Introduction

This guide will walk you through the different ways to position and mount your Rockville Five Eye Light using the included mounting bracket. Whether you want to place the light on the floor or mount it to a truss, these instructions are simple and easy to follow, even for beginners.

What You’ll Need

• Rockville Five Eye Light 
• Included mounting bracket 
• Lighting clamps 
• Truss system (optional) 
• Wrench or suitable tool for tightening hardware 

Understanding the Mounting Bracket

Step 1: Locate the Adjustable Bracket

The Five Eye Light includes a mounting bracket already attached to the fixture.

The bracket allows you to:

• Adjust the angle of the light 
• Position the light on a flat surface 
• Mount the light onto a truss system 

Adjusting the Light Angle

Step 2: Loosen the Side Knobs

On each side of the fixture, you will find adjustment knobs.

To reposition the light:

1. Loosen the knobs on both sides of the bracket. 
2. Move the bracket up or down to your desired angle. 
3. Tighten the knobs again to lock the light into place. 

This allows you to aim the light exactly where needed.

Using the Light on the Floor

Step 3: Position the Light on a Flat Surface

The bracket can also act as a support stand.

To use the light on the floor:

1. Adjust the bracket angle as needed. 
2. Place the fixture on a stable, flat surface. 
3. Make sure the light is secure and balanced before use. 

This setup works well for:

• Floor lighting effects 
• Wall washes 
• Stage uplighting 

Mounting the Light to a Truss

Step 4: Identify the Mounting Holes

The bracket includes three mounting holes that can be used to attach lighting clamps.

You can use:

• The center hole 
• Either of the two outer holes 

In this example, the outer holes are used for mounting.

Step 5: Attach the Lighting Clamps

To attach a clamp:

1. Remove the bolt, washer, and nut from the lighting clamp. 
2. Line up the clamp with one of the mounting holes on the bracket. 
3. Insert the bolt through both the clamp and bracket hole. 
4. Reattach the washer and nut underneath. 
5. Tighten securely. 

Repeat the same process for the second clamp on the opposite side.

Mounting the Fixture on the Truss

Step 6: Secure the Light to the Truss

Once both clamps are attached:

1. Lift the fixture carefully. 
2. Position the clamps onto the truss. 
3. Tighten the butterfly screws on the clamps until the fixture is secure. 

Make sure:

• The light is firmly attached 
• The fixture does not move or wobble 
• All hardware is tightened properly 

Final Setup

Step 7: Connect Power and DMX Cables

After mounting the fixture:

1. Connect the power cable. 
2. Connect DMX cables if using DMX control. 
3. Route cables neatly and safely around the truss. 

Your light is now ready to use in your lighting setup.

Troubleshooting & FAQs

The Fixture Feels Loose on the Truss

Try the following:

• Tighten the butterfly screws fully 
• Check that the clamps are installed correctly 
• Confirm the bolts and nuts are secure 

The Light Does Not Stay at the Desired Angle

Possible solutions:

• Tighten the side adjustment knobs more firmly 
• Make sure the bracket is positioned evenly on both sides 

Can I Use Only One Clamp?

While some setups may allow it, using two clamps provides better stability and security when mounting to a truss.

Can the Light Be Used Without a Truss?

Yes. The included bracket allows the fixture to sit securely on the floor or other flat surfaces.

Conclusion

The Rockville Five Eye Light offers flexible mounting and positioning options for both portable and permanent lighting setups. You can easily adjust the angle, place it on the floor, or securely mount it to a truss using lighting clamps.
