The band's lighting designer is Phil White and Entec has been involved with supplying the band since 2004.
Says Entec's Noreen O'Riordan, "We are very pleased with the evolving seven-year relationship we've had with the band and crew on this show. Every night each department delivers a high quality, faultless performance with a consistency that is very hard to beat - no wonder they have stolen the hearts of Pink Floyd fans worldwide.
The lighting rig design is based on Pink Floyd's seminal 1994 Pulse tour and the visuals element of the show utilizes both 3D and 2D projections, featuring a completely new set of material following a new band line up, 'rebirth' and new management deal.
Entec purchased their new Grasshopper from A.C. Video specially for the tour, and this follows the purchase of several other Green Hippo products from AC-ET. It was specified by Entec's Ryan Brown who also set up and fine-tuned the system before it left their Northolt base.
The lighting equipment supplied by Entec includes 40 Clay Paky Alpha Spot 300 HPEs, 24 of which are positioned on the 12 trusses around the arch and 16 around the perimeter of the circle. There are also six Martin Professional Atomic strobes on the arch trusses and 12 x 2-lite Moles, with each section of truss internally lit by an i-Pix Satellite LED 'brick' tucked into the corner.
