The Light Source Mega-Clamp Black Anodized is a professional-grade, heavy-duty mounting clamp engineered for securing large lighting fixtures and production equipment to structural pipes, battens, and trussing in demanding theatrical, concert, and installation environments. The black anodized finish provides a durable, corrosion-resistant surface that also serves to minimize light reflection, maintaining a clean and unobtrusive appearance above stages and sets. Anodization hardens the surface of the aluminum, increasing its resistance to wear and abrasion from frequent use and handling. This clamp is constructed from high-tensile aluminum alloy or steel, achieving an optimal balance between exceptional strength and reduced weight, which is a critical consideration for touring riggers managing large quantities of hardware.

The clamp features a robust jaw design capable of accommodating larger diameter schedule 40 and schedule 80 pipes commonly used in heavy-load applications. The primary tightening mechanism employs a substantial bolt, often fitted with an ergonomic T-handle, which drives a pressure plate to securely grip the pipe without marring its surface. A key safety component integrated into the design is a secondary locking pin or bolt. This feature acts as a mechanical fail-safe, preventing the fixture from detaching even if the main clamping force is inadvertently released, adhering to rigorous industry safety standards for overhead rigging. The top of the clamp is equipped with a standard 5/8-inch receiver or a threaded stud, providing a universal interface for attaching the yoke of a lighting fixture or other mounting hardware.

Designed for reliability under significant static and dynamic loads, the Mega-Clamp is a cornerstone of safe rigging practice. It is trusted for suspending heavy moving lights, LED video panels, and scenic elements where safety and security are paramount. Its combination of high clamping force, integrated safety locking, and a durable anodized finish makes it a preferred choice for professional riggers, production companies, and installers who require a dependable and long-lasting clamping solution for the most challenging overhead applications.
