Thanks to everyone who helped me!
Based on the Samsung F-Series LT-FB22B 4′ LED Strip Build – 4’x4′ here,

And this awesome video from Greengenes Garden (to whom I also owe many thanks)

I'm fortunate to be working for one of the few fully permitted farms in my area.

Next time I will use (2) HLG-320H-C1750B's. Like Green genes recommends. I regret going constant voltage. And I used an "A series" driver so that I could control the voltage, but I wish I had the remote dimming of a "B series".
I substituted the gland box that Green genes used for this one,
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012N ... UTF8&psc=1 ASIN B012NJUUG4.
I also used 1/4 - 20 screw eye bolts instead of 80/20 brand hangers.
I installed the heat sinks on top of the 80/20 aluminum channels so that the LED strips will be protected if the light is placed face down on a solid surface.

Thanks. I ordered the 80/20 extrusion from
tnutz.com. Credit for the design goes almost entirely to Greengenes.

Great job on this build. I love the use of the 80/20. It's sturdy, light and very easy to adjust. Makes it easy to add/remove lights as needed without having to drill holes for every configuration. Nicely done!

Thanks folks! Again I couldn't have done this without help from people like Greengenes, ATPinMotion, Hydrofood, Shimbob and unkle_psycho. Not to leave anyone out.
I will def be posting an update once I see how the light performs.
