UK - i-Pix working with Greenpeace, supplied their BB4 and Satellite fixtures to Greenpeace's Greenfields site at the 2008 Glastonbury Festival, after being approached by the organisation who wanted their area to be as eco-friendly as possible.

The Satellites and BB4s were used to illuminate a large skate ramp complex at the centre of the Greenfields area, the end section of this also doubled as a band stage area showcasing a series of up-and-coming talent.

The Greenfields area lighting and AV was co-ordinated by Niall Whybrow of Potters Bars based PP AV.

"Anything that reduces the amount of energy consumed is good," says Bob Wilson, events co-ordinator for Greenpeace UK, "What i-Pix are doing is very interesting."

The skate ramp was illuminated with four BB4s, rigged at the highest point and washing along its length. In the evenings, a projection screen was rigged at the back of the ramp forming a backdrop for the stage, and the light levels in this area were boosted with two more Satellites and two BB4s.

The other four Satellites were used to wash the front of the 'Eco House', a show home featuring green living products, solutions and ideas, including low energy lighting, solar panels, regenerated cardboard wall insulation and special windows.
