A VDO Atomic Half Coupler may be attached directly to one of the interlock slots on the
fixture (without the hanging bracket)
x
Multiple fixtures may be interlocked together using the slide-in Interlock Coupler. A
maximum of 4 fixtures may be interlocked in a column. When interlocking fixtures
horizontally, a rigging clamp must be used for every fixture or every column to support
the array.

A Pivot Interlock Coupler is available which couples fixtures at any multiple of 15
degrees. This allows circles or other shapes of fixtures to be created.

An Interlock Adaptor is available which attaches to one of the interlock slots enabling
you to mount a single VDO Atomic Bold on a suitable stand with standard 5/8 in. or M8
thread.

A Double Width Bracket is available to join 2 fixtures in a 2-lite which can then be
attached to a truss or surface.
x
A Spigot Adapter is available to attach a fixture to standard spigot-compatible
accessories such as floorplates and stands.
x
VDO Atomic Bold fixtures can also be combined with VDO Atomic Dot fixtures in a
mixed array. In such case a VDO Atomic Bold Interlock Doubler is used to connect two
VDO Atomic Dot fixtures above, below, left or right of a VDO Atomic Bold fixture.

Safety bonds must be fitted to each fixture, even when fixtures are interlocked, using
the safety bond attachment point on the rear.
