What Is an IWB?

An Internally Wired Bar is a lighting bar with built-in wiring and socket outlets. These bars remove the need for separate trailing cables and allow lighting fixtures to be plugged in directly — making setups cleaner, safer and more efficient. IWBs are commonly used in:

Theatres
School drama studios / theatres
Broadcast and recording studios
Touring productions and education spaces

IWB Options Available

We supply a wide range of standard and custom IWBs, including:

Powercon, Powercon True1, 16A, 15A or 13A socket types
DMX/data outlets and multicore
Customisable bar lengths
Black, natural aluminium, or RAL finishes
Pre-wired or site-wired options
Suspension fittings, hook clamps or flanges

All bars are manufactured to meet electrical safety standards and can be built to match existing stock or technical requirements.

New lighting infrastructure installs
Upgrades to existing grid or bar systems
