Cheap Reliable Light Hangers

[Dutchy018]

Hey guys, I'm looking for cheap adjustable light hangers that are reliable with metal gears. It's only for a 20LB LED panel, however I'm skeptical of these Chinese knockoffs and if they will fail and send my lights crashing down lol.. so anyone know of good hangers that will cost around $10-15 for x4 (2 sets)? Thanks

There's always the trusty tie down straps(not the ratchet kind) from home depot, they sell a 4 pack for a good price. I never have trusted yo-yo's either.

nah same as, those Yo Yo's are terrible, rope ratchets are better bu the best imo are chains with Karabiners

Usually, I hang two hoods on a 6' pipe, 2 tie down straps adjust up/down. Just something i came up with yrs ago. Have NEVER had a failure. Rope ratchets, i used yrs ago to though.

OP, look up Apollo rope ratchet on amazon. I bought a couple of pairs a while ago and it has metal gears.

I have a 80w CFL fixture with an aluminum roasting pan suspended with an old cellphone earphone cable I suspend all the large 4' tube fixtures with 1/8 steel wire that is used to tie the steel rod in concrete forms. A roll lasts forever and is really cheap. For the cast aluminum High focus 1kw bonnet I use a good dog chain but it also gets the 1/8 steel catch cables. The bucket res's mounted on the ceiling get dog chain and steel catch cables. The 1000w magnetic ballast gets dog chain and catch cable. 3' drywall screws, 3 1/4" spiral framing spikes, and a few heavy hooks.

One thing I didn't mention. You also need structure and support.

I'm still sticking with the adjustable tie down straps, for smaller setups. Cheap and reliable, just what the OP asked
