Use for an old LED fixture.

[Troy V]

I purchased these fixtures years ago and it is finally time to retire the LEDs, since all of the blue diodes have turned black and I have moved on to newer/better pastures when it comes to 6 year old LED technology. But I am such a packrat when it comes to this hobby. I have stuff in my garage from 20+ years ago. So I found an old Hamilton DE metal halide pendant that my clam shattered the glass on, and merged the 2 fixtures together. This fits my rollback canopy perfectly because when I designed the canopy I wanted T5s and an SB reef fixture. So the mounting bracket I made is the exact same. It is a very easy retrofit. Fan will be added later.

Way to recycle! That's pretty awesome! Any photos of the build? I'd be interested to see how it all went together
