Light hanging question

I got a photon48 for Xmas and was wondering how everyone mounts there's??
I have 12 foot ceilings and currently have it suspended from shelf L brackets but don't really like the way it looks.

Suggestions and maybe pictures would be greatly appreciated
 
personally I think that is killer. I would complete it with a shelf for storage and call it good.
 
If you put a shelf with plant pictures ect. It will draw your eyes as well so you aren't looking at the l brackets which is what I am guessing you don't like
 
How wide is the distance from the wall to where the clips are? Cut a couple of strips of wood about 2-3" wide and what ever that depth is to bring shelf above the clips you have going through the holes on the brackets. Then cut your shelf piece about 6-8" beyond the angle brackets, so that the shelf hands beyond the actual light unit.

Make up a curtain type material or something similar to what would see around a banquet table... I want to say they call it a table bunting or something like that. Connect it to the outside edge of the shelf you made, so that it hangs just beyond the fixture and hides it.

Cheap curtain from Wal-Mart for like $5.00.

Kelley if don't mind me asking what did you use to mount those in the wall? You screw directly into a stud or did you use an anchor of some kind? I am not handy in that way at all lol, I had to have a buddy of mine help me hang mine from my ceiling lol.
 
Thought this might help rather than trying to imagine what I am trying to type. Curtain should wrap around the wood and be removable for laundering

I use 80/20 aluminum profile. which can hide all the wires and super easy to DIY.
