I'm going to kill two questions with one post.
OMSI's Tech Lab has flexible power cords, but they only drop about 6
feet from the ceiling.  They are coiled black cable with a bungee cord
in the center that allows them to stretch about 12ft to the exhibits.
Our exhibit tables are on wheels and have pillars that extend up to
about 8 feet where they plug in.  We do use twist locking plugs to
secure them.  Overall a great system with lots of flexibility and not
unattractive.  Contact me off list if you'd like pictures of the space.

We also just started offering a forensics lab.  It's about an hour long,
can be adapted for high school or middle school groups, and has been
really successful.  Again, contact me off list if you'd like more info.
