    Looks like it's all there dude.

    Let's get that frame made up. Have you decided on final dimensions and spacings of the strips ?

    Yeah, the strips are each 59cm x 30mm x 3mm. The angle bars will overlap the ends so looking at about 60cm width once ends are on.
    As for spacing, there's 10 strips and the end angle bars coming are 50cm. So 10 strips is 30cm, leaving 20cm in gaps (9 x 2.22cm). I'll place the leds centrally so actual gaps between light strips will be 2.82cm as there'll be 6mm of aluminium either side of the strips.

    I'm thinking I can possibly use the end angle bars to hook over the tent poles to give max height.
    May need to put some 3 inch brackets or pole or something on the back of the lights to hold the tent ceiling up a little. Will also act as protection when I need to place it down on surfaces.

    Not sure if I've explained the picture in my head well enough

    Cool, and looks like you got plenty of plaster for the strips.

    Can you post a pic of both ends ( the connectors in particular ) of a strip please

    So we will be connecting the strips together in series so we can either go across the tops, bottoms or alternate.

    Electronically it's best to alternate

    Top (1)+ to top (2)-
    Bottom 2+ to bottom 3-
    Top 3+ to top 4- ....
