ok so i reinforced the strip down with more tape in the mean time with more of the reflective tape.
so this is what the girl looks like now after i cut the rest of all that scorched matter. the main cola was hit the hardest so i just tied it down and hope the other mini colas will get bigger.
up above is the front view, below is the back of the plant.

I'm with richinweed, you can't just tape it up because it'll probably happen again. I am using eye-screws or whatever they're called, a screw with a ring on the end so I can run cord through it. I was using this hefty looking string, until I realized a problem when the hanging lamps are intentionally pulled off-center (so they can be raised up and down at a different center-point) where a string would break if I pulled up (trigonometry).. Or would have such a high tension that it might break while I was away.. So I replaced all the string with 550-lb paracord. Now, I just have to keep an eye on tension, else it would pull the eye-screws out.

i had it happen to me. theyll be alright.
i also had a main cola that i had tied back and down slip loose of the hold and sat on the bulb for who knows how long and was scorched bad but when i rectified the problem, she bounced back with a huge amount of vigor. these plants are tough and can take some serious punishment.
