My DIY MH light Stand

[Blue Whale]

Hi Blue whale, no treatment has been done for the stand at all.

^^ looks good. Still need to visually check at interval on the bolts for rust. If I am the one doing, I will scrap off the paint, put red paint, re-coat 3 layers of paints to make it lasting. Tried that on my door grills, took me 1 week to finish the job...back breaker job. So far 10 years no rust or paint coming off.

bobian (no choice) leh, once you have your own house, got to do maintainence, things get piled up after 5-10 years, one tend to buy more and more stuffs until the house get "occupied", ventilation of rooms becomes a problem. So far after 10 years, I'd say not a bad job. Keep your top windows open (if any) to ventilate the living room when you not around. Nevermind about the curtains, there should still be ventilating effect there.

Hi felix, I thought of using these too, but the stolman posts will need drillings which I try to avoid. In fact, I have a few stolman posts at home, and I using some of them to fix it at my balcony for my plants instead.

Ohh, Ic you have drill phobia too

Your mounting will still enough to hold the MH-Light's weight, Luckily its same colour as your wall

Wall don't say lah. My walls are greenish blue (Not exactly cyan). 10 years going 11. No issue also. Metal grills are different. Ceilings are the real killer. Neck breakers
