Thanks, Most of the stuff if I had more time or better tools I could make them look nicer but at least this way you guys get the idea of how to do it yourself if you want.

This is a diagram of how I plan on placing my lights on the aluminum sheet (I did it in paint... I know it sucks but it gets the point across). What do you guys think?

Another DIY led light project, look forward to see how you make out. What made you decide to do LED's vs say T5's ?

...T5's were never on my decision list... it was MH or LED's... LED's won because this is very much an "experiment" as it says in the title as well as clearance issues with height.
