632x210x165mm Black Aluminum U-Frame Top Drop Arm for Moving Head Lighting

Short Description

The DragonStage 632x210x165mm Aluminum U-Frame Top Drop Arm is a modular suspension component designed for 500mm-wide U-Frame lighting systems. It provides the upper hanging point for moving-head lights and modular lighting-frame arrangements, and includes half connectors, pins with R-clips, and M12 eyebolts for integration into suspended or ladder-style lighting configurations.

Product Information

The current DragonStage page lists the dimensions, 500mm module width, 6061 material, connectors, pins, R-clips, and M12 eyebolts. Its existing pipe-diameter and wall-thickness fields are reversed; comparable technical listings confirm the intended format as 50mm diameter × 3mm wall thickness.

• module interior width: 50 cm

• modular System for suspended lights

• hanging modul for U-Frame 50

• incl. 2x half connector, pin + R-Clip and M12 eyebolts

U-Frame 50 and U-Top 50 are available as standard in silver and black. Other colors on request.

Product Description

The DragonStage U-Frame Top Drop Arm is the upper suspension component used to connect a modular U-Frame lighting section to an overhead rigging point or supporting truss system.

Unlike the U-shaped frame itself, this product sits at the top of the lighting module.

Its main function is to provide:

• an upper suspension point

• connection to the U-Frame below

• support for modular vertical lighting layouts

• a clean transition between the overhead rigging system and the fixture frame

The module has an interior system width of approximately 500mm, matching compatible U-Frame lighting configurations.

For the complete family of event-lighting structures, see Lighting Truss.

Top Module for 500mm U-Frame Lighting Systems

This product should be understood as part of a modular system.

A typical arrangement can include:

Overhead Truss → Top Drop Arm → U-Frame → Moving Head / Fixture

The top module creates the suspension connection, while the U-Frame below provides the fixture mounting space.

This separation makes the complete lighting structure easier to expand, change, or reconfigure for different productions.

Designed for Moving Head Lighting

The top drop arm can be combined with U-Frame modules used for:

• moving-head beam lights

• moving-head wash lights

• LED effects

• stage fixtures

• club lighting

• concert lighting

• exhibition lighting

The exact lighting fixture should be checked for:

• fixture width

• fixture height

• fixture weight

• hanging orientation

• required mounting hardware

For related lighting products, see Stage Light.

632 × 210 × 165mm Compact Module

The confirmed overall size is:

632 × 210 × 165mm

This compact geometry allows the top component to connect a 500mm-wide U-Frame system without requiring a large conventional box-truss section at every fixture position.

That makes it useful for creative lighting structures where the lighting modules themselves are intended to remain visually light and compact.

50 × 3mm Aluminum Main Tube

The main tube specification should be written as:

50mm diameter × 3mm wall thickness

The current DragonStage page has these two fields reversed, which should be corrected during the page upgrade. 

The listed material is:

Aluminum Alloy 6061-T6

This keeps the component lightweight enough for modular stage-lighting use while matching the round-tube appearance commonly used in professional lighting structures.

Included Connection Hardware

The confirmed package includes:

• 2 half connectors

• connection pins

• R-clips

• M12 eyebolts

These components allow the top module to connect into a compatible modular lighting system.

For other connectors, clamps, and related hardware, see Truss Accessories.

Suspended Lighting Configuration

The M12 eyebolts provide dedicated suspension points for the top module.

Depending on the final setup, the module can be incorporated into a suspended lighting arrangement using appropriate rigging hardware.

Possible configurations include:

• single U-Frame drop

• multiple suspended lighting modules

• double lighting drops

• repeated vertical fixture positions

• ladder-style lighting arrays

The actual rigging method should be confirmed according to the complete lighting layout.

Why Use a Separate Top Drop Arm?

A separate upper module makes the lighting system more flexible.

Instead of welding the hanging point permanently into each U-Frame, the top section and U-Frame can remain separate modular components.

This allows the user to:

• reuse the same U-Frame inventory

• change hanging configurations

• build different vertical arrangements

• replace individual parts

• simplify transport and storage

This is especially useful for rental companies and touring productions where the same equipment may be arranged differently from event to event.

Different from the U-Frame Itself

This product is not the complete U-shaped lighting frame.

It is the upper suspension module used together with the frame.

For example:

• U-Frame: holds or surrounds the lighting fixture

• Top Drop Arm: connects the U-Frame system to the upper suspension point

Keeping these two products on separate pages is useful because customers may need replacement top modules without buying new U-Frames.

Important Product Note

The current page confirms:

• 500mm module interior width

• 632 × 210 × 165mm dimensions

• 6082-T6 aluminum

• connection hardware

• M12 eyebolts

• modular suspended-lighting application

The current page also states a 95kg point-load figure, but the wording closely matches an external system specification rather than a DragonStage-specific test or engineering record. 

For that reason, I recommend not publishing 95kg as a confirmed DragonStage allowable load unless you have your own calculation, test report, or technical drawing supporting it.

The same applies to the maximum number of vertically connected modules.

What is the overall size?
The module measures approximately 632 × 210 × 165mm.

What U-Frame width does it match?
It is designed around a modular system with approximately 500mm internal width.

What tube size is used?
The main tube should be specified as 50mm diameter × 3mm wall thickness.

What material is used?
The current product specification lists 6082-T6 aluminum alloy.

What hardware is included?
The package includes 2 half connectors, pins, R-clips, and M12 eyebolts.

What are the M12 eyebolts used for?
They provide suspension points for integrating the module into a compatible overhead rigging arrangement.

Is this the complete U-Frame?
No. This is the top suspension module. The U-shaped fixture frame is a separate component.

Can it be used with moving-head lights?
Yes. It is designed as part of a modular moving-head and stage-lighting system.

Can several U-Frames be installed vertically?
Modular vertical arrangements are possible, but the number of modules, fixture weight, and complete suspended load should be confirmed for the actual project.

Can I buy this as a replacement part?
Yes. It can be supplied as an individual module for compatible DragonStage U-Frame systems.

Can the color be customized?
Black is the listed finish for this SKU. Other finishes can be discussed for production orders.

Why Choose DragonStage

DragonStage supplies complete Lighting Truss systems as well as individual modular components.

For rental and touring applications, replacing or expanding one top module is often more practical than replacing an entire lighting frame.

The modular approach allows U-Frames, top suspension components, fixtures, and transport systems to be selected according to the actual production layout.
