I’d actually consider the mesh panels as I can get them cheap and local supplier has them in perfect size. But I’d need very thin cable ties to fit between individual leds on the strip and I’m concerned the heat from the leds may melt the plastic? Not sure how hot they will get?

Ok so I did some research and measured my f strips the holes are 3cm back from the edge of the strip. So I’d need 70mm Wide aluminium Ts which cost an absolute fortune. How would you mount the leds between two T strips in this situation? local supplier of the aluminium would cost me the...

very crude drawing but this is what I mean. it should be all about the hangers as far as I understand it. First has 2 hangers and wieght bows in middle So you add more hangers and the weights load is spread out on 3 supports which stops the bow

Cheers I’ll go overboard on the siZe to be sure but If I understand the science correctly the span would actually be between the two hangers so if I do have issues with bowing I can just add more hangers evenly spread out can’t I?

I can get those T channels for a decent price. 2mm thick but does the width matter?

It’s a sog straight flower clones 4 per sqft setup. I don’t plan on any uneven canopies

So you reckon I should just get 4m long pieces of angle? I was originally gonna do that but now that I think about it I thought making it in 1m sections would make it stronger but I must have been having a stoner moment

I would build it in 1m2 sections and then connect the 4 pieces together in place attach to pullys and hoist. much easier than way so I can lower and raise them at the same time without them swinging back and forth into each other

Yeah I’m not sure on their wieght either but yeah I can hang every 30cm if I need to but the less pulleys the better

Just the light fixture it’s self which would be 4m long x 1m wide. 90 Samsung f strips 2fters attached to it. just want it to be secure enough so it doesn’t bow in the middle

Oh my bad thought you meant there was a correct way to bolt them. would a specific size and strength rivet be required? I looked into riveting and lots of places say aluminium ones aren’t too strong and steel ones are better etc

What would be the correct way to connect them?

You reckon aluminium angles will be strong enough? I want to make it into one fixture 4m long by 1m wide don’t want it bending that’s why I went for the box

I plan to just blast ozone between runs wouldn’t that clean everything? been doing that for last few years no issue

I’d have the same issue of joining wouldn’t i?

Will a simple braze have a good strength though? I will be hanging the lights so don’t want them snapping from lifting up and down etc I had considered this but lots of Vids on YouTube sayings it’s not strong Cheers

What’s an aluminium fold? If I google it I just get aluminium folding doors ok so it’s just aluminium sheet but still how would you screw sheet into mesh? Looked a few mesh fixings but don’t see any that would take a screw or something. I would prefer to mount directly to the mesh actually...

damn I had not considered this. how would you mount the leds onto wire mesh?

Excuse the shite drawing but here is a little layout of my box sections I plan on joining together as a frame to hold all my f strips . f strips will be mostly on air - but edges on the box frame. looked into renting a welder but seems too annoying to have to use argon gas / a vacuum chamber...

No they are 3000k
