Here is a picture of my frame holding some aluminum (reflectors). Strips holding reflectors are 3/4x3/4x1/16 aluminum angle. Ends front and back are 1/2x1/2x1/16 aluminum angle. Screwed together with 8-32 button head cap screws. Holes thru to run stuff. Holes on corners for individual hangers so I can flex it or angle it to keep equal distance offer canopy. Super lite construction but still an overkill. I don't know what I would do different and I'm always thinking of building a better mouse trap. Only showing 6 of 9 panels
Ask any questions

Some.....are.....missing.....screws...... my OCD would kick in..... I'm sure you did it that way on purpose. I would have to fill in the holes or put plastic plugs in.
Very nice though.

Don't really need screws for the reflectors as they sit in between the frame. Just holds them in place so when I lift it to get to my girls they don't slide and stay in placeSome.....are.....missing.....screws...... my OCD would kick in.....

Simple and functional I like it.

Too many screws also wouldn't let it flex like I want it to.
Almost exactly the same as Mine, screws are different
All 8/32 Machine screws with Nuts. Eye Bolts have Wing Nuts for easy of install
One Tip, Use a bigger drill bit in the metal obviously but Oblong the holes for the BDS in case, like me, Locations arnt perfect
I use One ratchet hanger for each side, I can lift the front, which drops the back, so I can get inside easy
My Big frame, which is basically 3 separate 2 light units attached to more angle aluminum top and bottom
A single unit, similar to above
End of the Unit shows the Eye Bolts

Do your drivers have On Board Dimmers or the separate wired on dimmers Like I have?
and what Is yer Driver Derby? I see the 120's max at 2800ma where the 132 are 2000ma, so drivers are a bit different indeed

Have you measured the WATTS you get with those 2100ma drivers? can you get MAX watts

I cannot. I'm only getting about 480 watts full open and should be able to push these panels to over 600 watts. I'm just trying to get thru this grow to see if they produce the way I need them to. I'm please with my readings on my meter so if things finish the way they've been going I'm not going to touch them. I can always split them and run them at 50-60% and blow the tent up. That's why I haven't run my 260 kits as I want to see how these do as is

Yeah I can't even keep up. Morning bud!Dang neighbor hard to stay up with your love tub
Hope all is well. I guess the guys say the meter is a pretty good deal for the price... May not be a bad idea if you didn't pull the trigger already.
