I am looking for some help coming up with a solution for hanging my lights. I will be hanging 8 Radions over my tank. I have the hanging kits for them and will be hanging them over an 8' X 3' tank. I do not have the option to hang them from the ceiling due to the height of the ceiling and items already in the ceiling above the tank.
In order to span the distance above the tank I need to cover about 9'. My current plan is to possibly use 2 galvanized pipes mounted to the walls to hang the lights from (on cables). The Radions themselves are not very heavy and I think the steel pipes would easily hold the lights but would they rust over time?
What I am looking for is a way to have the lights raise up when I need to work on the tank. Ideally I would like the lights to raise electronically so all I have to do is flip a switch and they will move up out of the way.
Does anyone know how this can be done? Or any better ideas on how to mount the lights?
