![]() So i've got 3 very heavy DIY LED pendants (about 40 to 50 pounds each) that I need to hang from the ceiling of my fish room. I want the 3 pendants to hang on a track that will allow me to slide the lights right or left so I can basically make room for my body to get in between any two pendants to work on the tank. I'm just not sure where to start looking for such a product because of the weight I'm looking at supporting plus the rust factor involved with a saltwater tank. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

![]() hey look up sliding barn door hardware. you could have one track on the celling and just roll the lights to the side.

![]() Thanks guys. Garage door tracks seemed to be the consensus with other people I asked around town too. I just didn't think that would be rust resistant enough right above salt water.
There is room to drill into the pendants so I can run a wire through the top to the bottom of the pendant and use a stopper of some kind to stop it from sliding back through. I'm open to other suggestions here too though.

![]() I asked a few places about this and they said those wouldn't work with 150 lbs of metal hanging from them.

![]() I vote the bipass hardware way nicer then garage door track (which I don't think would work as it needs two tracks to work ) http://www.johnsonhardware.com/sdindex.htm I use the top ones when I do sliding doors in the houses I finish
