Egg crate works but it blocks a lot of light. Believe it or not. I used to do that.


This pic is my canopy that I built. Closed all sides open top. Hides lights perfectly and stops light spilling into the room.

Better than full top as allows gases to escape and does not trap heat. If you go this route you could stop worrying about jumpers. I have not lost a jumper in Probably 4 years since building tops like this.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
