"I chose to work with the MAC Viper Profiles for many reasons," stated lighting designer Gilles Mathieu. "The colours are very nice. The red especially is a real primary red. The speed and range of the zoom is excellent and it only draws five amps of power. Logistically speaking the Vipers were really simple to hang and we were also able to place them on the floor when necessary."
In addition, the main stage design also included 26 MAC 2000 XB Wash lights, 24 MAC Aura LED moving heads, and eight Atomic 3000 strobe light fixtures. The MAC 2000 Wash lights offered a combination of power and colour mixing, that Mathieu discussed, would not have been possible with other fixtures. The multi-function and zoom capabilities of the MAC Auras, paired with the robust colour and power savings, were a huge asset to the live show especially during the daylight.
