Red Sea ReefLED 160S Hanging Kit — Universal Suspension Kit for G2 Range

The Red Sea ReefLED Hanging Kit (part R35185) suspends a ReefLED unit from the ceiling or a structure above the aquarium, for a clean open-top look with nothing on the tank rim. This is the hanging kit listed in Red Sea's 2026 catalog: the brand consolidated its former model-specific kits into a single part number.

Compatibility

This kit is the original ReefLED 160S hanging kit, so compatibility with that model is confirmed. Red Sea now lists this same part number for the whole ReefLED and ReefLED G2 range (60, 115, 170 as well as the older 50, 90 and 160S). Buying it for a model other than the 160S? Contact us before ordering and we will confirm compatibility for your light directly with Red Sea.

Official Suspension Heights

According to the official Red Sea manual, the distance between the bottom of the light and the water surface should be:

• ReefLED 50 / G2 60: 17 cm (6 3/4 in)
• ReefLED 90 / G2 115: 21 cm (8 1/2 in)
• ReefLED 160S / G2 170: 31 cm (12 1/4 in)

Cable suspension offers a wider height range than a wall-mounted arm, which is handy for coral acclimation or deep tanks.

What's in the Box

Red Sea does not publish a detailed contents list for this kit on its official pages. If you see a parts list elsewhere, it does not come from the manufacturer. Need a specific detail before you buy? Contact us and we will check for you.

Note: Light sold separately. One kit per ReefLED unit. Requires a solid anchor point in the ceiling or on a structure.

Hanging Kit or Mounting Arm?

The hanging kit keeps the tank rim completely clear and works when the rear wall cannot take a bracket. If you would rather not drill the ceiling, the 160S/170 universal mounting arm attaches directly to the rear wall of the tank. Still running a ReefLED 90? The dedicated ReefLED 90 suspension kit is available while supplies last. Complete your lighting with the Red Sea ReefLED G2, available in 60, 115 and 170 W. Shipping across Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this hanging kit compatible with the ReefLED G2 60, 115 and 170?

Red Sea lists this part number (R35185) for the whole ReefLED and G2 range in its 2026 catalog. Compatibility with the ReefLED 160S is the original one. For a G2 model, contact us before ordering: we will confirm with Red Sea that the unit in stock fits your light.

How high should I suspend my ReefLED?

The official manual states 17 cm for the ReefLED 50 / G2 60, 21 cm for the ReefLED 90 / G2 115 and 31 cm for the ReefLED 160S / G2 170, measured between the bottom of the light and the water surface.

What is the difference with the universal mounting arm?

The arm attaches to the rear wall of the tank (rimless aquariums only) while the hanging kit anchors to the ceiling or a structure without touching the aquarium, with a wider height adjustment range.
