What stands and mounts are there for lighting?

The main options: classic tripods with a telescopic tube for fixtures on stage and at events; wind-up stands with a winch for lifting heavy sets; T-bars that let you put several fixtures on one stand; clamps for hanging on truss or a tube; wall and ceiling mounts for fixed installation; low base stands for lighting from below. The choice depends on fixture weight, the height needed and whether it's a fixed install or a get-out. We'll suggest stands and mounts for your set and venue.

A T-bar is a horizontal crossbar mounted on top of a stand that lets you attach several fixtures at once. This turns one tripod into a mini truss: for example, several LED PARs on the sides or a pair of effects in the centre. Fixtures are attached with yoke brackets, spread along the bar and locked in position. It's a quick and compact solution for small stages, discos and get-outs. Mind the total weight of fixtures on the bar relative to the stand's limit. We'll suggest a T-bar for your fixtures. We'll suggest a configuration for your set.

Why a wind-up stand with a winch?

A wind-up stand has a winch with a crank that raises the sections smoothly and under control. This is needed when the set is heavy and lifting it by hand is awkward or unsafe: the winch takes the load, one person can rig it, and the height is easy to adjust with equipment already mounted. Such stands usually have higher load limits and a sturdier build, so they're chosen for rental and serious sets. For light fixtures a regular tripod is enough. We'll suggest a wind-up for your weight and height. We'll suggest a stand for your set.

How to set up stands safely at events?

Place stands on a level, firm surface, fully open the tripod legs and check the height locks. Route cables so nobody catches on them, and if needed weigh the stands down or fence them off from the audience. Outdoors, account for wind: tall stands with fixtures catch a lot of it, so ballast is needed or you give up on great height. Don't overload the stand beyond its limit and don't raise fixtures higher than the construction allows. We'll advise how to rig safely. Call for a consultation.

Stands and Mounts for Lighting Fixtures

Q: How to calculate the load?

The key parameter of a stand or clamp is the maximum working load stated by the manufacturer. Count the total weight of all fixtures, the T-bar, cables and mounts, and leave a margin — working at the limit is not acceptable. Also keep in mind that at height and when fixtures are cantilevered to the side, the load is distributed unevenly and the stand becomes less stable. Never exceed the manufacturer's stated limit and don't improvise with homemade mounts. We'll help compare your set's weight with the stand's specs. We'll suggest a stand for your fixtures' weight.

Q: Is a safety cable needed?

Yes — every time a fixture hangs above people or above the stage. A safety cable is a secondary attachment: if the clamp loosens or the primary mount fails, the cable holds the fixture from falling. It's routed through the fixture's body or a dedicated eye and around the truss, not just through the clamp. The cable must be rated for the fixture's weight and free of damage. This is a basic rule of safe rigging that shouldn't be neglected. We'll suggest clamps and cables for your fixtures. We'll suggest safe mounting for your rig.
