Design Plans

This image is a full view of both sheet cutouts. The first contains 2 upper parts and 4 lower parts. The second contains 2 upper parts and 22 Heat Sink pieces.

This image shows to design plan for the center heat sink which will contain multiple LEDs.  There will be about twenty of these stacked on top of each other separated by washers.  The spaces in-between will allow for greater air-flow to the LEDs to keep it cool.

These are the new pieces designed for the fixture. There will be four of each type. Each piece is tabbed to make combining the pieces easier.

The pieces combine at the midpoint as shown. The lower pieces is less wide than the upper piece at the midpoint, because the lower components will fit into the upper components.

The pieces will be cut from two 1/8" thick sheets of aluminum metal. It is 24" x 48". Two of the upper components and four of the lower components fit onto one sheet. There is spare metal from the second sheet which will only have two upper components cut out of it. This metal will be kept as a safety measure in case problems arise in cutting or bending the sheet metal.
