What cables do you use for raising and lowering your light… I’m assuming those must be bought separately,especially when using hlg diy
You can buy the ratchet type hang from top support bars. (Ebay)
I bought a 6 pack of Viparspectra light hangers, and they’re fine. I haven’t tested their failure mode, but they’re inexpensive and available on Amazon.
I also have a swaging setup, which isn’t a bad investment if you’re hanging rooms.
On ratchet style…
Yeah I figured it was going to be those as I thought I spied them in some pics, just wondered if there were other options that work better
If not then I will get some of those.
I’ll look into those @KeystoneCops
I’ve bought dozens of different brand ratchet style light hangers from Amazon. They’re all about the same quality. They’ve all been in use for years with zero issues.
Those vivosun ones were one I specifically was wondering about. You like those better than ratchet (which seem like they’d be kinda clunky to me but I know nothing)
I can get the ratchet style practically anywhere so I’ll try those first. They even have them at Dollar General which I service for my job every day
If I hate them I can always try the other options and ratchet tie downs are nice to have around for other stuff if I change course
Thanks everyone and any other suggestions are more than welcome
I purchased the 12 pack or more. I use these for all kinds of purposes for the tent. Holds plants up, lights, fans, and various other pieces of equipment like thermometers.
Is that of the ratchets?
Yes the rope ratchets, like Cannabian posted a picture of. I did purchase no name ones, work just fine.
Lol the buy list just keeps growing, this is not a cheap hobby but in my mind I’m all in. Now if the dam IRS would just give me my money
Thank you covert lol. Same morning I’m having lol

Ima put together a list of all the stuff I need soon and that’s something that I’d not been thinking about until now.
I’ll probably get that multi-pack too as I’m betting that the extras will come in handy for ventilation and what not
Thanks for the advice everyone
Not really the cheapest hobby out there lol but main thing is light my budget was blown over on just light
Just dont get the ipower ones thwy are cheap. They work but there a pain in the butt to hang stuff yourself.
Lol What light did you get? I know what I can afford but I also know what I want and I’m tempted to just live beyond my means and get the hlg 600 instead of the 260. Thinking ahead as I’m sure ima really like doing this “hobby”
You guys get me so pumped up with the pics and conversations that I feel like this is the passion that I’ve been looking for as I’m kinda stale on my normal passion guitar and singing
I had a hlg 550r before they went to 600 an my better half tried hps now only by a very good friend I’m running a black dog 1000
Black Dog
Every time I see that brand I get Led Zeppelin stuck in my head for at least an hour… thanks for that lol
The Hlg 600 comes with two ratchet hangers, 4 wires and 2 big carabiners. If you use 4 ratchet hangers and ditch the wires you can get the light higher if need be.
Every inch counts
