Thanks HP for answering the techincal part of the question.
As far as my mounting system, the changes I made are as follows:
1) I made the tube 4" instead of 3". This allows you to sink the Bottle cap containing the LED's deeper into the tube. This keeps the light more focused (Narrower beam) and more importantly it makes it easier to keep it out of the TOT's and neighbors eyes wlile still lighting the target. I take great care to focus (aim) my lights to not bother my neighbors or blind the TOT's (unless it's intentional for a special effect)).
2) I decided that I didn't want to carry a tool around with me to adjust the lights throughout the season. I ended up useing a #8X2" bolt with a #8 wingnut and a washer for my up and down adjustment.
3) I drilled a hole in every mounting plate so I could use a zip-tie or a screw to mount to just about anything quickly and easily.
4) I ditched the rubber bands to secure the vampire clips to the wire. The ones I bought decayed after 3 months. I found Black hair ties at the local dollar store. Hopefully that will be a longer lasting solution. Also, instead of just going around the clip I actiually go around the wire twice to help secure the pigtails to the fixtures as well as the vampire clip.

Here are some daytime pics of the finished lights.
A grouping mounted on my 150 year old oak tree
Mounted to my RR Tie wall: Note the connection to the main wire.
A ground cluster of 6 colored lights for the Gravestones, and two single white spots on the groundbreaker.
Another set mounted to my old Oak Tree. I set these up for ME to light up a frequently traveled area at nigjht as I adjust everything. On halloween I'll spin them around and aim them elsewhere. Note the wingnut on the new models.
Mounted to my new PVC Walk-through tent. Zip ties are the other tinker toy for Haunters LOL
