So I bought myself this 800W Redhead from eBay for £29.80 ( http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140751914206 ), but until it arrives I want to buy a cheap light stand for it. And I don't know which one to get? Which light stand mount will work for mounding an 800W Redhead? And which one of these 2 light stands should I buy? This one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360441970480 or this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261055222703 (first one has a screw at the tip of its mounting knob, and the second one doesn't)

Or would you recommend another light stand for Redhead?

If you have used Redheads before, please reply. Thank you for your advice!

]]> Adapting PA Speaker Stands to Light Stands/Flag Stands- ideas? http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/5870/adapting-pa-speaker-stands-to-light-standsflag-stands-ideas Tue, 22 Jan 2013 15:26:04 +0000 silvertonesx24 5870@/talks/discussions So I bought some LED lights off ebay, which came with stands so cheap it'd hard to believe how much worse they could be. They are essentially these stands.

After having my lights fall on concrete, fall in front of clients, fall on my head, I decided that I'd had enough and bought these:

The problem is that they are 35mm speaker tubes standard for speakers, and my lights take the 5/8in light stand adapter.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to convert the 35mm tubes to 5/8 in via some clamp or something of sort? I plan on trying a few things myself but if anyone has any ideas as well before I start hacking and drilling that'd be great. If so, that would be amazing as these stands are ROCK solid and I only paid $44 for the two of them.
