U Frame Lighting Truss Aluminium U Frame Lighting Frame

660x500mm Aluminum U-Frame Lighting Truss for Modular Moving Head & Fixture Suspension

Short Description

The DragonStage 660x500mm Aluminum U-Frame Lighting Truss is a compact modular frame designed for suspended or upright stage-lighting configurations. With a 500mm internal width, 50×3mm main tube, and lightweight aluminum construction, multiple U-Frames can be connected to create vertical drops, ladder-style lighting arrays, or custom modular fixture layouts for concerts, clubs, exhibitions, studios, and live events.

Product Information

Product Description

The DragonStage Aluminum U-Frame Lighting Truss is designed for event productions that need individual lighting fixtures to be positioned below, above, or between conventional lighting truss structures.

Unlike a standard straight truss beam, this product creates a dedicated U-shaped lighting module around the fixture position.

The frame measures approximately:

660mm high × 500mm wide × 50mm deep

with an internal lighting space of approximately 500mm.

This compact geometry makes it useful for moving heads, effect lights, and other event fixtures that need a defined mounting position within a modular lighting arrangement.

For other event-lighting structures, see Lighting Truss.

Why Use a U-Frame Instead of a Straight Lighting Bar?

A conventional lighting truss mainly provides a horizontal beam where multiple fixtures are attached.

A U-Frame solves a different problem.

It creates an individual suspended module that can place a fixture:

• below another lighting structure

• between vertical modules

• inside a ladder-style lighting arrangement

• as part of a symmetrical stage-lighting design

• at different vertical levels

This gives lighting designers more freedom to create depth instead of placing every fixture on one horizontal line.

Modular Lighting Layout

The main advantage of the DragonStage U-Frame is its modular concept.

Individual U-Frame sections can be combined to create configurations such as:

• single hanging fixture positions

• double U-Frame combinations

• vertical lighting drops

• ladder-style lighting arrays

• repeated moving-head positions

• symmetrical stage-lighting layouts

• freestanding lighting displays when combined with suitable support components

This makes the product suitable for productions where lighting geometry is part of the visual design.

Designed for Moving Heads and Effect Lighting

The approximately 500mm internal width provides a defined space for mounting compatible lighting fixtures.

Typical applications can include:

• moving-head beam lights

• moving-head wash lights

• LED effect fixtures

• compact stage lights

• club lighting

• exhibition lighting

• visual-effect fixtures

The actual fixture dimensions, mounting hardware, fixture weight, and mounting orientation should be confirmed before production or installation.

50×3mm Aluminum Main Tube

The current product specification uses:

50mm diameter × 3mm wall thickness

aluminum main tube.

This gives the U-Frame the familiar round-tube appearance used throughout many professional stage-lighting structures while keeping the individual module relatively compact and easy to handle.

The unit weight is approximately 2.5kg.

Modular Connection System

Each U-Frame is supplied with connection components so multiple modules can be joined as part of a larger lighting arrangement.

The confirmed configuration includes:

• 2 connectors

• connection pins

• modular frame connection points

This makes it possible to expand the lighting configuration without manufacturing every layout as one permanent welded structure.

For other connectors, clamps, and mounting components, see Truss Accessories.

Suspended or Upright Configuration

The U-Frame concept can be used in different orientations depending on the final stage-lighting design.

Possible configurations include:

• suspended below overhead truss

• vertically stacked

• ladder-style hanging arrangement

• upright lighting frame

• modular display structure

The actual suspension hardware and support arrangement should be selected according to the complete installation.

Why Modular U-Frames Are Useful for Rental Companies

For rental companies, the advantage is not only the U-shape itself.

The same inventory can be rearranged for different shows.

For example, one project may use only several individual U-Frames for moving heads, while another project may combine multiple sections into a longer vertical lighting effect.

This allows one type of component to serve multiple creative layouts.

Important Product Note

The current product information confirms:

• overall dimensions: 660 × 500 × 50mm

• internal width: approximately 500mm

• 50mm main tube diameter

• 3mm tube wall thickness

• aluminum alloy construction

• approximately 2.5kg unit weight

• modular connection concept

• 2 connectors and pins included

The final allowable fixture weight, suspension method, number of vertically connected modules, and complete installation load should be confirmed according to the actual lighting fixture and project configuration.

I recommend not retaining the old 95kg load claim on this page unless DragonStage has its own drawing, calculation, or test basis for this specific product.

FAQ

How much does one U-Frame weigh?
The current product specification lists approximately 2.5kg per frame.

Can moving-head lights be installed inside the frame?
Yes. Moving heads and other stage-lighting fixtures are typical applications, but fixture dimensions and weight should be checked first.

Can multiple U-Frames be connected together?
Yes. The product is designed as a modular system so multiple sections can be combined.

Can it be used vertically?
Yes. U-Frames can be arranged in vertical or ladder-style lighting configurations according to the final support system.

Can it be suspended from a lighting truss?
Yes, when the complete rigging and suspension arrangement is properly configured.

Can it also stand upright?
Yes. It can be incorporated into upright modular lighting structures when combined with suitable base and support components.

Black is the current standard finish shown for this SKU. Other finishes can be discussed for customized orders.

Why Choose DragonStage

DragonStage supplies both complete Lighting Truss systems and smaller modular components for creative event-lighting configurations.

A U-Frame is particularly useful when the lighting designer needs more than a single horizontal beam. The modules can create different fixture heights, vertical drops, repeated patterns, and ladder-style arrangements while remaining reusable for future productions.
