There are a lot of negative reviews about the AI Prime flex arm breaking and causing the light to fall into the tank. I was wondering if anyone has found an alternative arm that is compatible with the AI Prime 16HD thread, or any alternative ways to set it up.
Alternatives to AI Prime light flex arm ?

This one is great, and can easily be modified with a metal saw if you're tight for space

I bought a 3-light track light, gutted it and installed the primes using their own stock metal brackets. After that I bought the floating shelf that it's mounted to. There is a coat closet on the other side of the wall. I drilled a small hole through to the closet side and ran the wires through, so all the power supplies are in the closet.

I hated the metal one. If you looked at them they would move, lol.
Metal vs bendable.
