Default motorized lighting lift system

I have 3 led light fixtures hung by cables and would like to put in an electronic system with a up/down switch to raise the fixtures to gain access instead of doing it manually.

I have done some research and have figured a need a motor that is able to pull the fixtures cables up/down, a switch to operate the motor and some sort of way to configure the switch to know when to stop at the desired up/down location. I have seen some people who have used actuators to lift their canopies, but because of the limited space I need something that can pull the cables.

I have no problem connecting a pulley system to the cables but do not know where to buy a motor for this or how to connect and operate it to a switch and program it?

Anyone have any info?

If anyone is mechanically inclined for this and local to me I would willing to compensate for installation help.

Thanks,
