wire for hanging lights?
 
Hi guys,

Do you know what wire I can purchase to hang my lights? I don't need a full hanging kit as I bought a pair of aquatic life arm fixtures, but i need some wires to hang my AI SOL to it.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Aircraft cable. Home Depot carries it in various sizes.

Home Depot, Canadian Tire, or similar stores always have a section with aircraft cable and accessories. You can create everything yourself with minimal tools and effort. They make several sizes of cable and many different ends, clips, connectors, etc. This stuff is also VERY strong.

Maybe something like this ?
It doesn't look like it's braided

FYI that aircraft cable is galvanized
It will last quite awile, but not as long as stainless

Yeah I saw that after (no edit:twised:) they have stainless in bulk at most places as well

What, you can't edit ? :lol:

Don't talk about it!!:ban:

thanks guys! i will check out home depot and see what they have. Hopefully there is an accessory or some sort of loop that can fit under the head of the standard bolts on the SOL.
