Ok so here is a pic of what i want to do.Now what i don't get is the instructions on how the light connects to the ball extension.Here are there instructions.http://www.catalinaaquarium.com/information.php?info_id=20

It doesn't make any sense why they have that piece attached to the string there:confused:.It doesn't say to do that in the instructions.The instructions just say to attach the wire from the light to the loop on the ball extension which doesn't seem safe at all

Most lights come with the wire adjustable zip adjustors.
Buy those.
They work better.

You just make a loop and use a small wire nut with a cylinder and hang the wire loop over the bar.

You can also drill right into the bar and zip the Wire up and down from there.

Coralife makes a wire hanger for the loop style, or some places sell the mounted bracket to drill directly into the conduit bar.

BTW, the wire and zips here will hold about 100lbs each

Not 20lbs at best...........

Well my fixture already has 4 nipples on the top where you insert the wire and it grabs.So i don't have a problem there its just getting the wire to attach to the ball extension.I saw someone did it in the photo i posted i just don't know how.

How did you connect the wire to the pole?Whats the thing you used to clamp the wire together?My light looks just like this but with 2 nipples at each end on both sides
