I did start out hanging them by fishing leaders, but spent a lot of time trying to balance them....i gave up on this, tho others seem to like the leaders...
I now use two designs, both based on using 4 self-tapping screws, 1” angle aluminum, a hacksaw, a drill, and a screwdriver.
The first, puts all the lights in my 4x4 on the same level, and i use 2” styrofoam layers under my buckets to set the tops even under the lights:

Basically a square frame at the walls, with pairs of cross bars to hold a pair of lights. I only have a single screw in each of the corners of the square frame; the cross bars and lights are not screwed into anything, so i can move the cross bars and lights anyyime without any work. I use blue painter’s tape at each end of the cross bars to hold them at the proper distance so lights wont fall thru. I use clamps in the tent’s corner posts to rest the square frame on to level them; i also drilled a single hole at each one’s midpoint of each side of the square frame, to attach a pulley as my insurance policy for frame not falling if a clamp comes loose....takes more time to describe than to build.
The second design essentislly is two cross bars with ends, a screw in each corner, hung by wires attached to pulleys:

Again, i just put the lights on them (not screwed in) so i can position lights where i want them. The ones above are for 2 lights, but you could make a smaller frame, for each individual light.
