Abstract
A structural truss system and electrical conduit for suspended mounting of electrical components such as stage lighting and remote controlled equipment featuring an elongated support beam with removable endcaps and a sidewall. The sidewall is cooperatively engageable with the support beam along substantially its engire length and allows access to the conduit formed inside when engaged with the support beam. A mounting track formed on the exterior surface of said bottom wall of the support beam and provides a slidably engageable mount for component mounts that attach to electrical components such as lights thereby providing positioning ability for the attached components. One or a plurality of electrical plugs or similiar attachments communicate through the sidewalls with wires running in the conduit and allow the electrical components to be properly situated in the mounting track and then plugged into the electrical power or control signals provided by the internal wiring.
