Nice.
I think it will look better with the plastic pipes gone!
For the power supply, pull it to the rod and then run the wire along its length... |

@Amit Ghosh & Deathstar
Thanks a lot for your appreciation .
As far the material concerned, i tried with the items readily available in any hardware shop .
for the frame : used 6inch ply
for the cover : Metal sheet.
For light : 2 x 36W PL light .
2 ballast
Whole structure can be dismantled when needed as it does not have permanent joint.
@jack86 : thanks a lot and you have correctly pointed out the plastic pipe . need to do some improvisation on that part . also the wiring part too.
Hope that helps you all 
Cheers 
Srab |

the stand looks good, srab 
if u could put the wire in the rod, as jack suggests, it would take it to a different level altogether.
did u have to bend the metal sheet? never saw any being sold in that nice arch. |

This is really nice looking light fixture.
The bend on the sheet is very neat. Is it normal GI sheet or what. |
