Lift Mechanism For Lights? (Specifically LEDs)

S

sharko88

I am having a custom TV cabinet/aquarium wall mounted unit built to house my new reef tank. This unit will be fixed to the wall and will have the TV on one side and a 110 RR on the other side. Cabinets will be below the aquarium and TV and the spaces about aquarium and TV will be open but have cabinet doors. The tank will be enclosed and I plan on hanging two AI Vegas over the tank in that section behind the cabinet doors.

I am currently planning on using the AI EXT rail kits to hang the two AI Vega units about 9-12" above the tank (have not yet purchased hanging kit or EXT rail system though). I want to make sure that I have plenty of access to clean the tank so I was wondering if anyone has installed a solution that would allow me to easily and quickly raise and lower the lights for when I am doing routine cleanings. The solution would have to be sturdy as I don't want to worry about the lights falling into the water.

Sun lift would probably work. it's strong enough to easily hold 2 Ai
 
Oops nevermind. they discontinued it at Marine Depot. try their main website.

Sent from inside the shark tank!
 
If you have spent the money for something custom, I'm sure you don't want to detract from that by rigging up the lighting portion.

I built a frame using 80/20 aluminum members, rope, pullies, a 1500# wench and an ac/dc converter for my system. Works great! [smilie=wink.gif]

That is one big girl! I guess she is the one that pulls the ropes? [smilie=rofl.gif]
