Lightrails - The next big thing in lighting?

[Shrimpy]

You can read about it here http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Product/Prod_Display.cfm?pcatid=13974&N=2004+113356
It is basically a motorized rail system that will move your lights above your tank to simulate the movement of the sun and get rid of shaded spots.  Not a bad price either.

They are also available here too. http://www.hiddenreef.ca/storefront/storefront.php?function=viewproduct&productid=475&categoryid=35

Interesting!
But would not pay $300 for one motor unit and few metal rails....

Pretty useless if you ask me.. if you have plants and rocks the fish have shaded areas and they lighted areas too so they'll find whatever suits them at that exact moment

that's true for fish, but corals are sort of stuck with the lighting being the same all the time.

How will middle brace will impact on the lighting when the lamp will move over it?
