Nice. Can it withstand the weight? Is your MH heavy?

Nicely done.

Can you show a close-up please? And more information about the parts?

Did you DIY the MH light too?

should be no problem cos i using 16mm pipe and i drill hole for the wire to hide inside the pipes so it make it neater

Wat did u use to attach the light to the pipe?

be careful about the temperature of the fixture...

Wat did u use to attach the light to the pipe?

notice there a white metel on the pipe i bent it slightly to form a hook to hook onto the pipe and re=enforce with cable tie now the biggest worry is the pipe can withstand the heat from the MH or not ??? maybe in the future i using wooden or those metel pipe as the holder lor if the PVC can withstand the heat

I believe you can cut a small gap in the pipe to let it sit on the glass.

thought of this but by cutting the pipe it weaken the pipe as the cut is on the centre so bend the metal or blacket is a better choice and to re-enforce it drill two hole on the blacket and secure with cable tie
