use to be a brick layer till i had a stroke.
building most things is just using common scence building a easy to ajust light holder using a shelf, threded rod,wingnuts and plant hooks. drilled holes for the threded rod then put it through the holes hang the light . just have to turn the wingnuts to ajust the hight on eighter side of the reflector till you get it where you want it. works great for a one handed person. might have to figer out how to motorise. cuz i am lazy. mostly when baked but that is when i come up with the best ideas on new projects. sorry no pics. no camera
the best part is that the shelf & the threded rod are both ajustable.the whole cabnet is on caster wheels so it is easly moved from room to room

Thanks dew-b, sorry about your stroke.

Makes me think when we say on the job "Man I wish we didn't have to do this shit anymore"

Nice one handed lamp adjuster, maybe you could start a company that makes growing products for disabled growers.
