Do you mean an 'internally wired bar'? Like this....

OK, the pre-made ones are usually pretty expensive. The one in the photo is designed to run power only to Par Cans or theatre type lighting, using a single multi-way connector.

It may be that you would be able to build a suitable unit yourself. You can buy the aluminium scaffold tubing very cheap (providing you have the suitable brackets to attach it to your stands).

Exactly what lighting will you want to use on the bar? Also, will it require:-

1. Individual supply to each light, so you can switch each light independantly?
2. DMX signal to lighting?

Do your own. Get 2ft/4ft/6ft etc IEC leads. Cable tie to your rig in the position that suits your lighting. Job done!

how about this one?

quite cheap and more friendly/tidy for disco use as it uses Bulgin inputs instead of leccy or soca as on the theatrical bars. you then only need short IEC320s to your LX

Excellent bar this one.

If you don't want a T-Bar but a small splitter box, try some of these (as examples):-

You can normally find them on E-Bay as well (Standmate).
