ceiling light rail

[livloyalist]

Hi,

looking to buy 2 rail track to be fixed on ceiling so i can have 4 cables down to hold onto 4 corners of a rectangular aluminium rack containing MH and t5 lightset.

i do not have cabinet or hood, so only way is to hang from ceiling. such rail track will allow me to shift the light to the top of my tank and away from tank when doing maintenance.

have been trying to check internet but couldnt find one. greatly appreciate anyone who can advise where to find or who to call.

Thanks again.

What you need is the sliding track and hanging kit. Let me know how long the track that you need and what you be hanging?

[livloyalist]

yes, look like it. track shld be around 6 to 8ft i guess. the length flexible so long as cost effective, i.e., if there is standrad length for 1 track. what is the price with or without installation?

i m actually hanging your 2X de mh and 2X t5 on an aluminium rectangular rack without ballast. ballast outside.

thks.

the 2 mh is basically 2 X aluminium de reflactor and SE connector and T5. so its real light

can just buy the rail track, hanging kit and DIY too. ideally if the hanging kit can be a Y or inverted Y to tie both width ends of the rectangle frame. otherwise, just 4 hanging cables also can.

thks. any advice where to buy will be appreciated.
