    I think its a nice setup and design. I'm going to try the new Maxspect LED fixture on my new build.

    Would you just put lower light corals under the area where the 7 is going to be? It may make a big visual difference between the two bulb types. Im still trying to figure out what im going to do with mine as well!!!!:biggrinbo

    The can fixtures will cause bulbs to overheat as there is no air movement.

    haha. Of course someone would mention the can lights. :( I couldn't find a track light in 3d warehouse that didn't have the cans over 'em.

    Nothing wrong with light tracks. Make sure u make them so you can lower or raise them as you please. I was thinking a sliding side track, but if u plan on individually adjusting the lights, it won't work. You would have to lower all or raise all.
