I've currently trying to attach my fluorescent tube to my tortoise table. From my understanding it's recommended the tube should be around 30 cms off the floor of the tortoise table. I'm having trouble in finding a way on how to do this. I was planning on attaching hooks to the piece of wood running across the table, and then attaching some chain links that will hold the fluorescent tube and tube reflector above the ground. The fluorescent reflector is smooth and doesn't come with anything that will allow me to attach to the chain links. I'm using an Arcadia ACU30 controller to power the light, could I possibility just use the cabling support the tube over the table or would it put too much strain on the cabling and fluorescent tube? If anyone could recommend anything or give me an example of another setup it will be greatly appreciated.

Mine is mounted on closet rod mounts. The mounts are screwed into the sides of the enclosure, then a dowell is run through the wires at the top of the light and set into the rod mounts.

I love those rod kits!
I've used them in my night sleeping houses for my CHEs.
Great, easy way to hang a light.
