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

well decided to change the design and add in a little more help from the CNC machine we got at work. went a little thinner aswell using 12 gauge aluminum instead of 1/8th. here is what this one looks like before paint. dont mind all my grimey fingerprints all over it.

Nice work love the holes they would take a while to drill by hand.

Hey man, I like the look of the second canopy better.... I was gonna say with the first canopy fans would be mounted on the side but with the new canopy it can be mounted inside hidden!
