Ah okay, so there are eye screws provided so that you can string your own wires or yarn to hang them.

It's only money. You can't take it with you when you're dead.

The fixtures themselves are extremely light, and i went a little over board with the 1/16" wire. I was going to use some existing hanging kits I had, but it meant cutting them and re-crimping them and I couldn't find any wire crimps small enough which led me to the 1/16.

I would have loved to use the existing hanging kits I had just for the simple pleasure of easy height adjustments.
