• A small lamp on RLL (DNK) assemblies for a hard reef.

  • Christopher1252

The basis of the lamp consists of six radiator beams from Black Alex. Why six? Because the total length of the lamp is 2400 mm, and there were certain issues with both shipping beams of that length and with installing the lamp in the future (Sanya and I can barely lift it together). Therefore, it was decided to make a modular lamp. The dimensions of each part are 1200x600 mm. Such a segment can easily be carried by one person. In addition to the beams, 3 meters of 40x40 mm aluminum angle were used for the lamp. The connection of the parts is made with three M5 bolts using M4 studs screwed into one part (the other part has holes drilled with a diameter of 4 mm). It should be noted that, contrary to our expectations, the connection is quite easy... To be continued.

Did you decide to hang it with one frame after all? The corners somewhat spoil the picture; maybe it would have been better to use a square tube. The total weight of the aluminum comes out to more than 36 kg, so we need to think carefully about the ceiling anchors if we're going to attach it to the ceiling.

We will hang it in two parts and then connect them up there, under the ceiling. You won't see the corners from below. There is a problem with the pipe - something needs to be inserted inside it (or we need to use a metal pipe) because it will bend when tightening the mounting bolts. I already told Sanya about the anchors - he will install 15 cm anchors to ensure it is definitely secure.

Maybe it's worth looking at chemical anchors. As for the pipe, it depends on the wall thickness. There are 3mm and thicker options. In general, it all comes down to personal preference.

We didn't have square pipes in the market, and all the ones at Epicenter are thin-walled.

In the future, there is a little shop I collaborate with - I get my hair cut there. So if you need anything, I can buy it and send it.

Severely... What size aquarium is needed under such light?

John3187

1200 liters. 2440x700x700.

This is a branch of the "Aluminum" store.

Alyssa6727

No, the company is independent, it's individual entrepreneurs.

Randy

By itself ....

Reginald5073

The names of the stores often coincide. I am somewhat familiar with the local people; as far as I understand, they buy directly from the factories.

Matthew

Well, maybe. And what difference does it make, really? Sometimes you can buy cheaper from dealers than at the factory. .................. But in "my" store, the selection is better.

Thomas

Sure, no problem. The factory usually sells leftovers with a 100% markup. I saw the same BPO3373 in retail for about ~568 per meter.

Christine

The process is slowly moving forward. One half is finished, the other is in progress.

End of operation "lamp" It lasted a month (with a break for one weekend). This is how the aquarium looked under LLL (top part of the photo), and this is how it looks under the assemblies (bottom part of the photo). Attached is a photo on a larger scale. This is how the corals look under the new light:

I think there's too much red, but it's cool.

John3187

Wow. SADOK!!!

Amy1672

That's right. The channels are not set up. It takes time, and there wasn't any left. We'll work on it next weekend.
