SRC Member angmoh Posted October 28, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted October 28, 2013 u just have to ensure that the railing can hold the weight of the lightset. some lightset can be pretty heavy. do check on the cable length also (between the lightset and ballast/driver) to see if the length is sufficient when the tracks are stretched out to the max.

SRC Member angmoh Posted October 28, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted October 28, 2013 but what's the purpose to have the sliding track ? i'd love to have the feature to adjust the height rather than sliding in/out. Quote >> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noted with your comment. I change water from top of tank and sliding make easy for me plus my itchy hand like to do scaping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member angmoh Posted October 28, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted October 28, 2013 i'd raise the light higher than sliding in. i raise my light 40cm above the water and have enough clearance to do the maintenance. Quote >> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Land2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 I had thought of that too. I had play around the hanging kit and i need to press the set screw and lift 1 side at a time. Thought of sliding cause just slide once and im ready to go. Lazy people mah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member kenyee Posted October 28, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted October 28, 2013 Good idea of sliding..any end project photos? Quote @ 291213 Updated video: Kenyee FOWLR http://m.youtube.com/my_videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Land2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 Still material preparation and most likely will stretch until coming holiday as dont want to create inconvience to neighbor during weekday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jameshong Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 What is the max length when stretched? IMHO, one arm with another sliding arm extended may not able to support the weight of the light.

Kayakkite Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Hi bro. Note of the cantilever effect. Teck Cheong do sell the angle bracket for profile. The last thing you want to see is the lighting becoming submarine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO, one arm with another sliding arm extended may not able to support the weight of the light. Please take note. The arm will stretch 150mm and there will be 2 arm and the led light weight is not more than 2kg. No idea whether will it hold but will test before mount it to cabinet. Worst case add a extended support to the right angle of the 2 arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last thing you want to see is the lighting becoming submarine. Is this angle bracket mention? I brought numbers of it however it seem to be small. I intend to make using the aluminium bar with longer length and drill hole to screw it on the arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayakkite Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Get the 80x80 right angle bracket size for the angle support. A bigger web. It's better than the 40x40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayakkite Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Use the 80x80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayakkite Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Get the tee screw with nuts. They come in a set. All can get from Teck Cheong. happy profiling... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Land2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 Yup that bracket will work but too bad i buy the 20x20 bar. Likely i had to make the bracket myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Land2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 Less than $120. The 2 length of the alu bar is abt 50% of the total cost. Plan wisely for the accessories if you into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
