Chauvet Professional RB-F100CM Rig Bar

The Chauvet Professional RB-F100CM is a one-meter (approximately 39-inch) rigging bar designed for mounting and arraying multiple lighting fixtures in a professional touring or permanent installation context. This rigid aluminum truss segment serves as a structural backbone, allowing lighting designers to pre-assemble a cluster of lights—such as moving heads, PAR cans, or LED fixtures—into a single, manageable unit. The rig bar features multiple pre-drilled mounting holes with standard industry spacing, enabling the secure attachment of fixtures using standard bolts or quick-release clamps. Its compact length makes it ideal for creating tight, focused lighting packages that can be easily hung from a larger truss system or flown from motors, streamlining both setup and strike times.

Constructed from high-grade aluminum, the RB-F100CM offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring it can support a significant load while remaining lightweight for easy handling. The bar typically includes integrated rigging points at each end for connection to flying hardware or other truss sections. Some models may feature a black powder-coated finish to reduce light reflection and maintain a professional appearance under stage lighting. By consolidating several fixtures onto one bar, it reduces the number of individual points that need to be addressed during rigging, improving safety and efficiency. It also helps in cable management, as power and data cables for the attached fixtures can be neatly bundled and routed along the bar.

The RB-F100CM is a fundamental tool in the lighting technician's arsenal, used to build custom lighting arrays for concerts, theatrical productions, and corporate events. Its modular design exemplifies the building-block approach of modern stagecraft, where pre-rigged elements are constructed on the ground and then lifted into position. This rig bar enhances production flexibility, allowing for creative lighting designs that can be precisely repeated from show to show.
