8020 Kessil Mount

Recieved my 8020 at the beginning of the week. Got around to putting it together and mounting it on the tank stand last night. It was very easy to put together, as long as you know what mounting hardware belong to what fastener! All in all I have to say that the 8020 light mount is MUCH better then the Kessil goose neck, especially since I had the goose neck on the side of the tank. I'll have a full video on the 8020 coming out soon in the next couple of weeks.

For those interest this is the order that I placed with the hardware. To better help you purchase from the 8020 website I would suggest a few things. First choose your Framing Option. Once you decide on your Framing Option use the Series of your frame to better sort your fasteners (I used external fasteners). Second when you are buying fasteners pay attention to the Suggested Hardware tab at the bottom of the page. The Suggest Hardware will give you the exact part number you will need.

I went with the 4 slot frame so that I can hide wires in the slots of the frame

Had to make the hole bigger on the fastener I bought. Right now I have zip ties holding the light to the 8020

Looks good..
I call that stuff "Adult Legos" .. Its FUN stuff to work with I use it all the time at work for machine frames/fixtures,etc.. (well the comparable stuff from Misumi)


I could never stand (pun intended) a light hanging/spilling over my tank like that though..

I have to agree, it was fun sorting all of the pieces I needed to make this work. At times my head hurt even on this small project!

I don't mind the light spilling over, 98% of the time when we are downstairs all of the lights in the house are on so the spillage isn't that noticeable.
 
Unboxing the 8020, building my light frame and finally video of the 8020 mounted to my tank stand and over my 20 long!
