It's not my favorite, but like I said earlier the manual for the fixture in question specifically states it can be rigged in "any orientation". Not all fixtures are designed for this, but this one is.
11' span of 1.5" schedule 40 pipe will support 201lbs as a center point load. So the pipe is strong enough. I've attached a screenshot of the loading info from the J.R. Clancy iRigging app.
