how to raise/lower lights?

jpeters · 10-29-2007, 12:35 PM

Hi,

Sorry if this has been discussed - can't find it anywhere. I have an Aqualife Pro lighting system (2 x 250w metal halide, 2 x 10,000 actinic + some lunar lights) on mounted legs, and would much prefer to suspend it if there were a way to ratchet it up and down as needed -- the guys at the store I bought it said they thought there was something out there but I can't find it anywhere.

I do have the suspension kit for this light, but it would have to be fixed at only one height. I have no way now to raise or lower these lights.

Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Jon

Maybe this kit from Solaris will help

That is what my Outer Orbit came with and it works great! Just pull down on the cable and the light lifts up. Hit the release, while hanging on to the light, and it lowers.

If you really want to spend some money though, there are motorized devices you can buy, such as is used with Audio/Video home theater equipment.
