Eliminator Stryker Beam Hanging clamps? What to BUY?

DimLightGlobal DJ

What clamps should I buy to hang these fixtures on my LTS-2 Light stands. The attaching bolt is too small on all the clamps I have. I need to buy a clamp with a bolt that is at least 2 inches long. Should be a wing nut with a lock washer as well. Does anyone have any solutions on what to buy, The Eliminator Stryker Fixture has two Brackets and requires to clamps. It weighs about 28.5 lbs. You can download the manual to see what the bracket configuration is. I just can't seem to find any clamps that are ready to use. They all seem to have bolts about 1.25 inches long that are not long enough to do a proper job. It's to bad that ADJ/Eliminator didn't specify some clamps to buy. I may end up just buying some longer bolts for my ADJ 1.5 inch O Clamps. Their weight limit is 28 lbs. so with two of them I should be well into the safe range. Your thoughts are welcome. Thanks, Brian

Hello, you are able to go to your local hardware store and purchase longer bolts as you need, no problems, just try to find the same bolt size, just longer.

I did get some bolts yesterday at the Home Depot they are 5/16 size. The originals are #8 Metric, but the 5/16 bolts, washers, lock washers and wing nuts should do the trick. There are 2 clamps being used so it should be no problem. The Hexagon shaped heads of the larger size bolts will not fit in the space under the inside sleeve of the O clamp and so I had to go with a smaller bolt. These bolts are plenty big enough for the 28.5 lb. Eliminator Stryker Beam. Buy the way, I love this fixture. It does everything I could want and the throw and the brightness are great!!!!!!. I have a shed at the back of my yard that is about 130 feet from my house. I set up the Stryker in the window and positioned the beam on the shed. It lit it up like it was on fire. The prism effects were too much fun. I had to shut it off. I was afraid the neighbours might call the fire department. Can't wait for my next club night lighting gig. Thanks for getting back to me!!!!!!
