"Motorized Light Rail System
Double Ended 400 watt HQI Metal Halide lighting fixtures fired from electronic ballasts drive back & forth along an aluminum track to provide even light distribution to all corals regardless of their placement inside of each raceway, as well as to prevent hot spots"

From IceCap:
If anyone has the chance to go to Drs.F&S 2007 Coral Conference and Frag Swap, try to on the tour they offer of their Aquaculture Coral Facility. All the MH Pendants in use are the same adjustable IceCap 250/400-watt DE MH Pendants they also sell.

I was at the first swap they had and found their operations incredible. We are very proud that our pendants, ballasts and bulbs were selected by LiveAquaria.
