thought i'd post the slow progress I am making when I can find the time. here is how the fixture/hood looks so far. still havent welded ends on. still working out what will be best ie, fan placements/ventilation.

Enclosure is being made of 1/8th marine grade aluminum along with the backpan the strips are being mounted. Once finished it will go to the powdercoaters to get coated textured black for a longer life. Inbetween the stips 3 led moonlights will be wired seperatly for a timed cycle. I will also be making a track for a piece of acrylic can slide in and out. thanks for looking
