I would think the panel would tilt a little weird, but let me know if you try it out, cause I was debating the same thing last night, cause the wires that came with my Led panel are tied together with zip-ties, an shoe laces just so I could hang my panel higher

I buy chain in bulk at about .50 cents/foot (usually HD or Lowes), kind of like the chain you'd use to to tie up a dog outside. Small enough to fit the clips on the LED side and then hang S hooks wherever I need a light. It's fully adjustable, strong and cheap.

get 2 more of those clips and 2 more hangers to properly hang that light.

try running the cables lengthwise so theres one on each side running the length of the light, to two of the mounts. and if thats not high enough, put them in an X formation and that will for sure bring it higher.

I thought the cables were that long so you could vent the unit. Bringing it up to the ceiling could cause overheating issues.

you could always ziptie if it is always going to be on max height

I had this problem once and simply tied loose knots in the wire and it raised it perfectly.

Fuck chains. Rattle rattle rattle, clang clang clang, scratch scratch scratch. I love spending 10 minutes fiddling around! /rant

Rope ratchets ftw. 34KG capacity. I have like 20 of them!

Just use 4 of them and you're good to go, it's just gona tilt around like that. You can use them as side/angle lighting with 4 ratchets too.

A temporary solution could be to daisy chain some zip ties, but be careful one bump and the thing flips upside down.
