Does a Kessil light bar exist?

[BotanicalReefer]

Hi everyone.

I’m attempting to connect my Kessil lights on some type of light bar and cannot find one. I have 1 AP9X, and
2 A-160 tuna blue lights on a 80 gallon.

Looking online I do not see an option. Just curious if anyone is aware of how to mount them all on one bar, instead of 3 different mounts?

Thanks in advance!

Light bar could mean a couple different things. I think you mean a single bar that all the lights would mount to, like the Ecotech RMS track. In that case, no they don’t make one. Or at least not when I was looking for one a couple years ago. I’ve seen people make one with some DIY’ing using the screw holes at the top of the lights.

If instead you mean light bar light as in a long bar that lights up, no they don’t make that either, but there are other manufacturers with LED light bar options.

you could try searching"Kessil RMS rail mount" to see if that's what you are looking for.

with 3D printing, someone's been making this possible

Yes, I am referring to a single light bar to connect 3 individual Kessil lights to.

Thanks guys, sounds like the DIY options/3D printing may be the way to go. I’ll do some research via those routes.

Thanks.

Next time you come in I will show you how I mounted my lights above my 100gl display, it’s pretty easy with one of those metal strips to mount shelving holders on you can get at Home Depot. I didn’t think of that when you called. About $20 and a little work you’ll be good to go hopefully

Wasn’t Aquatic Life making a light fixture to support different brand LED units? I think the light bars had T5 on the outer sides and the middle track was to mount LED units if different manufacturers

That's how I have my three 360x mounted. The white cross brackets can be attached to support different kinds of lights, but they also make brackets specific to the A360 and A180

Thanks everyone. This gives me some good ideas to work with.

I connected two 360x with the standard arm. I just used an aluminum bar and bolted one on each side of the bar
