Just reading this thread with interest.

If someone would like a supply of 50mm steel tube (white powder coated) I have some spare. These are used for mounting LCD projectors to ceilings and I have some spare.

Just give me a shout and I'd be happy to donate 3 or 4. They are 1m long with 10mm diameter holes drilled through at both ends roughly 50mm from the end so still gives a good length of solid tube.

Also another good stand option for converting is a site lighting stand that Wickes sell. It costs about £29.99 (http://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-400W-...light/p/702860) The light comes off the top via a bolt so quite easy to adapt. The legs can also be shortened quite easily to give a smaller footprint.

Cheers

Mark
