One audience that is currently being dazzled includes the thousands flocking to Garth Brooks world tour, where he has already broken ticket sale records in North Carolina, Chicago and Atlanta.
Bandit Lites worked with award winning lighting designer Dave Butzler to maximize the onstage look. Custom designed eight triangular Tyler truss 'pods' each contain eight GLP X4 fixtures and six of the smaller GLP X4S fixtures, making a total of 64 X4 and 48 X4S fixtures comprising a large portion of the flown lighting rig. Additionally, there are 12 more X4 fixtures that are on the floor scattered around the perimeter of the set to give an overall stage wash, while the X4S fixtures provide eye candy with their really quick and nice, tight beams.
The impression X4 features 19 RGBW high output LED's. In its slimline body, with no base unit, the impression X4 houses a 7 to 50 degree zoom range, full colour mixing including CTC and customizable pixel patterns across its front face. Weighing just 17.5 lbs., the impression X4 delivers high output with even colour mixing across the beam at all angles, and its RGBW homogeneous sources offers a wide colour palette from soft pastels to deep saturates.
In addition to the X4 fixture, the compact, 12 lbs. GLP impression X4S have been seen on stage with numerous Bandit clients, including Widespread Panic, Amos Lee, Toby Keith, Jeremy Camp, Gavin DeGraw, Chevelle and Needtobreathe.
Bandit chair Michael T. Strickland stated, "Mark Ravenhill and the fine people at GLP have been wonderful partners for a long time. Their innovative, well priced fixtures make it possible to conduct business in a proper fashion. At every turn the GLP staff has been there for us and we appreciate that. We look forward to a long, fruitful relationship with GLP."
