Kill a whole day playing a bar gig?

I'm looking to do precisely this, could you post a pic? Curious to see your bracket solution.

We're doing something similar (as documented in the Weekend Warrior Lighting forum)...

... thought it would be fun to work a few nights every week delivering pizzas for Dominoes. I had a wife and three kids and they were usually doing other stuff like homework, etc. and we needed the money. I loved it for about six months and then, one day, I hated it. And that was it. It was like a switch was flipped.

Aughhh - the worst dreams - nay, nightmares - I have on occaision are ones where I dream I am working a former part-time job in the present (on top of family, career, etc). I wake up disoriented and stressed!

Edit: now that I think about, being in band is quite similar to a having a low paying, partially satisying part-time job - not unlike what I had as a young'un. Kind of fun, but kind of not fun at the same time.

Sorry for the delay, Imgur would not upload my pictures until I manually shrank them.

Bracket location on top of cabs.
Lights can be clipped on facing backwards or to either side and can be swivelled by about 45 degrees.

Shape of brackets.

Light clipped onto bracket.
They really need a security chain or lanyard, work in progress!

The brackets posted by @DirtDog look good but would be a bit low on our cabs because the handles are on the sides.
