did the wire slip out of the little clamp? you can replace the wire with a gear cable from a bike for $2.50 if its wrecked but mabey you just didnt have the screw tight enough to hold the wire in place.

Found the camera,..

ok. the little nipple thing that you would press in to lower the light

Here is a shot of the good side.











Here is the broken side.
The threads on this piece split. i could actually take the light down again and take a picture of whats left.
But im not removing it until new hanging kit arrives.

so was it the cable that frayed or was it a problem with the chrome thing that holds the cable?
