Tomcat debuts Lighting Pod & Zig-Zag

USA - Tomcat launched a new Lighting Pod at LDI 2018. The product offers lighting designers a much broader canvas for their creations and affords them the opportunity to present 'walls of light' on a much larger scale than with traditional truss profiles. Extreme adjustability and flexibility allow for the use of multiple lighting options within one framework that can be utilised both vertically and horizontally.
The Lighting Pod is constructed from 2” x 1/8” and 1 ½” x 1/8” tubes for strength and durability, and measures a healthy 6ft x 2.6ft x 6ft for extending your lighting wall possibilities. Stable stacking and convenient transport are ensured with steel spigots, forklift pockets and heavy-duty casters.
Also unveiled at LDI, Tomcat’s new Zig-Zag Truss is a unique concept that combines the advantages of pre-rigged truss - efficient truck packing and speedy load-in/load-out - with a hinging spigot design that allows folding of the truss system over itself for efficient storage/travel and trouble-free unfolding via vertical lift and pinning applications.
The strength found in Zig-Zag truss comes from its 2” x 3/16” chords, 1 ½” x 1/8” small horizontal tubes, 2” x 1/8” large horizontal/vertical tubes, and 21” x 1/8” diagonals. It also features steel spigots, ¼” end plates and 2” round studs for extended stability and durability.
