Every set is put together by experienced technicians so the components truly work as one system.

Whether you run a mobile DJ rig, light a band stage or equip a club, a complete set saves you time, money and compatibility headaches. Instead of piecing together individual fixtures, you unpack, set up and start creating a real wow effect.

Browse our range of professional show technology and find the optimal solution for your next event — from compact entry-level bundles to fully expandable pro rigs built around our own manufacturing expertise.

What Is Included in an LTT Complete Lighting Set: Fundamentals

A complete set is a fully assembled lighting solution that contains every core component you need to get started — with no additional accessories required. Unlike buying single fixtures, where you must match power ratings, mounting hardware and controllers yourself, a complete set is pre-configured and coordinated by experts so it works out of the box.

What sets it apart from single products

When you buy an individual moving head or a single PAR can, you still need stands, cables, clamps and a control unit to actually run a show. A complete set closes that gap: it bundles the fixtures together with everything required to power, mount, control and transport them. This guarantees component compatibility and removes the risk of ordering a controller that cannot address your fixtures or a stand that cannot bear the load.

Typical contents

Most complete lighting sets from LTT include:

• Lighting fixtures (PAR cans, moving heads, effect lights or bars)
• A lighting stand or truss element for mounting
• The necessary DMX and power cabling
• A control unit or DMX controller
• A coordinated accessory package

This plug-and-play philosophy means you can move from delivery to a working setup in a fraction of the time. A complete set is ideal for beginners who want a reliable start, yet many configurations remain expandable so professionals can grow the rig as their requirements increase. That combination of immediate usability and long-term flexibility is exactly what makes a complete set such a practical purchase.

Components Explained: Lighting, Stands, Cabling and DMX Control

Understanding the individual components of a complete set helps you judge quality and plan your setup. Each part of an LTT complete lighting set fulfils a specific role, and all parts are matched to one another.

Lighting and light control

The fixtures are the heart of the set — PAR cans for washes, moving heads for dynamic beams, or LED bars for stage backdrops. Control happens via a DMX controller: each fixture is assigned a DMX address, then the fixtures are chained together over DMX cables so a single controller can command the whole rig. Sets typically indicate the number of DMX channels per fixture, which determines how many parameters (dimming, colour, movement) you can control.

Stands and mounting

Every complete set includes a way to elevate the fixtures — usually a lighting stand or a truss element. Stands specify a maximum load and height; for example, a light stand may carry a rated load and extend to a defined working height. For larger rigs, truss integration allows you to build a stable overhead structure.

Cabling and power distribution

A set contains the DMX signal cables plus the mains cabling needed to power the fixtures. Pay attention to total power draw so you can plan power distribution and avoid overloading a circuit.

Accessory package

Safety cables, clamps and a transport solution round out the package. To extend your rig, take a look at our cables and connectors range and lighting control section. Coordinated components mean beeindruckende results with far less setup effort.

Applications and Use: Where Complete Sets Perform

Complete sets are used wherever coordinated lighting has to be deployed quickly and reliably. Mapping a set to your specific scenario is the fastest route to the optimal solution.

Mobile DJ and small events

For mobile DJs, a compact complete set on lighting stands is ideal: it fits in a car, sets up in minutes and delivers a full show. Bars, effect lights and a small DMX controller create atmosphere in bars, private parties and smaller venues.

Band stages and live music

Bands and live venues benefit from sets with moving heads and washes that put performers in Szene. Truss-based sets provide the overhead structure needed for a proper stage look.

Clubs, theatres and houses of worship

Clubs, theatres and churches often need repeatable, controllable lighting scenes. A complete set with a programmable DMX controller lets you save and recall looks reliably.

Trade-show booths and corporate events

Messebau and event agencies use complete sets to light booths and presentation areas with a consistent, professional appearance. To build the surrounding structure, explore our truss systems. Matching the set to your event size prevents both under- and over-specifying your rig.

Types and Variants of Complete Sets

Complete sets come in several variants so you can match the package to your discipline and budget. Knowing the types helps you shortlist quickly.

