Par 38 lamp clamp??

I ordered a 12 LED Par 38 bulb from rapid LED on Monday and I'm still not sure what to mount it with. What do you guys use/suggest?

I have experience with these and let me tell you that they are HEAVY! You can't use a lamp with a flexible neck because it will just droop down and wind up in the water. Looking at your other threads, you have a 10 gallon tank. For a 20"x10" tank, you need to use two of these lights. You could probably get by with a two-light like this:

Yea well for now I am only going with a single bulb so I am looking for a single bulb fixture. I will mostlikely upgrade my lighting in the future

I would use a small track lighting setup. I have a 48 inch track light setup with 6 rapidled par38 over my 90. Love it.
