Chihiros A2 Series Hanging Kit

The Chihiros A2 Series Hanging Kit is a practical accessory for installing a compatible Chihiros A2 aquarium light above an open aquarium. It replaces conventional aquarium-edge supports and gives the lighting installation a clean, minimalist appearance.

Suspended installation is particularly suitable for planted aquariums and aquascaping displays. Keeping the light away from the aquarium rim improves access to the water surface and makes routine maintenance more convenient.

Adjustable installation height

The hanging cables allow the light height to be adapted to aquarium dimensions and the desired light spread. Raising the light generally creates broader coverage, while a lower position directs the light more closely towards the aquarium.

Height adjustment can also help during aquarium startup and later plant development. Lighting intensity and mounting height should always be adjusted together according to plant requirements and algae conditions.

Easier aquarium maintenance

Removing conventional supports from the aquarium rim improves access for:

• Plant trimming and replanting
• Water changes
• Substrate cleaning
• Hardscape adjustment
• Fish feeding
• Filter maintenance
• Aquarium tools and nets
• Handling compatible cover glass

Important compatibility information

The hanging kit is designed for compatible Chihiros A2 Series lights. Chihiros lighting ranges use different mounting systems, so the exact light model and attachment points must be checked before ordering.

The product is not automatically compatible with every Chihiros light series.
