I've got a couple of these LED strips. I figure I've got plenty of color combos to try to get my ATS growing best. I've got a grow light already on one side but it's pretty directional. I need to light the other side and I want to try to get better coverage on this side or replace the grow light completely with this. There are 300 5050 LEDs on this strip. I think I can light the whole thing. The problem is that the strip is laterally very rigid. It bends easily to to wrap around the spool it's shipped on but it won't bend around corners laterally.

I've got some leftover acrylic that I can make something to mount the LEDs on that I can remove, like a cap of some kind. Still the question is how do I mount them? I can figure out how to adhere them I think, but I need some ideas on how to direct the light at the from this strip in one direction.

I've got two controllers for the strips so I could do one strip on each side.

For an ATS?

I'm loking for a way to use the LEDS that I have to light the ATS that I have from both sides.
