Hey I need a way to get these 48" flourescent tubes to hang over the top colas of my buds. They are uvb tubes and absolutely necessary. I was tihnking of driving hooks into the ceiling 40" apart and hanging twine or metal wire to hold them up with loops at either end. any other ideas? I don't see why this wouldn't work. they are 40w flourescents so they probably get to be at least 200 F right?
help me hang my flourescent tubes (48")

im not very well versed in the art of tube lighting,
but as long as the wire can hold them and you set your distance just right, you've got no real problems that i can see

well here's what I did a few times...
grab like 2 2x4's or 2 2x3's and frame in a box 2 vertical boards this is where each side of your light will be mounted then 2 going the other way to hold it square.. then find the middle of your frame and get hooks one on each end then hooks in the ceiling of your grow room and buy some small chain at walmart (mad cheap) that way you can raise and lower it without any trouble... very efective.. I hope you understand what i'm saying here...
