So my brother and I both kind of decided the lights looked terrible hanging. Not sure why but in my place it just didn't work. Weird because its a very raw, industrial loft, yet the aircraft cable just wasn't looking to great. Sorry no pics cause the camera was dead.

So.....We decided to use 1" electrical conduit pipe attached to the back of the stand to create two light hanging arms. Still need to paint them and actually hang the reflectors from them but I think they will look really slick. I am able to run the lights wiring through the conduit and down behind the tank stand which is great. So no wiring will show

The reflectors are still very easily adjustable for height as well. Just feel this is an all around great solution and only cost about $50 in materials.

I have also found the hardware I will use to hang the doors. Actually its the exact same tract system that "lastlight" used for his doors. After seeing his stand and speaking to him, I decided I also would prefer the doors to slide rather than be on hinges.

I will take some pics of everything soon.
