What I did was figure where the panel was going to end up, stick it on the ceiling with the 3M tape and then cover with the fixture. My pictures don't do the illumination justice, they actually do a good job. The 36 SMD panels are dimmer but that's how I like it, anyway. Have you ever been camping where a guy breaks out a Maglite in the middle of the night? I also used the 36 panels for reading lights.
Those frames look like they were made for the led's, and a light in the shower, great idea!

I know you know the LED's in and out, UP but maybe another newbie like myself will take a look and decide to use them.
I installed the last through hole into the roof, the vent for the propane heater:

The stack is 20" above the roof. It leaves me with a 10' clearance, almost exactly. Guidelines call for a minimum of 1' for a flat roof but that would mean 3 joints in the pipe. I thought this was a better solution. I may need to rethink that when a branch takes off the cap, lol:
