DIY Lighting Stands

[ahoustondj]

This is another think outside the box project that I wanted to share. In the first three Images, I have used a discarded Lamp Stand. It is built just like a mic Stand. The lamp pole has three sections that has 3 screw joints/sections I have used just one of the sections. I can add more if I want it higher. The light is an ADJ Colorburst 8 DMX
For reference the Light is 28" wide and the stand is 22" tall as seen. Two more pole sections can be added to make it taller. The total height 66" is ideal for a Mini Laser pointed towards a ceiling.

This last Image is the same Light on a discarded Flat Screen TV base. Well suited for this Light. I have two smaller TV bases that I use for my Chauvet Slimpars

I will be using this light for Front Stage Floor use, pointed upwards towards the Singers for performances and Karaoke.

I wouldn't be concerned about something a foot or 2 off the floor....get 5, 6 feet and above; you have a stability issue ands potential for this fixture to be toppled easily.

Liability insurers do not like diy/mickey mouse sorts of things; you just might find yourself without coverage id one of these diy items causes an injury.

BTW, the original Lamp had three fixtures/lights on it and weighed more than the ADJ Light. I have used it at full height before with my Micro Gobo inside my Booth area pointed at the ceiling. I do not plan on using it at full height with the Colorburst unless it will be inside my booth area. Again the Light pictured is mainly for Stage use. With the TV Base for Stage Floor use, with the Light stand for in front of stage use.

Thanks for sharing

Yeah, I'd worry about the stability
with ANY light at ANY height

I used to use microphone stand bases
and bolt the light bracket directly on top
worked great on the floor or on a table...
