Hey I'm having a real hard time figuring out how to hang my lights in my new enclosure. It's not so much where to hang them it's how to do the hanging. Right now I have the clamp shoved up through the side of the mesh lid with the lid locks keeping it in place I really don't trust that. It was only a temporary anyways.

My idea is to have the light hanging from it's cord from the mesh lid zip ties though the mesh all along the cord for support. Does this sound ok?
I don't know how else to do it. Placing them ontop is not an opition to high.

Build something to hang them from overhead. You can't cut a plywood base slightly larger than the bottom of your enclosure and put an upright 2x4 on either side. The put a crossbar 2x4 attached on either side to the uprights and hang your lights from there.

Or you can move the enclosure under an existing shelf and hang the light from there. I use rubber coated metal coffee cup holder hooks.
