Light hanging suggestions

[Classklown90]

Went with johns idea for suspension but found a set of 4 on ebay because I need 3.
As far as mounting, I spent a good hour in home depot and came up with a simple and clean idea. Ill post pics up of everything when its all done.


Thanks everyone

I do hope hanging your fixture goes well. My wife put the kibosh on having wire hanging from the ceiling. Instead I'm going to attemp to build the box then mount them to the leg mounts for my Tek light. To see how that goes.

I dont have one of those wifes you speak of but I do live at home for another year so it has to look fairly clean. Ill keep you guys updated

I know this is a little late but this is how I did mine

Just cheap electrical conduit no visible wires

I this sort of what you are thinking?

If you build a frame of 2x4s then put the ply on that you could crown around it and it will look really nice. Just a thought

Well here was my solution Kyle. Box is solid oak to match the stand.

The tank mounts from my Tek light were bolted to it. That will allow me to be able to raise and lower the fixture from about 11" off water to about 5" off water. Though I don't anticipate going that low.

Inside I put rails that the fixture will sit on.

All in all I think it came out pretty good.
Cost minus the legs which I had was around $50.

Thx. My skills are bit quite at you level. But it'll pass. I really gotta figure out that pocket hole thing.

Thx Kyle.
