Which awning hooks work best with these lights?

We brought the small clips that was at same location and they work great. Please with both products.

They come with hooks, so I screwed in eye bolts to catch their hooks and take them down in storms.

I bought the plastic hooks that slide into the awning groove. These come with S hooks that slide into a hole in the plastic part that slides into the awning groove and then I hang the cord onto the other end of the S hook. Works great.

S hooks with plastic slide hangers. Then I had a shade made with cord slide. Then grommets extra for the lights. Love them.

I have used a C Clamp that goes on a lighting stand e.g., T shaped light tree stand. The spotlight is quite heavy, thus you want to have stable stand; I hung other lights on the other side of the horizontal bar on the stand to balance the weight.

Here is a diagram of hook sizes. Hope this helps.http://www.pcsoutdoors.com/images/hook_size.png

I don't know but any with a hook should work. Just avoid having the bottom as the heaviest part to avoid/reduce swinging. I don't have a problem with my setup and don't use any extra fasteners.

I used outdoor landscape lighting wire. It is very heavy gauge and is less expensive. It is perfect for this application. You can find it at any big box hardware store.

I think spot lights..... They do give off spread angle lighting and are easily adjustable...

No, they are not too heavy for the power awning of a 2012 Fleetwood Expedition, if that helps, but the Expedition has quite a sturdy power awning. I don't know what kind of awning you have, but these are not wimpy lights like the decorative/Christmas type of lights. Use the Camco fabric party light holders with them. Camco 42733 Fabric Party Light Holders I originally bought JR Products 05205 Stainless Steel Party Light Hanger, which come with flexible white tabs that slide into the awning. They are nice holders if you have lightweight lights, but I was then afraid the clips would be unable to support the weight of this string of party lights. That's when I bought the fabric lights. BTW, they take up to 60watt bulbs. I bought 40watt, which was sufficiently bright to see by. I was worried about blinding my neighbors. You might try 25watt if you just want ambient lighting. I'm going to try a dimmer switch with mine. I hope this was helpful. I'm very happy with these lights. Several neighbors stopped to ask about them. :) I'll just go ahead and post this as a review.

If you can't get the screw in anchors in the ground, then you can use the big nails to stake down the bottom of the awning. It comes with seven runners that slide in the slot in the awing and seven s hooks, I bought seven more runners and hooks because for a 20' awning you need that many, why it don't come with 14 I don't know.

There were no hooks with my light. I purchased hooks from Home Depot in the acoustical tile section which came with T-clips so I could hang the light from the T-rail. Works great.

Those "black bars" are likely the support structure for the awning. They are hinged and they DO move! They may be tangled with each other, so fiddle with them a little as you open the shade. The pins lock into place as you extend the canopy into the fully-open position. This may require an assistant.. Hope this helps!

The nice thing about these lights is that they come with adaptors to fit both a 4X4 wodden post and also the 5 inch plastic posts. I have been extremely happy with them and they have worked great since I purchased them. I bought the white ones ot match my fence.

one side hook/one side loop. Works very well; used outside last year to hang Christmas lights on a fence and held up well in the rain and wind.

I can't say what is best I. Your circumstance. The lights are a half circle with adhesive on the flat side. The adhesive isn't the best to use around water or anything in motion as the lights can separate from the surface they are adhered to.I did mount the lights in my live well; I mounted them to the horizontal side and went over he top with clear Duct Tape. They have done quite well. I left the tape about 3/4 to 1 inch beyond the lights themselves.

I mounted them to the camper not the awning. Ran 1.5inches below where the awning was attached to the camper. The lights have an adhesive strip and silicon mounts (buy aluminum 1/4' screws not what comes with it the light as they will rust). Then I to for good measure put a bead of clear silicon around the edges. 2 years and we get other campers stopping by.

Tow hooks for sure, don't know about the fog lamps. Unless there behind my winch I don't think I have fog lamps. Regardless I do not think they would be a problem. The only thing I had to do was drill two holes on both sides but be careful drilling through on the driver's side. I ended up hitting the line going into the air conditioner compressor and had to replace it. Other than that it was quite easy to install.

We didn't like the connectors provided with the lights, so we used connectors from the hardware store: Ace 22-18 AWG Tap Splice Connector, Insulated. They're red and come in a small box of 25. Hope this helps!

These LED lights come with a small plastic bracket that you can use two way tape or screws. I was suggest screws, but may need to use a self tapping screw or a pilot hole.
