Walks and I put together a rack to hang his new halides from. What you think.









It's full ali construction and can be made to order if anyone likes what they see. Cheers.

Cheers steve we thort it looked good to.
The end covers can be removed without taking down the lights but are a bit fiddley.
Didn't really think about the covers when we knocked it up.
Plenty of room in the middle tho

i have a simple solution, dont have the covers. They block out light and will reflect some of the usable light out.

Why no Mitre join on the top, would look heaps better?!
I tried welding an Ali light bracket up using thin ali not long ago... NEVER AGAIN!

[mattt]

mitre corners might look ok. do these lights not come with hanging racks? i'm partial to the hanging from the ceiling look

[Bowdy]

We did want to mitre the top corners but didn't have a mitre box and in the end thirty this is fool proof.
We used the hanging kit but being a rental really didn't want to drill holes.

[werdna]

You dont need a mitre box, all you need is a square, a pencil, and a grinder/dropsaw

[Bowdy]

Wow A drop saw well why didn't I think of that.
We made do with what we had and prity happy with the outcome.
We would mitre the corners the next time we made one.

[werdna]

It does look good.
You know how it is, you post a pic up, everyone criticises and tells you how to do it better, no one offers their services tho

[Bowdy]

Your right it would have looked better if we mitre the corners it was a quick knock up to hang the light.
Your more then welcome to bring a drop saw around newt time hehe

[werdna]

I'll tell you what.
Next time you need a drop saw, let me know.
You can meet me at the old mans work shop in Bibra Lake and you can use it.

[Riggers]

[Bowdy]
