Radiohead Abandons Conventionals for LEDs

PLSN: "Lured by energy savings and a wide array of color choices, Andi Watson, lighting & visuals designer for Radiohead’s 2008 world tour, opted against conventional fixtures and in favor of a rig dominated by LED fixtures developed shortly before the tour got underway in early May. Watson is working with i-Pix’s new BB 7 — a seven-cell high power homogenized 10° RGB lightsource. In all, there are 48 of the BB 7s in various positions around the stage, including 25 in five custom five-way frames produced by Specialz."
