Technical production uses

The production brief determines the structure.

Spans, goalposts, towers and grids configured around fixture positions, cables, focusing access and the lighting design.

For event lighting support, the first decision is not “how many truss pieces?” It is what the structure must achieve, what it supports, where it sits and which venue conditions shape the build.

What to measure

Provide exact equipment makes, models, dimensions, verified weights and positions, plus the required clear opening, trim height, service access, cable routes and support method.

Useful size references for this use case include 3–6 m lighting bar, 20 × 10 ft lighting goalpost, 6 × 4 m grid, Custom production grid.

Who to coordinate

The responsible technical suppliers must agree interfaces and load information. A truss quotation should state where the structure scope ends and screen, lighting, sound, scenic, power or platform responsibility begins.

The event brief should cover front key lighting, stage effects, ballroom lighting before equipment is reserved.
