Eyelet with nut to hang LEDs inside of Canopy?

Hey all, building my bowfront canopy and almost done! I'm going to hang my Reefbreeder's 2 24" fixtures and want to know what hanging you recommend. My last canopy I had a 1x1 frame with regular eyelets screwed in.

This time im thinking of doing the eyelets with a nut and I will paintings nut black to blend in. Thoughts?

Left I had on last one
middle--too small?
Right-overkill?

 

you can hang the tank with those things lol. but sounds like a good easy and clean way to mount a fixture to the inside of the hood.

 

Even the smaller ones should be just fine. These lights aren't that heavy. They should tell you the weight rating on the hooks just to make sure.

 

Thank you, yea the right is 120lbs so I'd say the middle is def fine. I was thinking about just using the screw it but would rather have the piece of mind with the nut version.

 

using a nut will also make a cleaner look with the hood....screwing it in you might poke the end of the screw through the top and murphy's law you will scratch yourself all the time on it....consider cap nuts, they will look like buttons on top instead of threads showing.

 

I will have to look into cap nuts, great idea!
