    For the AI light owners, how do you mount your lighting. I know the lights are great but my drawback is their bulky rail system that will only allow lights to be mounted perpendicular rather than horizontal. I am getting a rimless and want to keep things nice and sleek.

    thanks!

    Before I sold them, I had the 26s on the rail kit with the hanger. I used the black rail spacer for the 52s to make the rails farther apart and then used slightly longer bolts to put the 26s parallel to the rails. I really liked the spread with having a deeper tank, a 120.

    So i just bought these ai sols. I wanted to mount them parallel so i made some new end rails and now the lights rest in the groove with the outer lip. Have hung them yet but im confident this will work well.
