Bill, what's that ball like thing?

epicfish · 12-10-2006, 08:47 AM

The hanging cord is wound inside the ball, I believe. Lets you adjust the lights up and down.

It's a Sunlift hanger. Like epicfish said, it's a small reel of cord that allows you to adjust the height of the fixture. It automatically locks at 1" incremements or so while you lift the fixture up. To lower it you need to loosen a wing nut which releases the cable lock.

I'm in aw, not even my whole house have anything that bright. After looking at some much high kelvin lights, the house lights looks so yellow.

lol. Your house lights range from 2700K to 6500K or 6700K, which is sunlight....there's no real need for bright-white light in your house anyways. I actually get headaches while trying to read or study with bright fluorescent lights overhead....but not when they're over my tank, LOL.
