Saint Lucia - David 'Gurn' Kaniski had his rig for the Saint Lucia Jazz and Arts Festival main stage all set up when he was given the bad news - 15 of the ÉPIX Strip Tours at the heart of his design were blocking a path that (unbeknownst to the LD) had been designated for equipment load-ins. "They told me I had to remove the 15 strips," said Kaniski. "My response was, 'You got to be kidding!' Running the strips to follow the stage's dome was at the heart of my design."

It was then that Kaniski discovered a valuable feature about the pixel mappable LED strips from Chauvet Professional. ""The ÉPIX has this cool slide adjustment that allowed me to hang the strip off centre in order to clear the door way," he said. "Using this feature, I could keep the 15 strips in place and preserve my look without obstructing that pathway."
