Need help with lighting

[kayroy824]

Hello fellow beardy babes sooo this is driving me absolutely insane because for the life of me I cannot find these things anywhere or if they even sell them. So I am looking for the detachable metal hanging clips that attach to the light domes so you are able to hang them. I do not know the proper name for them and I’ve tried everything I can think of to try and find them to possibly purchase a pack of them. I have some lighting domes that didn’t come with any and I have screen tops that do not let me use the Zilla spring clips unless I want to destroy the screen to my terrariums . Can anyone help me with the name of these things and possibly where I can find them to purchase just them and not an entire whole other dome? Thank you ! I will include a photo to explain what I’m talking about.

Hello,

That is a good question, I am not sure. Have you checked at Lowe's or Home Depot yet?
I am unsure what they are called, exactly but I can look around. Until you find one, you can
also use the hook ends of 2 hangars, & just cut the hangar part to length & twist the ends
together to make one adjoining hook at the top to hang it with.

Great idea! I will definitely try that! Thank you! Yes if you happen to find out please let me know. Plain metal hangers aren’t too easy either to find now a days. They are all plastic or wood.

You may haft to go to the store and take the hook w/ you your looking for and see if they have them I would think some hardware store would carry them

The first link is what you want i'm sure. The first picture isn't the actual product I'd imagine, it's the second picture.

But ultimately, all it is is a piece of wire that is bent into shape. So, you can just use the second link to find something that is similar, and then bend it to fit your needs.
