Karen B. Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I have this 30-36 inch Nicrew LED light. My aquarium is 24 inches and I have a plexiglass sheet on top (acrylic plexiglass 1/4’’ thick). As the light is too long, the feet (brackets?) won’t be able to rest on the plexiglass. Is it ok to just place the lamp directly on the plexi, with no space in between? Would the heat damage or melt the plexiglass or the light? Thank you! Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenman Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I do it with mine, and so far anyway, no issues. And my acrylic isn't even 1/4" thick, but the thinner stuff used for window glass replacement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanked Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 You could put a spacer between the light and the plexi if you are concerned. Anything that is not round would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
