Blade Multi Light Hanging Kit
Clips two or more Blade LED bars together onto a single hanging point, so a bank of fixtures moves and adjusts as one unit. It comes in three sizes by how many Blade bars you're running side by side – this bracket itself doesn't hang the lights; it needs an HMS or RMS hanging kit alongside it to actually suspend the assembly above the tank.
Key features
- One hanging point for multiple bars – ties several Blade fixtures into a single rigid frame instead of hanging each one individually.
- Sized to your light count – Small for 1–3 Blades, Medium for 2–4, Large for 5–6.
- Works across the whole Blade range – Aqua Illumination lists it as compatible with all Blade models.
- Support wires and mounting clips included for the bar count the kit is rated for.
Specifications
| Size | SKU | Blades supported | Bracket width | Mounting clips included |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small | HYDSL003 | 1–3 | 11.8 in (30 cm) | 6 |
| Medium | HYDSL004 | 2–4 | 15.75 in (40 cm) | 8 |
| Large | HYDSL005 | 5–6 | 23.6 in (60 cm) | 12 |
Every size includes two mounting brackets and a set of support wires in addition to the clips above. Aqua Illumination does not publish a weight rating, cable length or height-adjustment range for this kit – if your setup is at the upper end of a size (say, 4 Blades on the Medium kit), it's worth confirming fit with us before ordering.
Which size do I need?
Count the Blade bars you're running side by side over one tank, then match it to the ranges in the table above. If you're right on a boundary – four bars, for instance – the Medium kit is rated to it directly; there's no need to step up to Large unless you're planning to add a fifth and sixth fixture later.
What's included, and what you'll still need
- Included: mounting clips (6, 8 or 12 depending on size), two mounting brackets, one set of support wires.
- Not included – required separately: an HMS Hanging Kit or RMS Hanging Kit. This bracket only ties the Blade bars together; the HMS or RMS kit is what actually suspends the assembled frame above the tank. The Blade fixtures themselves are also sold separately.
Suitable for, and not suitable for
- Suitable for any combination of Blade Grow, Glow, Freshwater or Fuge bars run side by side, once paired with an HMS or RMS hanging kit.
- Not suitable as a standalone hanging solution – it has no hanging hardware of its own.
- Not for use with Hydra or Prime fixtures, which use AI's separate mounting ranges.
Warranty and delivery
Covered by Aqua Illumination's standard accessory warranty in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law. Ships as a small parcel – standard freight.
Common questions
Does this kit hang the lights on its own?
No. It clips multiple Blade bars into one frame; you still need an HMS or RMS hanging kit, sold separately, to suspend that frame above the tank.
Can I mix Blade Grow and Blade Glow bars in the same kit?
Aqua Illumination lists this kit as compatible with all Blade models, so mixing lines within the size limit should work mechanically. Match the total bar count to the size table above.
I have four Blade bars – do I need the Large kit?
No. Four bars sit within the Medium kit's rated range of 2–4. Step up to Large only if you're at five or six.
What's the difference between an HMS and an RMS kit?
Both are Aqua Illumination hanging systems sold separately from this bracket – talk to us if you're not sure which one your tank and ceiling setup calls for.
