Wire hanging kits?

[mistergreen]

Is there anywhere local I can find something as cool as this?

None of the hardware stores carry them nor even the bobby stores.

Depending upon the weight of your fixture, the hooks/clasps you can pick up in the jewelry section of Michael's could work well. They look a lot like the hooks in the first kit.

Whoops, forgot to add: I was in one of the more marine-centric fish shops in the Cincinnati area a couple weeks ago and saw several Coralife wire hanging kits for about $15. They may be worth considering if you can find them cheap enough.

oh, ok. thanks.

This journal has a good look at what could work for you.

Your local electrical supply warehouse/wholesaler will have similar items. They are used for suspending fluorescent light fixtures. If you go during non peak hours, they will help you out and generally sell retail.

Found this one but no wholesaler info from them.

It might be easier just to buy from rapid led.

^^^ good options.


There are a few lighting stores around here. I'll give them a call.

The griplock systems are really well made. They supply directly to various light manufacturers like Columbia Lighting, so if you hunt for a Columbia distributor, you'll probably find they carry them (i.e. Columbia has their own part numbers for each griplock assembly).

Thanks for the tip. I'll be calling some electrical stores that are distributors of columbia.

I was at Home Depot last night and saw a bunch of different wire rope/grip/clamp options for super-cheap. Found them near the aluminum c-channel and not near the chains and such where one typically finds that thing.

May want to check them out. I didn't snap a pic but remember being impressed with the selection.

[mistergreen]

Yeah I saw them. They're made for bigger gauge wires.

Here is an assortment of hangers that might do what you need. I like the YoYo hangers. You can also find them on e-bay at about the same price but free shipping.

Good luck!
