Adapting PA Speaker Stands to Light Stands/Flag Stands- ideas?

So I bought some LED lights off ebay, which came with stands so cheap it'd hard to believe how much worse they could be. They are essentially these stands.

After having my lights fall on concrete, fall in front of clients, fall on my head, I decided that I'd had enough and bought these:

The problem is that they are 35mm speaker tubes standard for speakers, and my lights take the 5/8in light stand adapter.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to convert the 35mm tubes to 5/8 in via some clamp or something of sort? I plan on trying a few things myself but if anyone has any ideas as well before I start hacking and drilling that'd be great. If so, that would be amazing as these stands are ROCK solid and I only paid $44 for the two of them.

Trash the dress video shot with Driftwood Sedna A

A slightly arty trash the dress.

Almost entirely shot with a Panasonic GH2 running Driftwood Sedna A at its highest quality setting.

The timelapse shots were don a a canon 60D & 550D. Motion with a Kessler Crane Philip Bloom Pocket Dolly with electra drive. And some steady cam shots on a Glidecam vest. Some de-noising with neat video for the high iso night shots, Magic bullet looks for grading and then I added varying amounts of Gorilla Grain.

(The dress used here was made almost entirely out of crepe paper, doilies and ribbon.)
