I thought about mounting them into a regular reflector, but inside of a
UV-absorbing tube. I figured I could make the tube into a wind pipe for
cooling with exhaust out the back of the canopy. Then it seemed like a
lot of work. I might still do that though. I don't know where to buy
optically transparent, UV-absorbing 3" or 4" tube though.
