Need some guidance. Hanging 3 lights

[Denisk]

Hey Everyone,

So I’m looking for some ideas as to how to hang my lights over the canopy. Originally I was just going to let it sit on top of the canopy but with all the lights and the possibility of adding t5’s it’ll just be too heavy for my comfort level.

I have studs running along the canopy so one stud lines up with each corner of the canopy.

My question is what kind of wire can hold the lights? The lights came with these wire lights but I don’t know if two can hold all three attached to the board. I have no idea what they’re rated for. My other option is to hang them using chains from homedepot in each corner so 4 chains.

I added a few photos so you can see what I’m trying to hang and it’s probably around 30 pounds.

The aircraft style cable they came with is pretty strong. They sell it in a larger diameter at home Depot.
In personally don't like chains and tend to use cable.

How would I know what they’re rated for? I just want to make sure nothing snaps haha

Not sure I would take a 5 gallon bucket full of water and hold it up by what you have. If it holds, you're good.

I tend to over build things.
