Hi everyone. First time posting in this forum. I bought two of the Medicgrow Fold-8’s and their light controller. I’m putting them in a 4x8 Gorilla Grow tent.
The reason I came here was to see if anyone else had them and if they figured out the weird cable hangers they come with. I’ve never used this type before.
There are three points from which to hang the fixture. One piece of the cable is like an upside down”Y” and it’s obvious where they attach to the fixture. The second piece connects between the other two, but there really isn’t a way to adjust them like you would a regular light yo-yo. The cable will adjust one way but not the other. I’m attaching pictures in case anyone has ever used this type of hanger for their lights and can “shed some light” on the issue. Thanks everyone.

What’s the deal with the cable hangers they come with? Did you use them? Thanks!

We listen to Slayer really loud around here. So we’re always on the verge of bursting into flames

My buddy threw away the hangers they came with and just used ratchet straps. I've been told the light hangers are junk

Thanks for responding. I appreciate it. I figured out how to adjust them. But it’s awkward to do so I just bought Sun Grip hangers. Have a good one.
I actually won 1 of these Medic Grow LED's in a contest and I'm still waiting for it to arrive. I'm a firm believer in the GAVITA pro 1700e's, as I own 2 already and they are producing fire. I'll probably do a side by side grow next time in August, and am very excited about it.

Hell yeah. That would be rad. Congratulations on winning that fixture by the way! Have a good one.

I have the EZ8 coming as well, looks great and am planning on comparing it to my Fluence SPYDR 2P. Looks extremely comparable and comes with the dimmer on the light instead of bring a separate purchase and having to wore it yourself. Also discovered discovered controller and am excited about it too! I'll let you all know how they compare when I have some results for a side by side grow!

I have the Fold8 and couldn't figure out how to use the supplied hangers, so I grabbed 6 ratchet straps as well.
I figured out the hangers. The one with the 'Y' connects to the outer rings and then there should be a screw to tighten on the bottom of the 'Y' split to lock it in place so it doesn't sway. I used the center hanger and replace the outer ones because they would not raise up high enough with the design.
I adjust them by pulling the metal piece in your second picture to raise the fixture. Where your hand is in the same picture (also shown in the first pic) should be a thin barrel on the inside that you can depress to lower the fixture.

Thank man. I figured thatout eventually. It’s kind of a weird system and the documentation isn’t very clear. I appreciate you though!

Anyone on the fence about purchasing these, shouldn’t. Beside the non stealth shipping, lights are killing it.

Nicely done. Your girls look great. I’ve got two of the Fold-8’s. Surprisingly they run significantly cooler than I thought they would. It’s a great fixture.

Used to b 1890w in the room now I’m 1680w, room environment is much easier to control and light coverage is definitely better than when I had 630cmh.

I'm using the EZ8 myself for not much more money at all! I will be doing a comparison grow with this light against the Fluence Spydr 2P, however, it literally crapped out on me today. $1,400 light BTW and that's before the $125 dimmer you have to install yourself.
So this light was waiting for my current grow to finish up to do as exact of a side by side grow as I could do when I came back from dinner and found my Fluence light like this during lights ON time!
It was a pain in the ass to take out that light but I did! I'll be getting that warranty repaired for sure!
The @MedicGrow EZ8 was super easy to install even near the end of flowering! Check it out!
Yep, it installs just as easy as it looks in the pictures! Extremely user friendly! These are sweet lights and you should pick one up if you're needing a great light at a really reasonable price!!
