Hanging Lights without puting them in ceiling.

[walter]

Going to get a light set, but there are no studs over the tank. So I dont want to put them in the drywall and have it come through.

 

I was thinking about building a pvc hanger of sorts, but dont know if that will work.

 

Can anyone give suggestions on how to hang lights without being able to put them in the ceiling?

 

maybe something like this:

most fixtures are light enough to be hung from the ceiling with achor bolts...I have a giesemann fixture 48" and approximately 30lbs hung over my tank with no problems just as long as the weight is distributed evenly..
