ROCKPAR50: How To Position, Mount & Power

Introduction

The Rockville ROCKPAR 50 PAR Can Wash Light is a versatile lighting solution that can be placed in multiple configurations depending on your setup. Whether you are wall washing, mounting on a truss, lighting up a DJ facade, or using a totem stand, this guide will walk you through the best placement methods step by step.

Attaching the Mounting Bracket

Before placing your light, you may need to attach the mounting bracket. Here’s how:

Step 1: Gather the Bracket and Mounting Hardware

• Take the bracket and two screw knobs with washers.

Step 2: Secure the Bracket

1. Run a washer through each screw knob.
2. Insert the screw knobs through the holes on both sides of the bracket.
3. Place a washer on the opposite end of each screw knob.
4. Align the bracket with the screw holes on the light.
5. Tighten the knobs to secure the bracket.

💡 Tip: If you've already plugged in your power cable, be mindful of it while attaching the bracket. Alternatively, attach the bracket before plugging in the power cable.

📌 Daisy Chaining Power

• The Power Out port allows you to electrically daisy chain multiple lights together for synchronized operation.

Placement Options

1. Wall Washing Placement

Wall washing is a great way to create a smooth, colorful backdrop. There are two ways to do this:

Method 1: Without the Bracket

• Use the rubber feet on the bottom of the light.
• Place the light completely flush against the wall.
• The light will shine directly upwards, covering the wall.

Method 2: With the Bracket

• Spread out the bracket’s legs to position the light at an angle.
• Place the light a few inches away from the wall.
• Adjust the angle to control how the light hits the wall.

2. Mounting on a Truss

For overhead or stage lighting, mount the ROCKPAR 50 to a truss using a lighting clamp.

Step 1: Prepare the Clamp

• Take a lighting clamp (such as the Rockville LC70).
• Remove the bolt from the bottom of the clamp.

Step 2: Attach Clamp to the Bracket

• Run the bolt through both bracket holes.
• You may need to pinch the arms of the bracket to align the holes.
• Screw the clamp back onto the bolt.

Step 3: Secure to the Truss

• Loosen the butterfly screw on the clamp.
• Position the clamp onto an open spot on the truss.
• Tighten the butterfly screw to secure the light.

3. DJ Facade Lighting

This setup works similarly to wall washing.

• Use the same placement techniques as wall washing.
• Keep in mind the size of your DJ facade—larger facades may require multiple lights for full illumination.

4. Using a Totem Stand

Placing the ROCKPAR 50 inside a totem stand creates a stunning up lighting effect.

Step 1: Remove the Bracket

• If the bracket is attached, remove it as it’s not needed for this setup.

Step 2: Place the Light in the Totem

1. Lift up the scrim of your totem stand.
2. Place the light at the bottom inside the stand.
3. Bring the scrim back down over the light.

Finalizing Your Setup

Once the light is placed and secured, you can:

• Select the appropriate color or mode for your setup.
• Experiment with different angles to achieve the best effect.

The Rockville ROCKPAR 50 PAR Can Wash Light offers flexible placement options for wall washing, DJ facades, truss mounting, and totem stand setups. With adjustable brackets, daisy-chaining capabilities, and multiple lighting modes, it’s an excellent choice for DJs, event setups, and stage productions.
