So are the black clips and end hangers a kit? All custom? And how thick are the bars/heatsinks the strips are on?

Yeah designed the light on my pc, and just printed it out.
The frame is 20x20mm vslot extrusion and 50x3mm aluminium flat bar.
Dimensions are 560x560mm.

I need to make a bigger light and couldn't be fucked drilling all the holes.........
So I got baked and decided to let the printer do the hard work, no more drilling.

Can anyone enlighten me where to look to find info about building these style of lights?

Are they better/worse vs standard HID MH/HPS ?

I'm fairly new to the forums and growing so should i just stay away from this type of stuff till i have more understanding?
