I'm trying to hang some Ai hydra 32 lights w shades on a rail with some Amazon cable kit and it looks like trash. Functional, but the excess cable hanging out and the side cables with intermediate adjuster. It needs to be cleaner. Maybe a single cable down to the center of rail and keep it level with the cord management? How did you hang your rail with cables ? Trying to avoid spending more $$$ on a rail and hanging kit, it's ridiculous how over priced they sell the mounting hardware. But that's reefing I guess

I always cut the excess cable once I have the lights close to where I want them. No reason to keep all that excess hanging down.
 
I guess what I should have asked is if you need the extra narrow span cable. My answer is no. I think two single cables will be fine. I found that I can balance out any twist with the cords as they attach to the wall. I will be adding a 3rd light and getting a ling rail on version 3.0

One more final. Maybe I should move this to the top in case anyone is searching and reads this. This is ai hydra 32s with shades from smada reef, the ai hms brackets and rail. I tucked the hanging cables in the rail and used some small wire wrap to cover them.
