Default New extra indoor space for tall Orchids

My winter indoor space for my orchids is presently a 5 X 3 area lighted with two 400 watt HID's, (one MH & one HPS). I can lower them (lights), but can't raise them anymore. When I bring my orchids in from their summer outdoors, I have some that are taller than I can fit under the lights safely. I used these plastic "terra Latch" pot clips to mount my taller pots on the outside edge of my indoor table. That gives me a bit more height between the top of the plant and the lights. The pictures will give you a better idea of how this works. The one illustrated is the first one I did on this table. I am making a larger table and will use this method on it as well. You can also mount supports hortizontally between the table legs at any height you wish. These will give me more space for more orchids too! I'm hoping these pictures work OK.
