That is what I was thinking of as well but not an 'L' shaped notch just a straight slot at a bit of an angle. If I made it out or 1 1/2" x 1/4" flat bar it would last longer then the light.

Hey guys, sorry I added the hanging kit as an option without actually explaining it properly. A hanging kit will work with these brackets as well if you want to use one of those. See picture below. Butterfly insert from the hanging kit goes inside the mount. The hanging kit is sold separately however. The one pictured here goes for $44.95 its a pretty good one http://www.modularled.ca/ai-hanging-kit/

If using a hanging kit is better to have 2 arms supporting the light to keep it steady. 2 arms plus one hanging kit is what you would need.

You can also send a diagram as I see you have done for the more solid mounting.

I've done a mockup with measurements:

the three small holes are 1/4" in diameter and the larger hole for the slit is 1/2" in diameter as per the holes on my light fixture.

The part circled in red measures to be 1/8" thick, do you think there will be any problems holding up the lights with it being that thin?

Thanks,

Hi Kryos, there should not be a problem with that. The 1/8 will be fine as that is not really a stress point in it and it is really sturdy steel anyways. Just quote this thread with your order and I will make sure to pass the graphic on.
