Suspension kits to hang lighting

[frrok]

Are there any general suspension systems that you can buy to hang a light over a tank? I am thinking of getting an Aquaray mini led 400 and suspending it over a mini-m. its a square light and does not come with and type of mounting system. you have to buy it extra and its ugly. You can buy the wire set up for this, TMC sells it, but you would have to attach it to the ceiling.
I want to do something like this..


I know I can go DIY and I've done some research and found some threads that detail how to do it....but I'm not very handy and if I can buy it all set up already , I'd rather do that.

let me know....

Google is a thing.

I will note that you can probably make something better for about 10 bucks with a pipe bender. Might even be able to find a ship that will bend some conduit to your specifications for way cheaper then $50 bucks, then just screw it to your stand.

Here's another option:

½" conduit + 90° bend

DIY is the way to go, ESP if money is an issue (such as myself)

Local hardware store is heaven for DIY project. Stroll around and gather up ideas.

I'm sure you'll be able to find/build something that will look way better then most product that you can buy.

Good luck man!!

All the way from Hawaii.

you could use flexible conduit then you wouldnt need tools to bend it but it wont have that smooth pipe look.

Don't complain about money. Your extra costs from importing, etc. are basically sunshine tax. I hate you so much.

[808Hawaii]

Why do you hate me?

[samamorgan]

Because it would be nice to have perpetual nice weather. It's cloudy here almost 300 days out of the year, raining for half of that. And mostly very cold rain. I ride a motorcycle all four seasons. Hawaii would be heaven. You have no right to complain about anything when you live in a tropical paradise!

[808Hawaii]

LoL I thought it was something else. I was like "what I do?"

Wanna swap? Hawaii is to small. The island is getting a bit boring. Plus shipping is a pain in the wallet!!!

[audioaficionado]

I bet the big island isn't too small and boring. I once rented a car in Honolulu, HI and started up the center road/highway through the pineapple fields. I turned right once I got to the North shore. And kept turning right and right and right and was back in Honolulu after only 45 minutes LOL.

[808Hawaii]

Haha yeah Oahu is small. Everyone knows everyone, or related lol
