I'm wondering whether anyone knows how to attach Astera Titan LED Tubes to the edge of a Poly board or 4x4 frame?

I'm wanting to face the tubes inwards towards the frame/poly to create a soft bounce source for fill/room tone. Can't get my head round the best way to rig it. The poly/4x4 would be rental so can't do too crazy a modification. Would ideally like to rig this overhead as well as on a c-stand!
 
You won't get much diffusion if you attach to the edge, and you'd want them at least a foot or so back from your diff to keep it even. If these are your only fixture option, perhaps using a bounce from the Asteras instead?

Yes the idea is to attach it to a 4x4 poly board or a 4x4 muslin as a bounce source
 
Haven't tried it myself, but I've seen climbing straps with loops recommended as a way to mount tubes. This would seem an ideal situation to try that out.
