Advice On Glass Shelf Supports

[Stuart B]

I bought a couple of ex MFI glass shelves off Ebay and got one ok but awaiting a replacement for the other as it was in bits . They are 800mm x 200mm x 6mm . I have bought 6 brackets which are

110mm deep similar to I'm not sure if I should use 3 per shelf or if 2 will do.

I've been Googling to see if I can find suggestions for how many brackets are needed for certain lengths but so far haven't found anyhting . Any ideas ?

If supported at the ends, with a uniform load of 10 lbs per foot, the shelf would only sag by 1.21mm.
