	     I have my lights on chains and S-hooks to adjust.  
	It keeps them close and I can arrange the seedlings tallest 
	to shortest and tilt the fixtures to keep the light supply
	equitable to all.  Looks kind of strange, but the peppers
	don't seem to mind.
	      Also, most inexpensive flourescent fixtures have 
	inadequate (if even existent) reflectors.  I built some and
	added them to my fixtures to harness every last lumen.
