Not sure how to hang my light

I have a rather large.....grow light.

Due to how I'll be hanging it, I'm not sure what types of hooks I should be using. I will not be hanging it off the ceiling. Instead I have a rectangular steel bar about 5 feet in length that is resting on 2 squat bars.

I'm doing it this way because of where I'll be growing. I'm unable to hang it off the ceiling.

So my light has 4 little openings and I guess I'll use hooks in these little holes, but I'm not sure how to hang it off this bar.

I've included some pics so you can get a better idea of the bar I'll be hanging it off and the size of the holes on my light fixture.

If you're going to recommend any hooks please provide a link so I can see these for myself. I went to Home Depot and tried to find something to no avail. Then I asked the rep with the apron and he had no idea how to hang it either.

Drill 4 slightly larger holes in the existing holes on the light fixture and buy chain and then "S" hooks to fit the hole...chain works well in having to move the fixture up or down...g/l

They have 3/16" S hooks if the slots in your fixture will accommodate them. You can use pliers to close one end of the S hook, making it a little more secure.

They also have larger and smaller jack chain (#10 is larger, #14 is smaller).
