The European shows feature a rig full of Martin moving lights, including MAC III Profiles, MAC 2000 Wash XBs, MAC 700 Profiles, MAC 250 Beams and Atomic 3000 strobes with Atomic Colors scrollers.
"We did a six week run in the States with no major issues, and thus far in Europe they are fine too," Normandale states. Lighting vendor for the US leg was Upstaging with Lite Alternative, Normandales's UK based lighting production company, handling the European leg.
Normandale, who field-tested the MAC III Profile over two years ago on a James Blunt tour and is also using them on the current Chemical Brothers world tour, is still happy with his choice. "The MAC IIIs have a broad zoom and beam extremity, allowing for both expansive and defined beams. We even used the laser trick and convinced everyone but the tour accountants we had lasers." the LD reports.
