Does anyone know the thread size of the top center hole on these lights?

I kind of do, as I have mine mounted unconventionally, but it's been a couple years since I did it.
I think I remember it as M5, but I'll look to see if I have the package of left over screws to confirm. It's not exotic, I grabbed some from the local hardware shop.
Just be careful not to send the threads too far into the fixture, there is no stop and the circuit board is not far away.

No, just making plans for a friends light stand.
Just got an email reply from Kessil. They say it's a 10m thread. ("The top center hole on the A360 is M10 size.")
Using this,
along with this to mate to the top center hole of the light,
Now that I'm looking at it (well, at least the picture on Amazon), I think I'm going to have to verify the thread size myself before having him order it.

LOL! It's all good. I've got every size, diameter and thread pitch bolt, tap and die in my garage but the light is at my friends house. I think I'll drive over and steal his light for a while to check it.
If I had to guess, I think the M10 might be the thread for the mount, gooseneck or otherwise... But it's definitely not the size for the hole in the housing at center.
The old 360we had a bracket across the top that I would believe was M10.

Ooooohhhh Nooooooo! Thanks for the info. That's pretty bad when you can't get a correct answer from the manufacturer. I thought that 10M looked a bit large but without the light in hand I was just guessing. Unfortunately I emailed him the link to Amazon, then had second thoughts and texted him to wait on ordering it. DOH, too late, already ordered. Oh well, what's another return amongst friends?My A360X are M5, confirmed. Probably can't tell from the photo, but that nut is m5, the screw is about 2" long.
Who is this friend of yours @Reefer Reboot , he sounds utterly useless!
