Lamp Tree for Room Divider Tank

I just purchased an ATI Sunpower for my 20L, but the ceilings are too high and slanted to hang it. The tank is a room divider with one of the short sides against the wall, and extending 36" away from the wall. I could do a lamp tree, but even if it was attached to the stand, it would have to reach 30 inches out. Is electrical conduit strong enough to handle a 24" 4 bulb Sunpower? Is there another material that is better? Perhaps the square aluminum rod?

Something like the Gieseman wall brackets would be great, but they are too short. Does anyone know something similar that can be bolted to a stud on the wall? There are some TV mounts that extend far enough, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKVQxzuDr84 but there must be a simpler solution out there. Also I'm concerned about them corroding in a saltwater environment.

Thanks!
 
A picture of the setup could help us come up with some solutions.

That being said, why not buy some longer wires and hang it from the ceiling? Other than that it wouldn't bee too difficult to just do an arm off the wall to suspend the light from with its existing hanging hardware.
 
I just learned that you can rent ladders at Lowes/Home Depot...maybe I will just hang it from the ceiling!

I thought I'd have to spend $250 buying a ladder outright...:facepalm::lolspin:

I just found out you can rent ladders too (from this thread) :lolspin:
 
I used computer screen swivel/wall mount similar to what you linked to originally for my ATI fixture..
I'm very happy with it.. Worked great to move the light out of the way easily to work on it,etc...
Just needed to whip up a custom bracket but that wasn't a problem for me.. Of course I also have a ladder as well as various other tools already :p

Always good to have a lesser in the house, but Lowe's does accept returns.......
