Bandit Lites supplies Elation Seven Batten fixtures for Shinedown tours

Hard rock band Shinedown has just wrapped its biggest stage show to date on “The Revolution’s Live Tour”, their second headlining North American trek of the year. Lighting design was by Mitchell Schellenger with Carter Fulghum out on the tour directing a rig that included effects from Elation Professional Seven Batten 72 linear LED lights. Lighting supply was by Bandit Lites.

The six-foot-long Seven Batten 72 strip lights lined 20-ft sections of automated truss that moved into various configurations throughout the show. As the truss angled into different positions, kinetic lines of light moved to form varying shapes and different looks. “One of my favorite looks was something we called X Wing, where some of the trusses angled up while others angled down”, explains Fulghum. “The effect was to create a look that mimicked the form of an X-Wing Starfighter from ‘Star Wars’.”

They used the color-changing linear effects for strobe looks, chases and hits, glow looks and accents. They also accessed the fixture’s ten zones to create big or small squares of ever-changing light. “We custom made all the effects”, says Fulghum. Other Seven Batten fixtures were used from a vertical truss position behind a video wall to light band members from the back while a pair of units placed under grated staging on the downstage shined up to light the band from below.

The Shinedown rig went back to the Bandit facility in Nashville where it was revamped - still with Seven Battens - before heading to Daytona Beach for Welcome To Rockville 2022 where the band headlined alongside Guns N’ Roses and Rise Against.
