Here is what I did

I built a frame using material from a previous light.

I cut the non power Tek 8 - 48 lights down to accept 36" bulbs (they were already retired to use Icecap ballasts).

I riveted the lights together then riveted them to the frame.

I installed the bulbs and slid them into my canopy. The lights are powered by 4 icecap ballasts screwed to the back of the canopy.
