On 3 April 3, 2016, 40 SyncroMITE Beams were used alongside the reveal stage at WrestleMania 32, where the WWE set a new attendance record of 102,000 fans packed into AT&T Stadium. The SyncroMITE's were part of a larger Syncrolite package that included MX4's, SXL's and XL's, which combined was also the largest number of automated Syncrolite fixtures ever used in a single event.
TJ Benton served as crew chief for Syncrolite and worked alongside Jason Robinson, the WWE production manager and Jason Shaw, the senior manager of lighting, to pull off this bigger than life production.
Later that same week, SyncroMITE Beams were included in the lighting rig for the series Grand Finale of American Idol. In the pictures and video of the performances it was easy to identify the big, bold, bright beams provided by the SyncroMITE's. Many past Idol winners and standouts performed during the emotional "last show".
