5 Foot T5 Lighting

Does anyone know of a 5 foot T5 fixture that use 2 bulbs, and has legs on the ends for support?

I'm thinking of supplementing my LEDs as I have in the past, but unfortunately don't have the ability to hang anything above the tank. I've done retrofit in the past but without a canopy, it just looks plain ugly.

Looking for any suggestions! I will add, my tank is 59 inches long.

Although I have no answers for you with respect to a 2 bulb 80w T5 fixture with legs, I’m a big fan of CadLights lamp tree. Easy to install and has a 75# weight capacity. I use these to hang my ATI Sunpower & Reefbrite strip over my tank.

I've looked at a couple of these but would be nearly impossible to install on my tank, just not enough space to do it now.
