Does anybody know where to buy extra light hanging poles for a tent?

Thanks for all of the good ideas. I think ill go with the bars that are supposed to go on the sides of the tent. When summer comes and i'm only using 2 lights I can try them for their intended purpose.

The high CFM kits I have seen use plastic connectors where the light hanger bars I have seen use metal ends that are flattened and bent into a hook shape. Depending on the weight of the light it might be a little sketchy to rely on the plastic ends that were not intended for that purpose.

It might be overkill but I would use a piece of 3/4" EMT and a few of these TEE's.

Yea i thought about that but I think it should be fine. I'll only hang one 315 cmh reflector with ballast attached from each pole and I'd say each light is around 10 pounds if that.

I'll also use gorilla tape to secure the poles to the tent frame so I think It will be ok.

Thanks for the input. Safety is always the first thing i think about which is why I also have an automatic fire extinguisher in the tent just incase disaster strikes.
