I am in the process of wiring my MH and VHO lighting into my new canopy and have a question for those who have run into this already. As you know, with a canopy that is hinged and the whole unit can be opened from the top (hinged on the back) with the lighting mounted onto this top piece, there is always concern about the icecap solid wiring and MH wiring getting either kinked, broken, or when closing get dumped into the water after you have used up any slack from opening the lid.

Any ideas how to make the slack wire that you need there when you open the canopy to be manageable? Any means to hook it up to some sort of retractable connecting device so that when the hood is open, it pulls on some wire in this device and when the hood closes, the wire retracts back in?

Am I making sense?

Any thoughts?

Dunno but if you use wire ,cable ties on all wires(ballast to light bulbs) its easily pulled and pushes back as on unit from ballast to ballast. So manual maybe an option if theres no other
