If you can’t drill the wall I’d get some white gaff, tape down behind the tube taping 2 pieces of steel under the tape. Then grab a couple of ‘1/4″ Neodymium Rubber Coated Pot Magnet’ (search ebay for that, should bring them up) and put those onto the tube to magnetically attach to those bits of steel under the tape.
Even then you have to be careful, any tape or velcro can fill you with confidence until it doesn’t! If you can ever drill the set for situations like this it’s always best.
This may be a little on the late side and also possibly unhelpful. Below is a still taken for a ptc that I shot a little while back. We used haze and placed a daylight balanced 500w cob led fresnel fixture outside of the barn maxed out at 100% (you can see it pushing through the haze on the left of frame).
The reason that it might be vaguely helpful is that I believe this fixture is very roughly comparable to a 2k fresnel (the led may have a little bit more punch up it’s sleeve and is of course a different colour temp). The reasons that it may not be helpful are numerous but hopefully it can give a kind of guide as to what kind of output that fixture may be able to realise.
If you plan to shoot towards either end of the day when the ambient light levels are lower this will help your cause but I’m not sure that you’ll easily be able to get to the point of being able to use substantial diffusion with your fixture as well if only using a 2k. As has previously been mentioned, a fixture with more punch may well be the best way forward if you’re looking to create that much of an extreme effect.
I hope all goes well!
