Well today my new luminaire lighting system turned up from germany, only ordered it saturday, 8x39watt.



Each one of these four switches turns on 2 bulbs, each mains plug powers 4 bulbs, very bright when all on, a tight fitting piece of perspex slides in to cover the bulbs from any water.



All i got to do now is fit it in this alcove some how, don't think the plaster will take the weight, its quite heavy, so i am thinking of making a frame that slips over the tank and suspending the luminaire from that? rough sketch to give you an idea?