By application

• DJ and disco sets — compact fixtures on stands, focused on colour and movement for mobile use.
• Stage and band sets — moving heads, washes and often a truss element for a full stage picture.
• Effect device sets — fog, haze or pyro units combined into a ready-to-run effect package.
• Architectural and event sets — clean, controllable lighting for booths, foyers and presentations.

By power and configuration

Sets are also grouped by fixture wattage class and expandability. Entry-level configurations use lower wattage classes for efficiency, while pro sets bundle higher-output fixtures. Many sets are expandable, letting you add fixtures over DMX later.

Effect device sets in detail

Effect sets deserve special mention: combining a fog machine or hazer with matching control and fluid gives you instant atmosphere. Brands such as Antari, Eurolite, Showtec and MagicFX feature in these packages. Choosing the right variant is the first step toward a rig that fits your work.

Comparison: Entry-Level Set vs. Professional Set

A clear comparison makes it easy to see which tier suits you. The table below contrasts an entry-level complete set with a professional set on the criteria that matter most for event technicians.

The bundle price of either tier is generally cheaper than buying the same components individually, and seasonal sale pricing can improve value further. Choose the entry-level set for a low-cost, reliable start; choose the professional set when durability, control depth and expandability are decisive.

Technical Buying Criteria and Features to Check

Technical details separate a good complete set from a frustrating one. Focus on these concrete criteria before you buy.

Power and output

Check the wattage class of the fixtures — common tiers sit around 150 W for entry sets and 240 W or more for pro fixtures. Higher wattage means more brightness and reach, but also higher power draw, so calculate the total load against your available power distribution.

DMX channels and control

Note how many DMX channels each fixture uses and how many fixtures the included controller can address. More channels give finer control over dimming, colour and movement. Confirm the fixtures can be chained over DMX so the whole rig runs from one controller.

Stand and load ratings

Lighting stands and truss elements carry a rated maximum load and a maximum working height. Never exceed the stated load, and add a margin for safety cables and accessories.

Cable specification and transport

Inspect cable lengths and connector types (DMX and power) so the set reaches across your stage. For mobile use, a flightcase protects fixtures in transit. Verifying these features up front ensures the set performs in professional use.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Set by Room Size and Application

This buying guide helps you match a complete set to your space, stage height and audience — the single most important decision you will make.

Assess your space and stage height

Start with the room. A small club or bar needs compact fixtures on stands, while a larger stage benefits from truss-mounted moving heads at greater height. The available space and stage height determine the rest of your setup, so measure before you order. As a rule of thumb, choose fixture output and beam angle to cover your stage width without dark spots.

Match the tier to your discipline

• Mobile DJs need portability and fast setup — an entry-level set on stands is usually enough.
• Bands and theatres need controllable scenes and stage presence — a pro set with a programmable DMX controller fits better.
• Rental businesses and BOS/agencies need durable, expandable rigs that survive frequent transport and long show days.

Plan for growth

If you expect your requirements to grow, pick an expandable set so you can add fixtures over DMX later. Our specialists are happy to advise — as a reliable partner, LTT helps you find the optimal solution rather than over-specifying. When in doubt, favour a set that can grow with you.

Load Capacity, Rigging Safety and Standards

Safety is non-negotiable when lighting is suspended or elevated above people. Competitors rarely address this — at LTT it is core to how we build complete sets.

Load ratings and WLL

Every stand and truss element has a rated load, and load-bearing rigging components carry a Working Load Limit (WLL). Always keep the total weight of fixtures, clamps and cables well below the rated load, and never improvise mounting. When a set includes truss, our Naxpro-Truss profiles are engineered with defined tube dimensions and wall thicknesses so the load ratings are dependable.

Relevant standards

Professional rigging in event technology is governed by rules such as DGUV Vorschrift 17 (formerly BGV C1) for suspended stage installations, EN 1090 for load-bearing steel and aluminium structures, and TÜV SÜD-verified statics for truss systems. Choosing components that respect these standards protects your crew and your audience.

