A lighting truss is a modular aluminum structure used to support lighting equipment, LED screens, and stage elements in events, concerts, and exhibitions. It provides a stable, load-bearing framework for safely mounting lighting systems.
With the innovation of science and technology, more metal structures are used in event production. One of the most important systems is the lighting truss.
A lighting truss is a type of event truss designed specifically to hold lighting fixtures and visual equipment. It is typically made from aluminum alloy for strength and lightweight performance.

Lighting trusses are widely used in:
Concert stages
Live events
Exhibitions
DJ setups
Outdoor festivals
Their main function is to support lighting equipment and create a structured visual environment.

Lighting trusses come in different forms depending on structure:
Box truss → box truss system
Triangle truss → triangle truss
Spigot truss → standard spigot truss

→ aluminum vs steel truss
Lighting trusses are designed based on engineering principles to ensure:
Load-bearing capacity
Wind resistance
Structural integrity

To safely support lighting equipment and improve stage performance.
Mostly aluminum alloy (6061-T6 / 6082-T6).
Typically 10+ years with proper maintenance.
Lighting truss is a fundamental structure in modern event production. Its performance depends on material quality, structural design, and proper installation.

The DragonStage 8x6x3m Aluminum Lighting Truss System is a freestanding rectangular lighting grid designed for concerts, exhibitions, ceremonies, corporate events, and temporary productions. The system provides an 8m wide × 6m deep × 3m high overhead truss area supported by four ground-support towers, creating multiple positions for stage lighting and event equipment
The DragonStage 3x3m Aluminum Goal Post Truss is a freestanding modular truss structure designed for sports events, entrances, branding, banners, lighting, and temporary event displays. The structure measures 3m wide × 3m high, with a 2.5m deep base frame extending along the ground on both sides.
The DragonStage 4x4m Ringlock FOH Platform / VIP Viewing Platform is a modular elevated structure for front-of-house control use or temporary VIP viewing use. The main platform is 4m wide and 4m deep, with a 1.5m platform height and a total structure height of 4.5m. A side 2m small platform with stair access makes entry safer and more practical for event operations
The DragonStage 12x4x8m Ringlock LED Screen and Line Array Hanging Structure is a double-row temporary event support system designed for hanging both LED screens and line array speakers. The overall structure is 12m wide, 4m deep, and 8m high, with a front row height of 8m and a rear row height of 4m. The top is equipped with 6 top section trusses for LED screen and speaker suspension.
