Colour Sound Experiment, who supplied the Comedy, Cabaret, Music & Film, Book Club, Poetry, In The Woods and Saddlers Wells in The Lake stages, also deployed six Avolites Pearls around the site.
Lighting for the four Siyan stages was designed by Steve Finch, who worked with their crew chief Ieystn Thomas and 10 others. It was based on creating something practical for all the incoming LDs, including moving lights and a selection generics, and he studied all their specs as a starting point.
There was also plenty of latitude (no pun intended!) in the designs for the Siyan FOH lighting 'babysitters' to have plenty of options for lighting any bands or performers without their own LDs
