That's a great point. I'll definitely want 7 lightening/fixturing holes to go along with the 7 fin design. That will simplify things a great deal. Thanks for replying. I had also originally read your post and looked at your pictures, but couldn't find it again when I was linking to my sources. Your fixture pictures were very helpful.
