[QUOTE="magicmagni, post: 2039569, member: 72652"] Today I worked on mounting up the HUGE 48" 80 watt monster LED light Bar!! [URL="https://www.lightyourreptiles.com/lumenize-jungle-dawn-led-bar-1240mm-48-80-watt/"]LumenIZE Jungle Dawn LED Bar, 1240mm (48"), 80 watt[/URL] [TABLE] [TR] [TD][URL='https://www.lightyourreptiles.com/lumenize-jungle-dawn-led-bar-1240mm-48-80-watt/'][IMG]https://cdn10.bigcommerce.com/s-xzhjb/products/661/images/1003/lumenize_80_watt_1__09014.1701370054.386.513.jpg?c=2[/IMG][/URL][/TD] [TD][URL='https://www.lightyourreptiles.com/lumenize-jungle-dawn-led-bar-1240mm-48-80-watt/']LumenIZE Jungle Dawn LED Bar, 1240mm (48"), 80 watt[/URL] LightYourReptiles.com was founded on one simple idea: To bring the best in full spectrum lighting products to the herpetological community. [URL="http://www.lightyourreptiles.com"]www.lightyourreptiles.com[/URL][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [I][/I] I settled on mounting the light in the in the front section of the ceiling- forward enough not to block the ThermalZoo Pro fixture, but at this location the light would only illuminate the front area and not so much the back. I needed a way to tilt the Jungle Dawn LED Bar so to light up the enclosure more evenly So I came up with this custom bracket.. [ATTACH type="full"]86840[/ATTACH] It's really quite simple, but effective. Here is a breakdown of the parts picked up from my local HW store excluding the new plastic clip that comes from Arcadia with the LumenIZE stuff. I suppose you can also do this with the older metal ones too, but just be careful that the head of the screw doesn't stick out too far or else it won't clip into the light. This isn't so much a problem with the new plastic ones from Arcadia since it has a countersunk screw interface and is much thicker. I elected to use a nut with lock washer for added security. Also a nylon washer is sandwiched in-between the two L brackets to act as a bushing since this is the pivot point. Once tightened you just grab the light and adjust the tilt how you want and it stays in place. If you are constantly adjusting it you may need to tighten it again, but I have not had to. I chose the lowest profile to keep the light as high as possible, but I suppose a longer bracket (or even en extension piece between the two could be used to get it closer to a basking spot if needed.
