The Villan Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Just watched a video and noticed that when using ratchet ropes to hang lights etc, they had the ratchet device hooked onto the light fitting, I have beenusing mine with the ratchet at the top ceiling hook. Will try it out tonight, could save a lot of hassle trying to reach over to the back ratchets, I have two lights and sometimes its a squeeze to get to the ratchet when its at the back of the room and at the ceiling hook.

Dan t Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I use mine at the lights. Only small issue is the excess rope needs to be tied up out the way. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Villan Posted September 30, 2022 Author Share Posted September 30, 2022 Yes Dan, makes a lot of sense, having the ratchet where I have them at the moment means I have to take the weight of the light in one hand and then try to use the ratchet. Havin it the other way round means I lift the light with the rope all in one go Cheers Vill 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works brilliant for my setup to be fair. I donot utilise the full room that I grow in either so that helps with keeping all my vitals pretty stable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan t Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) I loop the tail end of the excess rope back through the clip, then tie it on to its self. Keeps it out the way and knot slides up or down when you adjust height. I'll slide the one in the pick down to tidy it up.

BushDoctoR Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I have the strings go up from the shade then thread through a couple of eyes at the top of the space and over the the ratchets close to the door. I can adjust up and down without having to lean in and also don't lose headroom because if the ratchets This is the only uploaded pic I could find. This is on the fans but I have it set up the same 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
