for my par 38 for my 3 gallon. i just used a piece of conduit, a 10 ft long extension cord, an outdoor light socket, and a pvc elbow. it actually turned out pretty good. better than i thought. i still have to paint the conduit black but here is a quick pic. it looks good in my oppinion and if you do it right it doesnt look ghetto....at least to me lol. let me know what you think.
