Not so Low Bays, moreso 'HiLo Bays' :)

Finally i can get that darned LowBay MH lighting unit off the floor and above my tank.

After measuring up, and going into the loft, it was apparent that the hooks would penetrate the ceiling and only be suspended by plasterboard. I decided to pull back the insulation and add some more joists to support the weight.



With that all fine and dandy, it was time to hang 'em and switch them on. The lights come with a hanging kit, which is basically metal chains and hooks, which look bit unsightly, also not very functional if you want to do maintainance. Therefore i decided to get some 'HiLo' hanging basket belts. Basically they can be adjusted to any height, and lock into place with a seatbelt type lock (i.e. when you jerk it, it locks it into place), functional and more aesthetically pleasing.

Here are the results;-
