Great
Excellent... for mounting legs

For what they are, these mounting brackets are excellent. They have a solid metal construction (not plastic like those flimsy Current USA legs), and attach to the fixture with thick, sturdy screws. The instructions leave something to be desired, but it's easy enough to figure out how to get it set up. (Just be aware that the "Acrylic Style" setup may be necessary for some glass tanks without wide rims.) Height adjustment isn't too tricky; the thumbscrews could have been made a touch bigger, though. However, there are three drawbacks to these brackets (two of which are inherent to mounting brackets). 1. They may not get the light as close to the water as you might like (see the stock photo to get an idea of how low it can go). 2. It may not be able to go high enough for truly easy maintenance, and adjusting the height is obviously not as easy as with a suspended setup. 3. Because of the way Tek fixtures have you insert the acrylic splash shield (you have to remove one of the side panels to slide it in or out), you will also have to remove one of these leg mounts, too. Considering that you already have to remove five screws to remove the side panel in the first place, the extra two or three the mounting bracket adds probably isn't a big deal, but it's an added pain nonetheless. Overall, these are the highest-quality mounting legs that I've ever seen, and if you do want or need mounting legs, they don't come better than this. If you're looking to put a Tek light over a display tank, I'd consider the less expensive and more convenient cable suspension system first. But, if that's not an option or you're looking to light a tank like a refugium or QT, this might be the way to go.
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

I actually used it for another type of fixture which is the Orbit HQI w/ T5. It worked just like I imagined, Fantastic. Very sturdy and heavy material used for this stand!!!
