"My hat goes off to all the production staff involved in the NBA Finals," says Bandit Lites vice president Mike Golden. "Watching the NBA production team go through the scramble of surveying the final team venues and then detailing their equipment needs and lighting plan was truly impressive."
The lighting package for the NBA Finals consisted of 26 VL3000 spot luminaires, 6 VL2500 spot luminaires, 28 Mac 2000 wash units, 8 Mac 600 units, 54 ETC Source Four units, 2 Grand MA lighting control consoles, along with Electrol and CD80 digital dimmers.
"For the finals, we used what we call our medium rig with the VL3000 spots and the Mac 2000 wash lights configured in a U-shape along the upstage side of the court, said Nordstrom. "We also used the VL2500 spots as floor eye candy on rolling trusses, along with the Mac wash lights."
