I use that heavy white cord that you see people scog with, I had yoyos but one busted. I like the light hung with 2 cords or chains holding each side, don't want it to fell on plants. you could like dog chain gage to use. If you use hooks or eye bolt make sure you put them into wood...rw

eye hooks into the wood frame and hang it with bungee cords to keep the noise down.
thanks bro! what else do i need to attach the chain to the eyehooks, and to attach the chain to the reflector?

i was thinkin of using a chain cuz my growroom is in the garage so noise isnt much of a prob hehe

Just walk down to the freakin hardware store & pick up some of the decorative chain. Its on rolls, they sell it by the foot.

I have tried out the yoyo's and yes, they suck. If you want something stupid easy I would suggest the light hangers. They are pretty much the same thing blinds are hung on, and they make raising or lowering your light take a few seconds at most. I got mine for $20 and they hold a LOT of weight! I used them on an oldschool (heavy) sun system reflector, that I mounted a heavy 250W ballast kit onto and it worked great!
