Just do it - they're convenient and they're so much better than jack chain. I've had one break but that was the mechanism inside and it didn't drop my light. I couldn't live without them.

Yeah ukcheesehead, I was just gonna say I wouldn't trust those flimsy things to hold something heavy like a big CFL. But a HPS bulb is so much lighter that they should be fine.

("big CFL" heh that's quite the oxymoron)

i've never had a problem and have probably 10 of the things goin back years...yoyo's never last for me and i'm always gettin tango'd in the face with the hook but touch wood(touches head) my ez rollers have always been ideal and a lot easier than chain

All I can say is I wish I had invented them. I should have shares in them by now for the amount I have bought. Brilliant things.

if your talking about what im thinking about ....there alot easyer than adjusting a chain.....but im sure theres always the chance of one now and there stuffing up....i only used them cause i got some free with my tent and cool tube and used heaveyish shades and had no probs.....chain can be bought anywhere if you change your mind....so maybe give some a go?.HH. =]-~
