Interested in hanging from these until I get my tent.

Has anyone ever utilized similar hooks? I wasn't sure of the name or the weight its able to hold, my ceiling has the tiles that push up, these hooks don't really look too sturdy I actually didn't feel comfortrable with idea of putting 150w hps (14 pounds) on other hook, the LED isn't as heavy and its resting on grow box partially... Any idea what I could get up here without drilling preferably :3

The smaller tent I'm interested in is suppose to beable to hold "60 pounds of goods" but I'm not entirely sure I could even hang it without a tent now, any input, thanks appreciated. :)

I currently have tent on priority next to extra soil for next purchase so its not going to be that long but, until I get actual hangers I need to make these do. As you can see I have random stuff tied, its not a big deal for the led as mentioned, but for hps I'm not comfortable with it, lol the ceiling is deceptive, it doesn't seem like it could even hold LED, like feels like drywall type stuff you could step through, lol.
 
I wouldn't hang anything from that, it's called a drop ceiling. If you stick your head up there, you'll see its just tiles and flimsy aluminum framing that's probably just held up with wire every few feet. We had this at my last work and that's what it was. When they swapped out the old 400w metal halide to T5's,I was helping(cause I wanted the 400's...lol) and noticed the lights we took down, and the new ones we put up were all hung by there own wires, there's no way that ceiling would have supported any weight other than it own. Go up to the main ceiling above the drop ceiling and hang wire, chain or whatever and you'll be good
 
We had that type of ceiling in our store and WeedFreak78 is right the lights were hung from the main ceiling by there own chains
