The units were used extensively both after dark and during the daylight sessions - such is the brightness and smooth quality of the light output - and they made a great impression during the day when many other sources would not register on the TV.
Being low on power - drawing a mere half an Amp on full - the BB 2x2 also offers benefits in terms of producing maximum light for minimal electricity.
Pyramid and other stage lighting equipment was supplied by Neg Earth, and headliners throughout the three-day festival included Muse, Gorillaz and Stevie Wonder.
Also, numerous other i-Pix products were used site wide on many different stages. Over in the Dance Village, Colour Sound Experiment supplied i-Pix BB4s and BB7s in the Dance East tent - where they were used for audience and stage blinding effects. CSE also supplied BB16s to the Glade Stage.
The Editors lighting designer Cate Carter used 10 BB4s as part of their floor specials package for their performance on the Other Stage - which were supplied by rental company Siyan.
LD Jonny Gaskell used 12 BB7s for the band's Saturday night performance on the Other Stage, this time supplied by Neg Earth. There were also 12 BB4s on the John Peel Stage supplied by rental company DPL.
Designer Nick Jevons and Electric Fly Productions used BB4s to help light the Queens Head Tent (the ex Leftfield Stage) and James Loudon, LD for the Circus Tent, made good use of some of the petal shaped BB7s.
i-Pix Chris Ewington sums up, "It was great to have a wide selection of fixtures at Glastonbury again, and we've had loads of positive feedback. The diverse ways in which BBs continue to be used really emphasises their flexibility and the creativity of the different individuals involved."
