The lighting rig featured 24 PixelSmarts and 10 SmartLine4s which were used to design five different themes over the five week series. The flexibility of the SmartLine4 luminaires created both wash and effects - and the PixelSmarts were mainly used for graphics and rotating icons.
Lighting designer Tim Routledge states, "The SmartLines were a fantastic addition to the previous year's use of the PixelSmarts. The integration of the cold white in the units gave us some fantastic sparkle on camera which we use by randomly chasing the cells within the units.
"We were able to create unlimited chases and looks with the units and were in shot for most of the show. The best thing about the battens is that they really don't look too LED and have a really nice feel about them when looking at the unit, they feel like an MR16 batten that Thomas has been making for years."
