Hi All,
The wife asked what I wanted to do on fathers day....I said how giving me 5 or 6 hours to myself to build
a hanging light canopy for my LED lights! So the weather cooperated and this is what I came up (with
just a little help from my 3 little guys :)
Nothing really special (its just a box!) as my 7 year year old put it. (who is a proud daddy of a 12 g freshwater
tank and of "Leggy" the Hermit crab that stowed away in my clean up crew shipment).
I made 2x3 supports in the box to lay my lights on, making sure to add some blocking so there was no
way they could fall through. Not sure how I am going to hang it.....either chain or metal rod.
I will add some more pictures after I hang it.

Cost less then $75

Looking good Mike!
 
Nice. You can also use wire to hang it. Not sure what hd has but a lighting place will have it in different thicknesses
