To light the event, lighting designer Will Twork primarily chose to use Martin MAC 500s, MAC 2000 Washes, Performances and Profiles, Coemar iWash Halos, Chroma-Q Color Web Panels, and Color Kinetic I-Color Accents. Lighting was controlled by a Whole Hog II and wing.
The Color Kinetic I-Colors were used to rim the stage with colour. Twork used the MAC 2000 Performances to provide an American flag theme with American flag stars and stripes gobos. The MAC 2000 Washes lit the runway up to the stage while he used MAC 500s to backlight the sword and sword barer.