Truss and stand compatibility

Because LTT manufactures its own truss and rigging accessories, the stands and truss in our sets integrate cleanly with wider systems from Naxpro-Truss, Riggatec, Litetruss and Junior-Truss. That means you can expand a complete set into a certified structure instead of hitting a compatibility wall — a genuine advantage for professional and rental use.

Brands and Manufacturers in Our Complete Sets

The brands bundled into a complete set determine its quality and longevity. LTT combines high-quality branded products across every tier so you always get a coordinated, dependable rig.

Fixture and effect brands

For fixtures and effects you will find renowned names such as Eurolite, Showtec, Antari and Cameo, alongside effect specialists like MagicFX for pyro and fog. These manufacturers cover everything from budget-friendly entry fixtures to pro-grade moving heads and hazers.

Truss, rigging and control brands

Structure and rigging draw on LTT's own premium brands — Naxpro-Truss for truss, Riggatec for rigging accessories, plus Litetruss and Junior-Truss — as well as leading third-party systems. Control components come from established lighting-control makers so DMX addressing and chaining stay reliable.

Budget vs. premium tiers

Entry-level sets pair value brands for a low acquisition cost, while premium sets bundle higher-quality components for durability and control depth. Whichever tier you choose, the manufacturers are selected to work together — no mismatched, incompatible parts.

Accessories, Cable and Case Bundles for Mobile Setups

The right accessories turn a good complete set into a road-ready system. LTT bundles the matching equipment and spare parts so mobile technicians stay prepared.

Cabling and power distribution

DMX cables, mains cables and adapters keep your rig connected and powered. For larger setups, a power distribution unit safely splits the mains supply across multiple fixtures. Always match cable lengths to your stage dimensions.

Transport and protection

A flightcase protects fixtures, controllers and cables during frequent transport — essential for mobile DJs and rental firms. Sturdy cases also speed up load-in and load-out.

Effect fluids and consumables

Effect device sets need consumables: fog fluid or haze fluid, and matching spare parts. Keeping a spare bottle on hand avoids a dry hazer mid-show.

Where to extend

Explore our cables and connectors and effect device range to expand your set. The right accessory package is what keeps a mobile setup running show after show.

Care, Maintenance and Cleaning of Your Set

Regular care keeps a complete set performing and extends its service life — especially for gear that travels.

Fixtures

Wipe fixture lenses and housings with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust that dims output. Let fixtures cool before packing, and check that fans and vents stay clear so fixtures do not overheat.

Fog and haze machines

Effect machines need the most attention. Run the correct fluid, and periodically flush the machine according to the manufacturer's instructions to prevent clogging. Never mix incompatible fluids, as residue can block the heating element.

Cables and stands

Inspect DMX and power cables for damaged connectors or kinks before each event — a faulty cable is a common cause of signal dropouts. Check stand clamps and locking mechanisms, and keep truss connectors clean so assembly stays smooth. A quick maintenance routine after every gig protects your investment and prevents surprises on the next show.

Problems and Solutions: Common Pitfalls

Even a well-matched complete set can throw up issues on site. Knowing the typical problems and their solutions keeps your show running.

Fixtures do not respond to the controller

The most common problem is incorrect DMX addressing. Solution: check that each fixture has a unique start address, that the DMX chain is connected in series, and that a DMX terminator is used on long lines to prevent signal reflection.

Overloaded power circuit

Too many high-wattage fixtures on one circuit can trip a breaker. Solution: calculate the total power draw in advance and distribute fixtures across circuits using a proper power distribution unit.

Fog or haze output drops

Weak output usually points to low fluid or a partial clog. Solution: refill with the correct fluid and flush the machine as the manufacturer recommends.

Unstable stands

Wobbly stands often mean the rated load or height has been exceeded. Solution: stay within the stated load, extend to a safe height and use safety cables. Addressing these pitfalls early turns a stressful setup into a smooth one.
