After getting some great feedback on my "Light Mobile" idea, and deciding not to build it, I came up with a couple new designs. But I haven't worked with any of these parts so I don't know their strengths and weaknesses.
I'd like to use extruded aluminum bars for the structure and t-slot brackets to hold the cross bars and COBs/heatsinks.
This is how I want it to look. The COBs and heatsinks would possibly be suspended from the t-slot hangers via strong magnets.
Magnets connecting t-slot hanger to heatsink (if the parts are magnetic)
If magnets won't work then what about suspending the heatsinks with brackets?
What about side-mounting the lights?
With this design, lights would be able to tilt and pivot to give precise control of the direction of each individual light!
Is any of this doable? If so, can anyone suggest what thickness rails, and whatever else I should know? I think I'd be leaning towards side-mounting the COBs.
Thanks everyone!
