How do I do it? I want to keep one power compact fixture and put in the three used blue panorama led modules I bought today in with it but have no clue what to do... Can anyone tell me in simple terms what to do before I get frustrated and just use a million bottles of super glue to get them to stay?? Lol
 
Well there are a few different options and they all depend on if you want to modify the hood at all or not...

Personally I would drill holes through the top of the canopy and use black rivets or rounded head carriage bolts to attach the lights to the hood. This way it is permanently attached, but you can remove them if you want. Carriage bolts do come in a stainless steel form too so you don't need to worry about contamination.

If you don't want to drill the canopy, use a good plastics glue and make a base for the LEDs. Use stainless screws to attach to this base.
 
Thanks for th bump Tonya! :bigsmile:

As for the base, what would I use for that? Also two of the strips that I bought dont have anywhere to screw through them to affix it to anything, so how would I go about doing that?
