Florescent Mounting *SAFETY QUESTION

[SunLake]

I was given a suggestion to run 4 24w florscents down each corner of my grow room to supplement 4 90w UFO LEDs. Instructions for the Florsecents say to mount them to a surface but I see no way of doing that with the poles on my DR150 indoor greenhouse. I have used twisties to tie them to the poles but I'm worried this may be a safety issue. I only plan to run them 4-6 hours a day. Should I be concerned about mounting them correctly even though there only running 4-6 hours? If so, what other ways can I go about getting them in my DR150?

Large Zip-Ties work quite well for that. Wrap around tent-pole and fixture, under the bulb, of course. Make sure your fixtures won't have any sharp edges against the tent material first.

Thanks Cartman, I'm not trying to have a tent melt or anything bad like that. Good to hear someone has a clue as to what I'm doing.
