The second annual Revolver Golden Gods Awards lit by Martin Professional
USA - Lee Rose was the innovative lighting designer for the second annual Revolver Golden Gods Awards; an event that celebrates the best in hard rock and heavy metal. Featuring artists such as Rob Zombie, Slash, Dave Grohol, Lemmy Kilimister of Motörhead, and many more, Rose had to create an environment that matched the vigour of performances. To generate a vibrant force of energy he chose to use the MAC 401 Dual by Martin Professional.

Rose has used the MAC 401's previously on both the ABC Disney Christmas Parade special and Dick Clark's New Years Rockin' Eveand stated, "For this show I had the concept of an updated 'wall of light,' like was done with PAR-64's in the heyday of heavy metal tours. I knew, from my previous experience, that I wanted to build this 'wall' with MAC 401's."

He created the spectacular look by hanging three rows of 14 fixtures under the upstage truss. He then placed three fixtures per side to create low side light from some vertical trusses on the downstage sides of the stage.

Rose was very satisfied with the dynamic effects he designed and programmer David 'Gurn' Kaniski implemented using the MAC 401s, indicating, "The fixtures performed wonderfully. I was extremely happy with the look we got from the design based on the fixture."

In addition to the 48 MAC 401 LED fixtures used to create the wall of light, other Martin products used for this event included the powerful Martin MAC 700 Profile and Martin Atomic 3000 strobe. Felix Lighting of La Mirada, California supplied the Martin lighting, as well as other automated fixtures, LED lighting and conventionals.
