So here's how I hung mine inside a 8" tall canopy. This option gave me the most clearance and was very easy using commonly found components.
The first thing was to remove the screws that come with the AI Sols and in their place, I used 3/16" x 3" eye bolts. Now the issue is that the eye bolts are 24 thread and the holes in the AI Sol are 32 thread so I had to get out my die set and rethread the bolts. Not a big deal really unless you don't have the tools. Then it becomes an issue. Otherwise, it won't work. I then cut the eye bolts to a more preferred length of 2 1/2" long. Once attached to the light, I simply attached a 1 1/4" key ring to each eye bolt (found at Lowe's in the hardware area).
Inside the canopy, I attached 4- 1 1/2" electrical conduit brackets (Lowe's electrical dept) since there's not a lot of weight here, I used #8 x 3/4" wood screws to attach those brackets. These are zinc and not being in direct contact with water, shouldn't rust.
Next I cut appropriate lengths of 1" PVC pipe and painted them black. All you have to do now is slide the PVC pipe onto the front bracket, through the keyring, through the rear bracket and you have yourself a light holder! Oh and it's slightly adjustable. Mine would be adjustable if I used more brackets.
I also experimented with an alternate using a lot of the same materials except no eyebolts and key rings...for those without these tools. All you have to do is cut a 3/16" wide opening in the PVC most of it's length. This can be accomplished with a table saw, a rotozip tool, a jobmax, or even a hand saw. NOTE: Do not use thin-wall PVC for this installation!! Simply slide the bolt head from the AI Sols into the groove you just cut while threading the PVC pipe into the brackets and your done!
