Default LED Fixture update

OK so finally I'm going to build this thing, looking back I really wish I just bought a damn fixture but hopefully I'll be able to make this better suited to my needs/wants than what's currently available.

OK first off the specs:

126 LEDs in total
-56 White
-56 Blue
-7 Red
-7 Yellow

6 Drivers in total to connect to profilux PWM module, one channel for white, one for blue, one for red and one for yellow.

Going tubular heat sink, two pressurizing cooling fans and about 24 feet of 1-1/4 aluminium tubing, give or take.

Now the design:
I modeled the heat sink to make sure everything will fit within the canopy size I've chosen.



The tubing will be drilled/notched and welded together so the air will flow through the inner channel first and then around the parameter back towards the fans where it will vent out of the canopy.



I'll figure the rest out as I go...

Here's the tube:


And here's the canopy which I just finished:


More to come.
