    Hanging lights question

    Ok so I currently have AP T8s and put a divider in to house two balls. One side has the fluorescent light that comes with the cage. I am trying to hang some lights to the other cages instead of getting a fluorescent light.
    This is what I bought
    http://www.lowes.com/pd_406089-1390-...tegrated%20LED

    They are just small puck LED lights that produce no heat.

    So here's my question. I don't want to screw these in and have screws coming out of the top of the cage. What are come good ways to keep these lights on top of the cage without having to use tape? Will a type of glue work?

    Thanks

    How thick is the top of the cage? Just get shorter screws?

    Yup, shorter screws is the way to go.

    Yep, agreed, or use a spacer/washer with the screws you have if you have those at home, if that doesn't work, they make some pretty small screws and you can get them at the same place you just bought the lights. So go get em!

    Boom! Problemo solved!!

    Double-sided tape might work.

    The AP cage material is generally close to 1/2" thick, it should be easy to get short enough screws at any hardware store.
    Where are we going, and why am I in this handbasket?

    Never argue with idiots. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with their experience.
    Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.
