Advice on hanging light with cable loop

[pepedopolous]

Hi there.

I'm not much of a DIY person and I'm planning to get a NA setup with a stainless steel rail to hang the light from.

I haven't settled on a light yet but the hanging kits on the market seem to be only for ceilings.

So what I need is a way to make a secure fixed loop in a cable which I can then slide over the rail. It must cope with the weight of the light which can be up to 2.5 kilos (though there will probably be 2 cables).

Is it safe to simply use a crimp sleeve and pliers to make the loop?


I've found this website which has some other solutions but the cable might be too thin for them...

Many thanks,

Hi all,

Should be OK, but the kit in the link looks really good.
