NASHVILLE – Bandit Lites added to the Clay Paky fixtures in its inventory with its recent acquisition of Mythos and Spheriscan fixtures. LDs Mike Swinford and Nick Whitehouse are using Mythos fixtures for Jason Aldean and Thomas Rhett, respectively. LD Butch Allen has also been using Bandit-supplied Spheriscan fixtures (pictured here).
More details from Bandit (www.BanditLites.com):
The aptly named Mythos, Clay Paky’s hybrid fixture that provides a sharp, defined beam with a zoom range from 4 degrees to 50 degrees, is out on both Mike Swinford’s lighting design for Jason Aldean and Nick Whitehouse’s lighting design for Thomas Rhett.
The versatility the Mythos delivers gives designers almost unlimited options as it can be programmed to function as a spot, beam or wash. Additionally, this PLASA, Parnelli, LDI and LiveDesign awarded fixture includes a rotating gobo wheel, two rotating prisms and two color systems.
Bandit Lites also became the first company to send the new revolutionary Spheriscan out on a major tour with designer Butch Allen. Reviving the idea of a moving mirror fixture, the Spheriscan provides stunning swirling effects as its mirror spins endlessly with an option of four revolutions per second.
“It is refreshing to see Clay Paky produce a product that so many have wanted while adding their own touch to it,” shared Bandit’s Director of Technical Services Jake Tickle. “It is always exciting to be among the first to experience a ‘new to market’ fixture.”
A.C.T. Lighting, the North American distributor for Clay Paky, facilitated the purchase for Bandit Lites.
“We very happy to be working with the team at Bandit Lites on this project,” said A.C.T. Lighting’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing Brian Dowd. “Bandit has always been on the leading edge of technology. They are innovative and that’s exciting.”
