16mm Spigots for Lighting Fixtures

16mm is the standard spigot size for most lighting fixtures. The Doughty 16mm Spigot with Female Threads (M8/M10) and 16mm Spigot with Female Threads (M10/M12) cover the common thread sizes, while the 16mm Spigot (Beamer) with Female Thread extends to M6, M10 or M12. For corrosive or outdoor environments, the 16mm Stainless Steel Spigot with Male Thread resists rust better than standard steel, and the 16mm Lighting Spigots come in short steel, long steel or long aluminium versions depending on reach and weight requirements.

28mm TV Spigots for Broadcast and Studio

Broadcast camera and TV lighting fixtures typically use a larger 28mm spigot. The 28mm TV Spigot (Short Shank with M10/12 Bolt) and 28mm TV Spigot (Long Shank with M10/12 Bolt) are both available in Euro Spec or DIN Spec, in aluminium or steel, so confirm which specification your fixture uses before ordering, since the two aren't interchangeable. Male thread versions are covered by the 28mm TV Spigots with Male Threads (M10/M12), and the 28mm TV Lighting Spigots and Race TV Spigot (Steel) cover further variations within the same 28mm family. A TV Spigot Cap, in M10 or M12, protects the thread when the spigot isn't in use.

19mm and Speaker Spigots

The Doughty Standard 19mm Spigots, available in aluminium or steel with M10 or M12 threads, suit fixtures built around this size, and mount to tube using the 19mm Spigot Mounting (32mm or 38mm tube). For PA equipment, the 35mm Speaker Spigot and Speaker Adapter (32mm or 38mm) mount speaker cabinets to stands, with the Ramsa/Bose Speaker Adapter and Speaker Internal Housing (32mm, 35mm or 39mm) covering specific speaker brands and mounting depths.

Adapting Between Spigot Sizes

Where a fixture's spigot doesn't match its intended stand or receiver, the Light Stand Spigot Adapter (29mm x 16mm) and Light Stand Spigot Adaptor step down from a larger stand spigot to a smaller fixture spigot. Snap-in options, including the 16mm Snap-In Spigot (9.5mm/6.4mm Thread), Snap-In Low Profile Socket (Brass), Snap-In Camera Spigot and Snap-In Rotating Stud, allow quick tool-free changes rather than a threaded connection. The Doughty TV Adapter, in 16mm or 19mm, bridges between standard and TV spigot sizes.

Receivers and Mounting Points

A receiver accepts a spigot to complete the connection. The Doughty Receiver for 48mm/51mm Tubes gives a general-purpose mounting point on tube, while the TV Quick Receiver (100kg WLL) and 3 Point Receiver w/ Half Connector suit broadcast rigs needing faster connection or multiple mounting positions. The Combi Top and Followspot Top both give a 29mm receiver on 32mm tube, and the Tee Bar Fixing, in multiple thread and tube size combinations, provides a threaded mounting point on stand tube.

Clamps with Integrated Spigots

The Doughty Swivel Big Ben Clamp (200kg WLL) and Articulated Big Ben Clamp mount fixtures to tube structures with a built-in swivel or articulating spigot connection, while the Lightweight Big Ben Clamp w/28mm Spigot gives the same function in a lower-weight design. The Little Tom Clamp w/19mm Spigot (50kg WLL) suits lighter fixtures, and the 28mm Spigot w/ Half Connector (100kg WLL) combines both fittings in one part.

Specialist and Safety Fittings

The Doughty Followspot Rail Mount, rated to 50kg or 100kg SWL, mounts a followspot directly to a Studio Rail run, and the Clamp Space Saver (100kg SWL) reduces the offset from tube to fixture where space is tight. The Safety Collar, for 32mm or 38mm tube, prevents a fixture sliding down a stand unexpectedly, and the Doughty Lynch Pins (200kg WLL) secure spigot and receiver connections against accidental separation.

Half Connectors and Stand Adapters

The Half Connector with Roll Pin and Socket Adapters (29mm x 16mm or 16mm x 16mm) join mismatched spigot and socket sizes, and the Stand Adapter, fitting 48-51mm tube, and Parcan Stand Top adapt a lighting stand to take fixtures it wasn't originally built for.

Warranty and Load Ratings

All spigots and adapters sold by MTN Shop EU are genuine Doughty stock, sourced through official distribution, so full manufacturer warranty applies as it would from the brand directly. Load-bearing clamps and receivers are rated to a specific Working Load Limit (WLL) or Safe Working Load (SWL), which should never be exceeded.

Choosing the Right Spigot or Adapter

Match the spigot size (16mm, 19mm, 28mm or 35mm) to your fixture's own spec before ordering an adapter, and confirm Euro versus DIN specification on 28mm TV spigots specifically, since thread and dimension differences mean the two aren't interchangeable. Where a fixture and stand use different spigot sizes, an adapter is usually cheaper and faster than replacing either part.
