Bandit is further educating its staff on 'Green' thinking and urging all team members, as well as all its vendors and clients, to consider the environment first in all decisions. The company says: "A bold new look is on the Bandit website, reaffirming the commitment to eco-friendly actions. The greening of Bandit is a process and not a single action. Bandit will work toward every possible action that is environmentally friendly and saves energy."
The staff at Bandit has spent the last year working with GRNLite to develop a full range of rugged, bright and affordable LED fixtures: the company says it is now possible to have a high quality event illuminated entirely by energy-efficient LED fixtures - and at a cost in line with today's current lighting products. "No heat on stage, 90% less electricity used, 85% less cable used, no generator needed, less crew, less truck space and hence less fuel and emissions are but a few of the advantages an all LED solution offers to the client and the Earth!" the company says.
Bandit Lites' goal is to be "80% LED" by December 2011.
