i have 4 for my veg area. It comes with hangers included though they are very veryshort. How do I build something to raise and lower the lights as plants grow?
So far, thinking of getting a big piece of wood, square, then screwing in 4 s hooks, hanging the 4 lights from these hooks. Then making 4 holes in corners and buying a ratchet pulley similar to one I use with the hlg 550 and pulling up and down.
But Since the driver just sits on the hlg 65 without mounting it secure, hoping they don’t slide off and fall off while light is raised up and down. This is the only reason I don’t like this idea. I need more of a single ratchet on each.
Or since each one of those ratchet pulleys have 4 clips on it, I can buy one and attach each light to each clip.
Or I mount each light hanging with the included hangers to a square piece of wood. I would also screw the driver in to the piece of wood to secure it. Then I would attach this piece of wood to a rather (either 1 or 4) and move it up and down freely.
The only thing is that I’m not too sure if the driver cable is long enough to be mounted separately.
I think I will just settle for buying regular ratchets for each or hopefully be able to hang one on each clip from one ratchet.
