The lumens produced by a grow light will decrease the greater the distance from the bulb. To avoid plant killing heat associated with stationary grow lights, the bulb must be kept at a greater distance from the plants. For example, your plants end up getting far less lumens than you are actually paying for. By moving your light, you may run a tighter plant to lamp tolerance (using more of what you are paying for) without generating plant killing heat. Again, this translates into lower operating cost through high yields.
Moving your light from one end of your garden and back will give your garden light at a much greater variety of angles. This allows more light to reach the foliage at the bottom of the plant, which is normally shaded by the foliage at the top of the plant. As a greater portion of the plant takes part in the process of photosynthesis, lower operating costs result from greater yields.
By moving the light(s) over an aquarium you will more closely reproduce natural light. The moving light will simulate sun and shade and produce healthier corals and invertebrates. And growth will be more even.

Sun Lift Reflector Suspension System

Sun Lift® is a reflector suspension system which allows you to adjust the height of a hood in one simple movement. The tension mechanism will keep the hood in place once it is set at the desired
height. The support strings pull out and retract like a yo-yo. Finally a simple way to raise a hood as plants grow!

Features a Japanese made stainless steel, heavy duty spring. Don’t be fooled by cheap knock-offs. They are simply not as strong or reliable as the original Sun Lift® brand.

A pair can support up to 22 lbs!
