USA - Along with mistletoe and eggnog, KIIS-FM's pop star-studded Jingle Ball concert, now in its 13th year, has become a December tradition. Known for a line-up of marquee performers that reads like a playlist from the Top 40 radio station, this year's Jingle Ball -- the first two-day version of the event -- featured sets from Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Ne-Yo, One Republic, Jonas Brothers, Ellie Goulding, Flo Rida, Ke$ha and will.i.am, to name a few.

Rocking the massive stage at L.A.'s Nokia Theatre alongside these mega-artists was Elation Professional's Platinum Beam 5R. An extreme ACL moving head beam effect, the Platinum Beam 5R was chosen by Todd Roberts of Visions Lighting (Brea, CA) as a defining light for illuminating Jingle Ball, which by its nature is a very challenging event to rig.

"Each of the performers brought their own lighting designer with them," said Roberts, who has handled Jingle Ball's lighting for the past several years. "Of course, the designers all got their own time to program the lighting specifically how they wanted it to be. We were running four consoles at Front of House, because everybody wanted their own type of board. It was pretty crazy, as you can imagine."
