Introduction: Small Fixtures, Big Impact
When it comes to portable truss systems—whether used for weddings, touring DJ setups, corporate events, or stage rentals—compact LED PAR lights are the go-to solution for efficient, lightweight, and high-output lighting. Their low-profile designs, fast installation, and versatile functionality make them indispensable for mobile rigging.
This article explores two highly recommended compact PAR lights: the RGBW 4in1LED Slim Par Lights 18x10W and the Outdoor 12x15W RGBWA Battery Uplight LED Par Light, highlighting why they’re ideal choices for portable trussing needs.
1. What Makes a PAR Light Suitable for Portable Truss Systems?
Portable truss systems demand lighting that is:
Lightweight and easy to clamp

Fanless or low-noise operation suits sound-sensitive environments
Their compact design allows easy overhead or floor mounting, making the RGBW 4in1LED Slim Par Lights 18x10W a favorite among event technicians.
When power cords become a limitation, the Outdoor 12x15W RGBWA Battery Uplight LED Par Light becomes the solution. With wireless DMX and battery operation, this fixture brings mobility to lighting setups without sacrificing quality.
Advantages for portable trusses:
12x15W LEDs deliver rich RGBWA mixing, suitable for accenting fabric, ceilings, or décor
