HEAVY LED, How to maximize height?

Hiya 1000 watt 5x5 bar light, It is heavy to the point I had to anchor it to the corners with chains because if it isn't the poles bend, and no it was an expensive tent.

The hangers jet out at a 135 angle, probably wasting a foot from the celling.

Any way to raise it to the top (almost?)

if you need pics....for what IDK I'll get some.

What're the dimensions of the light, and the tent?
Can you use something equally sturdy, but shorter like some strong s-hooks? Or is that too short to reach the corners effectively?

How is the light so heavy it bends the bars?

I can do pull ups of my tent and its cheap.

How bent is bent?
How many bars to hang from?
Normally there's 4, like a naughts n crosses board.

Why do you want it right at the top?
A foot from the ceiling is pretty close

If you put it too close to the ceiling airflow/cooling is reduced. Increased temperature shortens the lifespan of LEDs and driver.

Sorry I feel asleep it is a
Meijiu MAJO-V1.2-1000H-9

I've got a huge cfm fan and fan cooled drivers, but I'll measure but 2 ft from celling now?

I could ghetto it with 4 8ft 2x4

my best solution I thought of is poke holes in tent roof and hang from the rifters, litterally- but ehhhh.

I'll measure and take a pic- It was a pain to order, assemble, and fix 2 blown boards, but WOW!
