Default Poor LA quilter's light system

I wanted to post this in pictures so anyone who wants a light system for their LA machine and doesn't want to spend hundreds of $ can build their own (with the help of DH). The height and length of mine is 7' tall by 12'6" long. It is secured to the frame with clamps and screws (even put a rubber leg caps on to protect the carpet). Because of my anal personality I had my DH cut holes in the top of the pipe so all the electrical would be running through the pipe, not sitting on top and the lights would be flush with the pipe.

Specs:
Galvanized lead pipe 1 1/2" dia.
5 metal shaded clip-on lights (used in shops and garages); the clips come off
electrical cord (for rewiring lamps into one single power source.

Total cost about $130
