Need Help Hanging Lighting

[Jaws]

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.

Depends on what the top of ur lights look like? How can you mount to your lights

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

I got my lights setup on one of these

Pretty easy to get the light out of the way

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.

That looks awesome except I only have about 20" of room above the tank to work with so I need to move the pendants left and right instead of up and down.

try some bypass door track and hardwear-much cleaner look

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
