Anybody know the gauge (Thickness) of the 4 screws in each corner securing the covers please? Thanks.

I believe it’s an M5 x .8

M5 are you sure that sounds a bit big? I was thinking more M3 or M4.

It’s been awhile but I believe that’s the size I purchased at my local hardware store.

Go to their site. I think I saw it there. Let me try to find it.

Can't see anything on their site about screw sizes. Just so there is no confusion I mean the ones on the bottom of the light that you remove to attach the defusers.

I think you may be mixing up the screws on the top securing the lights to the likes of the tank brackets. I mean the ones on the bottom of the light that you remove to attach the defusers.

I can confirm that M5 are the ones that are used to mount the arm to the top of the light. I do not know what size the ones you are asking about are - sorry.

Unknown. Try to call their customer service.

If you go to Lowe's they have a screw size checker and you can thread one in to see what fits. I'm like 90% certain I recently purchased m4's to mount my Xr15's to a t5 hybrid bracket.

Sorry, misread your initial post. I have the diffuser kit on my Radions too, and if I remember right you just unscrew the bottom plate off and use the same screws to mount the white diffuser plate holder which attaches via 4 magnets on the outside edge of the piece.

Yes, I am aware of that but I am working on my own defuser and I need longer screws with my idea.
