How to mount VHO endcaps to canopy?

RobG · 10-26-2001, 08:15 PM

I thought I would be done by now

I have all my MH mounted in new canopy, and just got my VHO ballast and bulbs from LampsNow. Either way, the endcaps come designed to be mounted to a reflector. I am mounting these below the MH reflectors (Spiderlight) at each end of the MH bulbs.

How should I mount the endcaps to the canopy? It appears that I need something like these lamp clips (http://www.lampsnow.com/lampclipst12.html) but I can't purchase them locally, and I really don't want to wait for delivery. Any good ideas for how to mount these without the lamp clips, or a substitute product I can get at the depot?

Thanks in advance

Rob

Are these the 2 piece end caps? How about wood screws? I guess I would need to see them.

They are three-piece end caps. Here's the link: http://www.lampsnow.com/noname1.html

I think I like Paul's suggestion... Should be the sturdiest way to mount them. I will probably have to make something like that, though.

Rob, those brackets are made for the 3 pc endcaps. They can be made from some 1/4 acrylic
