ACC-T: How To Mount Lights

Introduction

The Rockville ACC Lighting Tree provides a stable and adjustable stand for mounting PAR lights, wedge lights, and other stage lighting. This guide will walk you through attaching the lighting tree to the stand, setting up the arms, and mounting different types of lights.

Step 1: Attaching the Lighting Tree to the Stand

1. Locate the knob on the bottom of the lighting tree and loosen it.
2. Align the hole at the base of the tree with the top of the stand.
3. Slide the lighting tree onto the stand and ensure it is secure.
4. Tighten the knob at the bottom to lock the tree in place.

Step 2: Setting Up the Tree Arms

The lighting tree features four arms, allowing you to mount two rows of lights.

1. Raise each arm one at a time into the upward position.
2. Insert a safety pin through the hole to secure the arm in place.
3. Repeat for all four arms.

Tip: The back of the tree is where the safety pin wires are visible. If you prefer a cleaner look, rotate the lighting tree so the wires face away from the audience.

Step 3: Mounting PAR Lights

1. Prepare the Hardware

• Each mounting bolt consists of:
  • A bolt
  • Two washers
  • A wing nut

2. Attach the Light

1. Remove the wing nut and one washer from the mounting bolt.
2. Insert the bolt (with one washer still attached) through a hole on the lighting tree.
3. Reattach the second washer from the bottom to prevent scratching.
4. Slide the PAR light’s bracket onto the bolt.
5. Secure the wing nut tightly onto the bottom of the bolt.

Repeat these steps to attach additional PAR lights to the tree.

Step 4: Mounting Wedge Lights (Without a Bracket)

If you’re using wedge lights with built-in mounting holes, follow these steps:

1. Remove the wing nut and one washer from the bolt.
2. Insert the bolt (with one washer still attached) through a hole on the lighting tree.
3. Place the second washer on the bottom side of the bolt.
4. Align the wedge light’s screw hole with the bolt and screw it onto the bolt manually.
5. If the light still moves slightly, use a wrench to hold the bolt in place while tightening.

Repeat for additional wedge lights.

Step 5: Final Adjustments

• Ensure all lights are securely mounted.
• Position lights evenly for a balanced setup.
• Make final height adjustments using the stand’s height adjustment knob.

Conclusion

Setting up your Rockville ACC Lighting Tree is quick and easy, allowing for a professional lighting setup in just a few steps. Whether using PAR lights, wedge lights, or other fixtures, this stand provides stability and flexibility for DJs, bands, and stage performances.
