The bracket can be mounted to the brace or the rim of the tank 👌👍

Is there any adjustability in the colours? I like a lot of red/pink/blue in my lights and hate yellow/green light.

Can they be adjusted?

Nope, a single cob light. Tbf it’s hard to beat 6500k colour temp for true colours of everything.

And they're bright enough for a 22" deep tank?

They might have changed the model since I got them lol. The marine version is adjustable, I know that for sure.

Just updating this for anyone interested in the Asta 20s.

Decent quality, plenty bright enough, but the Freshwater ones are single colour, not the multi colour LEDs as shown in some of the Amazon pics which are in fact the salt water versions with colour change capacity and remote control.

The light is very cold white and appears to lack in reds/pinks, but the fish looked good under them.

Only issue is the shimmer drove both me and the fish nuts instantly - couldn't live with it at all and the Discus just huddled together in the darkest corner until I turned them off.

Oh well, a good recommendation and I'd happily recommend them to others, but the shimmer is very intense and the colour very cold.

Yeah, you’ll always get shimmer with high powered single point source like spot lights. I love it which is why I run kessils 😁

The discus really didn't approve.
