Reefing is a state of mind, Nana? Some people think I've lost my mind, lol.
It is looking great, Devin.

Personally, I think we all have.... I mean, a lot of times reefing is just like just lighting money on fire just because you like to watch it burn....

My first thought would be to use 2 pieces of 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" aluminum angle. Might have to find 2" x 2" for load bearing. Or 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" aluminum square tube.
Span the opening like you did already.
Drill 4 holes in both pieces to match up with the holes in the top of the lights.
Then find 8, 316 stainless machine screws that has the same thread pattern. When I'm looking for a very specific screw/bolt thread pattern I go to Tacoma Screw.
If you use metal, I would only use aluminum. I've seen some aluminum angle at Lowes, but most of it was pretty flimsy. Got to be careful that whatever you use doesn't flex and drop the lights in the water.
