Mounting Radions ?

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.

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.
