LOS ANGELES - Global Truss America, supplier of high-quality stage and lighting trussing, has launched its first-ever lighting product - a color-changing LED truss warmer designed specifically to fit inside the companys square truss. Powered by 9 ultra-bright 1-watt LEDs (3 red, 3, green, 3 blue LEDs), the new TW-RGB9 Truss Warmer uses RGB color mixing to turn any rig into a rainbow of colors, for an amazing uplighting effect at concerts, stage productions, nightclubs, DJ shows or any entertainment venue.

Featuring DMX-512 protocol, the TW-RGB9 can create thousands of dazzling colors, produce stunning color changes, and perform color fades with 0-100% electronic dimming. Its also equipped with pre-programmed color macros and a built-in microphone for sound-active operation, allowing it to be used without a controller.

But what really sets the TW-RGB9 apart is that it was designed from the inside out to serve the function of a truss warmer. Compact in size yet extremely powerful, it has a unique triangular shape, which allows it to be easily inserted into F34 and F44 square truss. Another exclusive feature is the color of its case, a soft silver finish, which blends in perfectly with steel or aluminum trussing.

“There are many lights being used as truss warmers, but the TW-RGB9 is unique in that it was designed specifically for this purpose by a company whose actual expertise is in truss,” said Ken Kahn, national sales manager of Global Truss America. “Because of this, the TW-RGB9 isnt just another great RGB color-mixing LED light, its also got the perfect triangular shape and small footprint to fit trussing, and it looks awesome on stage.”

The TW-RGB9 is also a very versatile light that can be used by professional lighting designers and novices alike. Equipped with 3- and 5-pin DMX connections, the 7-channel unit offers lighting pros the flexibility to blend customized colors and program their own light show with a DMX controller. But for those who dont want to get involved with DMX, the TW-RGB9 also offers a number of exciting “plug and play” modes. There are 5 operating modes in all: Color Macro Mode, Color Fade Mode, RGB Mode, Sound-Active Mode and DMX Control Mode.

Although its a truss “warmer,” the TW-RGB9 will stay cool on stage, thanks to its LED lamps, which generate very little heat. This keeps the temperature more comfortable for performers on stage and club patrons on the dance floor. LEDs are also very energy efficient, and they last many times longer than halogen or discharge lamps, so the TW-RGB9 will save users money on electricity and maintenance costs.

Dealers and rental houses, too, can benefit from carrying a light that was designed as a “partner” for trussing, noted Kahn. “By displaying the TW-RGB9 with Globals truss products, or showing it to customers who rent trussing, dealers can generate extra add-on purchases. The TW-RGB9 looks so good with truss that it pretty much sells itself,” said Kahn.

The TW-RGB9 Truss Warmer has an MSRP of $358.95.
