How about:
||================= ||
||================= || add *2* fixtures *on each side*
||================= || perpendicular
||================= || to the others
||================= ||
||================= || *or-1 48" fixture per side. . . ?*
||================= ||
||================= ||
||================= ||
||================= ||
||================= ||
||================= ||
||================= ||
I dunno why. . . just a twisted aesthetic of balance, I guess.
Hasta,
John

Ok, John, as long as I have you on the line, what do you think of
putting them together like this:
extend current light
bank from 33" to 44"
with 3 additional units
22"
================= || ||
================= || || add 4 fixtures
================= || || perpendicular
================= || || to the others
================= || ||
44"================= || ||
================= || ||
================= || ||
================= || ||
================= || ||
================= || ||
================= || ||
================= || ||
That would give me 32" x 44". Should work!
And much easier than I thought.
Thanks,
Keith

Keith-
That's what I thought you meant. I don't think you'll have a gap at all,
given a 4" clearance and end gap of 2". It would be similar to having your
tubes on 2" centers, which causes a one-inch center of diffusion, which is
of no consequence at all given how all those happy little photons are
crisscrossing each other. AND, there are fixtures available that would
allow you to butt them right up against each other with less than a one-inch
end gap.
Failing all else, I've heard that the Sun is a reliable source for prints of
large dimension.
Some time back we had a lively exchange going here re the question of
clearance distances from tube light sources. I bet a million monopoly
dollars that clearance was not an issue up to fractions of an inch from the
tubes. The proceeds should allow me to retire early to Park Place.
Go easy,
