and content processing racks for assembling systems large and small, the ability to hang the draperies in any direction, and the unparalleled display contrast provided by the black background for the LED nodes.

Sunrise, Florida (September 2nd, 2008) - The 2008 tour of the alternative punk-funk/reggae-rap group 311 features Coemar Infinity Wash XL and ParLite Led lights. Joe Paradise, the tour's lighting designer/director/programmer, is working with 16 Infinity Wash XLs and 36 ParLite Leds, which complement the tour's layered design. The Coemars play off of the rig's huge circle with a 60' truss running through its middle. "I use the ParLites as truss toners, and the Infinities for general upstage and mid stage wash," says Paradise. "I'm also using hazebase base hazers, mounted in the circle to give atmosphere downstage." (Both Coemar and hazebase are distributed in the U.S. by Inner Circle Distribution.)
