A hanger system capable of securing an illuminated fixture to a load bearing element is presented. The hanger system includes a cap, a base, a gripper, and at least two cables. The cap includes a top wall with a first hole and a first side wall with at least one ridge. The base includes a bottom wall and a second side wall. A sleeve extends from the bottom wall toward the top wall and is aligned with the first hole. At least two channels extend from the bottom wall and contact the second side wall. A slot is disposed along the contact between each channel and the second side wall. The slot at least partially traverses the bottom wall within each channel. The base is slidably disposed within the cap with the ridges slidably engaged along the slots. The gripper secures the cap to the base via a lower stem and is removably attachable to an upper cable via an upper stem. The lower cables are removably attachable at one end to the illuminated fixture and at another end to the channels.
