Hello,

I just purchased a light fixture and do not know how to mount the legs. It is a dual bulb fixture. Thanks.

my answer will be as vague as your question.

glue, screws, duct tape, velcro, nails, silicone... take your pick

What Sean is trying to say is we need more info, say maybe a link to the light or pics. Personally I would hang it.

I have 2 different lights, both have grooves on the lamp for the legs to slide onto. If it has a clamp screw you can (probably) attach the legs to the tank frame, although I have to rest 1 on a glass lid, it doesn't quite reach

Legs and lamps come in all different sizes as you can see here.

We're going to need a few more details. Are we talking junior or queen sized?

Thanks everyone for trying to help. I bought the light used and the fixture does not have the name on it. The previous owner told me it is similar to the quad T5HO fixture. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find the grooves, and was told that the were inside the light (not on the sides). I will see if I can upload a pic. Thanks again!

The grooves run the length of the light housing, back & underneath on 1, more like a small lip along front & back edge on another. On yet another there are grooves on the bottom that I think are where legs would go if I had them.
