lighting

Has anyone got a good setup for hanging lights that raise/lower? I am thinking of hanging a set of radions above my tank and through a couple pulleys and a winch/hoist like this behind the tank, setting up a system to raise/lower them with a push of a button incase I need to move them out of...

Hello everyone! Already in my last thread with my montis i mentioned of thinking about upgrading my lights. Now after my holidays, during which our fuse tripped twice at home, after coming back i noticed one of my hydras went out, it seems to be the power supply that failed. I will go to my...
