I am getting a reptisun 10.0 bulb in the next week. How do people usually mount the fixture for them?

I am running a 24" Reptisun 10.0 in a real simple under cabinet fixture from walmart. I went with these 3M hooks which are perfect for the keyhole slots in the back of the light:

They stick right on the glass (that's what he's in now) with no problems at all. Easily removable and strong too! He's got a big animal plastics enclosure on the way and I will use them in there too to bring the light down closer to him.

Not to thread jack, but is the 24" in a 36" enclosure, or 48? I'm curious as I was wondering the same thing as him as to how to mount, and want to know what size I need for a 36 inch enclosure.

Yep... he's in a 40 gal breeder right now (36"). So the 24" was the only option. His new enclosure is a 48" and I will run 36" bulbs in there. Won't fit any other way.

Shot a quick video for you. I guess I could have gone into more detail on the 3M command stuff but check it out online for more info. The stuff is amazing!
