picked up a 61” hybrid fixture and realized it has the cables for hanging, but nothing to secure it to the canopy. Did anyone grab hooks or something from Home Depot or Lowe’s? If so, what did you get? Thanks!

I did, but wanting to know what you used to secure it to the canopy.You didn't get something like these in the box?
I’m using a canopy, so that won’t work for me.@ShepherdTech I went back and forth for days looking online for examples on how to hang it! I eventually just broke down and got their hanging system...
I wanted this fixture in addition to the 2 bulb retro I have. I don’t like the way retros mount and also don’t like the way the radions hang from the cable. Thanks for the suggestion though.I assume you already bought the fixture but if you are using a canopy why wouldn’t you just buy a retrofit kit so you can hard mount your t5s directly into the hood then just mount your LEDs the same way? You could bypass having a fixture in your canopy, make everything that much cleaner and also make removing your canopy that much easier and safer than having a big fixture hanging from cables inside.
I wasn’t wild about drilling through the hood either, but I spent a solid couple of weeks thinking through this. The only other option was attaching to the wall using the brackets shown above, and then slide the canopy against the wall covering it so it doesn’t show. Unless your canopy is really high (I had them add 2 inches of height and it would not have been enough), it’s not a viable option. Good Luck!I don’t want to drill through my hood, so may just send it back. Thanks all.
