Any ideas on using 80/20 to build a light hanging kit?

[Jakepen]

So I have a 60 ATI fixture, I won't be hanging from the ceiling. I was thinking I could use 80/20 to build a hanging kit. Anyone ever do this, or even have any ideas how I would? It was just a thought, and I'm no engineer. Was thinking something like this would be ideal.

Yes sir.
I have it in use.
First it was designed for Radions but after 5 years I stuck a ATI hybrid on it.
Tank is dark now but look into my build thread or spotlight thread to find pics of both.

Did this a couple weeks ago with a trio of AI Prime HDs, Prime Hanging Kits and a whole bunch of washers, nuts and bolts from Home Depot. I'm sure I could have saved more money by DIY'ing the hanging kits themselves, but I appreciated the hanging kit's adjustability.

Honestly, it was pretty simple, and enjoying the end result (though I wish I had selected an 80/20 extrusion that allowed me to hide the cords.

Forgot to mention that this ReefBuilders article is what inspired me to make the upgrade: https://reefbuilders.com/2015/10/05/aqua-illuminations-10prime-led-array-show-tank/

Thanks guys, Diesel love the tank, sly I like that scape, what size is that tank?

So diesel looks like you have yours mounted right onto the wall? I like that idea, however I would have to mount a piece on the wall, then run two arms off of it 16" or so. Would that work, not sure how much weight it could hold.

Also is there any specific style 80/20 I should use?
