This truss lighting clamp is designed for mounting lights and small fixtures to compatible truss tubing.
Typical applications include:
Its compact aluminum construction makes it useful when lighting fixtures need to be mounted directly to compatible truss tubing without adding unnecessary bulk to the setup.
Compatibility
The clamp is specified for:
45–50 mm tube
290mm box truss
290mm tri truss
290mm flat truss
Before ordering, check both the tube diameter and the truss profile.
A product described as a “50mm clamp” is not automatically compatible with every truss system that uses a nominal 50mm tube. Tube shape, actual diameter and mounting arrangement should all be considered.
If your truss is not clearly identified, compare the tube diameter with the specification above before purchasing.
How to Choose the Right Clamp
1. Check the tube diameter
Measure or confirm the outside diameter of the tube that the clamp will surround.
This product is specified for 45–50 mm tube.
2. Check the truss profile
The product is specified for compatible:
290mm box truss
290mm tri truss
290mm flat truss
3. Check the fixture
Confirm that the lighting fixture or small equipment you intend to mount is suitable for the clamp's M10 mounting arrangement and does not exceed the applicable load requirements.
4. Check the complete installation
The clamp's 100 kg maximum load rating should not be interpreted as the load capacity of the complete truss structure.
The truss, fixture, mounting position, orientation and complete installation must all be suitable for the intended application.
Installation Guidance
The wrap-around design allows the clamp to be positioned around a compatible truss tube.
A typical installation process is:
Confirm that the tube is within the specified 45–50 mm range.
Position the clamp correctly around the compatible truss tube.
Make sure the clamp sits properly against the tube.
Secure the clamp using the specified mounting arrangement.
Attach the lighting fixture through the M10 mounting point.
Check the complete assembly before use.
Do not force the clamp onto a tube outside the specified diameter range.
If the clamp does not sit correctly or the mounting interface does not match the fixture, stop the installation and confirm compatibility before continuing.
Load & Safety Considerations
The published maximum load rating for this clamp is 100 kg.
This rating applies to the clamp specification and should not be treated as an automatic load rating for the entire truss or lighting structure.
For safe product selection:
Do not exceed the stated 100 kg maximum load rating.
Confirm that the lighting fixture and mounting hardware are suitable.
Use the clamp only on compatible 45–50 mm tubing.
Make sure the clamp is correctly positioned before loading it.
Inspect the clamp and mounting hardware before use.
Do not use damaged, cracked or visibly deformed components.
For suspended lighting or safety-critical installations, follow the applicable project and venue requirements.
For larger concert structures, suspended lighting systems or other structurally significant installations, the complete configuration should be assessed rather than selecting the clamp based on its load rating alone.
What Else Do You Need?
Required / Usually Needed
For a typical lighting installation, you will need:
Compatible 45–50 mm truss tube or compatible 290mm truss
Suitable lighting fixture or small equipment
Appropriate fixture mounting hardware
The exact mounting hardware required can vary depending on the fixture.
Optional / Expansion
If you are building a complete lighting truss setup, start with Truss & Rigging to select the appropriate truss system.

Quantity Guide
The required quantity depends on the number of fixtures and mounting positions.
For a single compatible lighting fixture, one clamp may be sufficient when the fixture and mounting arrangement are designed for one mounting point.
For multiple lights, calculate the number of clamps based on the actual number of mounting positions.
Do not assume that adding multiple clamps automatically increases the allowable load of the complete system. The complete fixture and truss arrangement must remain suitable for the intended load.
Common Buying Mistakes
Choosing only by the “50mm” name
The actual tube diameter and truss profile should be checked before ordering.
Assuming every 290mm truss is compatible
The product is specified for compatible 290mm box, tri and flat truss. The actual tube interface still needs to match.
Ignoring fixture weight
The clamp has a stated 100 kg maximum load rating, but the fixture, mounting hardware and complete installation must also be suitable for the intended load.
Confusing clamp rating with truss rating
A 100 kg clamp rating does not mean that the complete truss structure can safely support 100 kg at every position.
Using an oversized or undersized tube
The clamp is specified for 45–50 mm tube. Do not force it onto tubing outside this range.
