Ceiling wire mounts

[Munch]

Anyone know what these are called?

I know Ecotech has them in the wire kits, but they are too short for what I'm doing. I want a sharp looking ceiling mount, and don't know what these are technically called or where to get them.

The three pieces work together, screw one into the ceiling, screw second cap like piece on to finish, and then slip wire in with bumped edge.

I've actually got the cables, I really just need a nice finished piece that secures to my ceiling, that the wires hang from. I didn't want a silly pair of hooks up there...

This is the hanging kit for the AI LEDs. Kind of expensive but looks real nice. Also Check out the Youtube instructional video to get a better idea of how they look.

This is what I need, however, I need 10' lengths... All the OEM stuff is like 4-8'.

Wondering if I can use a better drywall anchor system (75 lbs) with this:

My two lights and hardware will be about 8 pounds.

Found some uber cool mounting hardware:

Yeah I measured mine and there are two pieces each a little over 8 feet. The wire only should be available t Lowes. You'd have to put the ends on yourself though. Did you check there?

 

[Munch]

Yup, lowes has wire, nothing to mount to the ceiling. I am trying the Ikea ones, I'll post up once mounted...

 

[Munch]

Loose fitting, but I think this will work fine!

Are those rails T tracks? Or just aluminum stock?

3/4" alum square bar from Lowe's, shined up with a steel wool pad. Two radions will hang from it. I had them attached earlier just to test the weight, and it all looked good. I'll cut the wire and fine tune the length once I'm ready to swap out tanks (a few weeks out).

I still need to skin my stand.

Also, while on the topic, if there's no sump below the tank, any reason to go nuts on the finish? Can I simply stain and toss on a poly?
