What's the best way to mount Orphek Icons in a canopy? How would you do it?

I've got 6 of 'em. Here's the tank!

Here's the canopy.

I'm thinking that mounting a rail system is the best way to do this.

My canopy has a top and they are mounted to a hook screwed into the canopy.
Option would be a rail needed due to their weight

Daniel- My lights almost out for the night. Here is how i have it:

If I had to mount 6 Icons, I would make some extruded aluminum rails that run parallel each other the length of your canopy.

Then I would get some connectors similar to these: Amazon . I didn't see the size of the hole in them, but obviously you would want to find one that is similar to the size of the Icon holes. Then 4 of those per Icon. Get some bolts with some big winged nuts, and you're in business.

You would be able to adjust the lights as needed, and if you needed to take out a single fixture, you wouldn't have to take down the whole thing. You could undo 4 nuts, and the light is free.

I have one Icon, and made mine out of aluminum conduent. I did not do wing nuts, but I don't have a canopy. I would want to be able to tighten and loosen by hand.

I used 80/20 to keep the profile as clean and low as possible. Excuse the dirty tank….hahaha. Cleaned it after the move etc.
