Pictured above are my 165w Viparspectras being held up by metal Hanging Plant Brackets. I got both of the brackets for $12.

If you are curious, these brackets come in various different lengths.

The only drawback of using these is that you can't adjust the height. But, if your lights come equipped with adjustable hanging cables like mine, then it's not an issue.

I am not certain if others have used plant hangers for this purpose before, so I figured I'd share.
 
well that is one way to hang lights!
