While I agree that yes, if you say you are going to sell something you should be selling that something, that's not the point of this thread. I just want to know what people are doing to mount these bad boys :-)

Does ecotech provide (at an extra cost) the hanging kit even? Or is the user supposed to provide their own rig?

the units come with four black screws, these screw into the top of each unit for you to use for hanging. I went to home depot and grabbed 30' of 1/16 wire and some wire crimps and went to town. Problem is, adjusting the lights after crimping means wiring a whole new setup

Yes, they do provide a wire hanging kit for an additional $45 each unit

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

Sure why not :-)

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.
