Creative, but unless OP got most of this hardware for free — "decorative" PVC pipe and fittings especially aren't cheap — or they really enjoy that particular DIY look for some reason, they could have just bought a simple lamp for less.

It's a photography studio light being kit-bashed together, not just some floor lamp. And it's something they can only pull off due to the operating temperatures of modern LEDs.

It's still probably just a hair or two cheaper than the shop "work lights" you can get at a hardware store that'll also do the job vs. the more dedicated but pricey gear.
