Screw the supplied hook screw into the wood so that the thread is
fully immersed.
Attach the supplied suspension cable (fig.4 # 4) to the lighting unit
by sliding it through the supplied retention guides (fig.4 # 3) and
continuing through the integrated suspension tabs of the lighting unit.
Then slide the supplied suspension cable (fig.4 #4) back through the
retention guides (fig.4 #3) and securely fasten the retention guide
(fig.4 #3) using the two supplied retention screws (fig.4 #5). To ensure
a secure installation it is recommended that approximately 1/2” (1.27
cm) of suspension cable protrudes beyond the retention guide after
the retention screws are securely fastened.
Use hook to support chain, not the electrical cord.
Repeat the same process as above without sliding the suspension
cable through the integrated suspension tabs of the light unit and
use the resulting loops to suspend the lighting unit from the supplied
screw hook (fig.4 #2) above your aquarium.
The
GLO T5 HO Linear Fluorescent Lighting System
must be
installed when suspending the unit using only the supplied
suspension kit hardware.
It is strongly recommended that the supplied hook screw is
mounted into a solid wood surface that is a minimum of 1 1/4”
(3 cm) thick. Do not install on radiant heating type ceiling.

Incorporated into a channel situated at the top
of your lighting system are two hanging tabs
designed to support a suspended installation.
Lift the tabs so that they are perpendicular to
the lighting units. You may need to carefully pry
up the tabs with a small suitably sized flathead
screw driver.
