Motorized Light Lifter

[awais98]

Been wanting to get a motorized light lifter for 2 of my ATI 8x54W sunpower fixtures over my 8' 240G.

Found the 'Sky in the reef's Video on youtube.
Seems like he used a tubular motor.
But what exact parts, Im not sure.
Has anyone done this? Can someone list the parts that are needed.
Thank you. Here is the video of the original guy who did it.

If I recall correctly @revhtree was looking into something like this.

There are lots of potential solutions, including a pulley and counterweight system (which I remember @Paul B recommending), as well as powered actuators. Try hitting the site search (or the goog) with that last term.
