Light Hangers

Hello everyone! I’m looking to create a light hanger similar to BRS’s light fixture without paying the $75. Ideas on how to go about this are appreciated!

BRS has a lot of stuff, can you provide a link or picture of what light or light hanger your wanting to duplicate?

Hey guys! Goodmorning. After digging kinda deep through some old threads, I ended up building this: http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2009-04/diy/index.php

We put some PVC from Home Depot across the top to hold the conduit in place, since they kept swinging. I was nervous the conduit wouldn’t hold the weight of the lights but so far, so good.

Thanks for the help!!

A link would be helpful as mentioned but what type of lights?

I used the ViparSpectra lights. The build uses conduit && hookeye screws so I simply hung the lights from there in the same fashion you would if you were hanging them from the ceiling.
