![]() Sunbrite makes a 72" led fixture. I've been using one since they came out, and haven't had any issues. I was going to the store to get radions, but big Al's had a sunbrite over one of their tanks, and I loved how it looked. The price difference played a small part too.

![]() thanks for some of the responses. I had heard of the Sunbrite series of fixtures but most of the reviews I have read on them regarding performance was pretty underwhelming.
The majority of complaints I read about these lights were that the cooling fans in the 7 series was quite loud and when the power goes out and comes back on they instantly goto full power regardless of your programmed settings. Just a little bit Leary of these lights from my limited research I have done. |

![]() You could always make a frame that sits on the tank that can hold the more modular LED pendants like AI, Ecotech & GHL.
The Maxspects also have a rail mounting system ![]() |
