If he's looking to build a hood/canopy, then I'd say he's looking for someone to bend sheet aluminum. They use an aluminum brake for that.

Hey guys. There are no lenses at this time. As for a link I bought them from a wholesaler in hong kong. But he does not ship to the states any more. I'm currently looking for a new wholesaler in the states.

ok and i think im going to do 80 degree angles and the same amount of lights as yours. thats good enough to have sps right? oh and do you know how the dimming works, like can i put all the + and - of the wires together from all 12 drivers to make just 2 wires 1 + and 1 - then connect it to the reefkeeper advanced light controller to dim?

 

[Deep Dive Coral]

Do you know how many amps the reef keeper dimmer can hold. But even without that info I would say that its ok.

At 12 drivers you may want to look into larger more efficient Mean-wells, the HLG-185 series (available Feb/Mar) will drop the count to 4 and should be easy for the RK to control.
