Show Me Your AI Sol Hanging Hardware!

Thanks guys, but please stop hijacking my thread. If you wanna discuss tanks please post elswhere. Could someone explain how they attached the cable to the AI with pics? I'm still confused as to how.

 

Cool idea, but I don't wanna put a canopy on a rimlesd

 

That's really cool. What is going into the ceiling? A molly bolt?

 

There are still ways to apply this idea... I'm building a wood trim square with two support braces at the thirds. Using AZ's method, i can mount two t-tracks to the two middle supports, then the third to that and have an open top/bottom but you will see a nice wood trim instead of wires/lights and would allow me to adjust left/right, up/down, and front/back. All while maintaining your rimless look!

No idea how to draw it on a computer though..

 

I see what you mean, like in the second vid link in the OP?

 

Very similar, only I plan to hang it.. You can use the two support braces to hold the wires because that's all the weight... with 4 lights, wood and wiring the whole system should weigh about 35lbs or less... I'm actually looking into using a small motor to raise/lower the fixture (haven't fully figured this part out yet though...)

It would give you a clean look and a TON of flexibility for light placement and it wouldn't build up heat.

 

Yep, molly bolt. One eye for two wires to allow for adjustments back and forth.

On another note, I apologize pan and have no intention of hijacking your thread. If you look at the post after the pics I try to explain that the AI unit has a pair of screws, on on each end, that screw into the housing on the AI unit. If you loosen either a bit, each gives a perfect anchor site for wires. When you look at the unit it becomes easy to see, there are essentially two screw-heads you can anchor wire to.

 

This will be a secure hanging point? Thanks for clatyfying and the help, I didn't understand the screw part the first time. I wasn't thinking of you hijacking, and thanks for the help!

 

Yep, it is a secure hanging point. These two screws are actually the screws that are meant to attach the units to the track on the standard hanging kit, so they're actually there for the purpose of securely hanging the light. The only consideration is to make sure your hanging wire is sufficiently thin to loop and fit comfortably behind the screw.

 

Gold ole' molly bolt. That is what I used too. Looks great guys!
