I am in the process of designing a floating canopy to house T5's and Kessil A360we's and have been searching for these parts to assist in the suspension of it. Thank you!

HAHAHA ... no problem , i knew someone out there would need something like this. When i did my floating canopy, i went bananas looking for these hardware.

Do you have a thread or photos of floating canopy? I would love to see it. I am really in the design phase and believe that I have it set. Installing 6 x 54w and the Kessil's and a set of moonlights. Hopefully, leaving enough room to hide all of the cords and ballasts in the top of the canopy along with a multi plug outlet. This way I can cord wrap one power cord, one control cable to the Apex for the Kessil's and a control cable to the Apex for my AFS. I am leaving a spot for it in the canopy as well. No more sitting on the rim of display!

reefknight , i do not have a build thread - took down my canopy about a year ago. I went back to MH lighting .

i also used these to secure the cable and other annoying wires etc .. purchased from lowes

These and zip ties are a mainstay for me, lol. I'm going to use expandable braided nylon sleeveing as a cord wrap. This way only one cord bundle will be visible and it will be masked.

When you had the floating canopy, how many guide wires did you use? I'd like to be able to only use two 1/16" like my ATI fixture has.

 

[FMF0331]

I had 4 guide wires . One on each corner, I was a bit nervous when i started the project. I think you'll be able to get away with it using the same design as the ATI fixture.
