The lighting fixtures chosen for all the shows were MAC 700s and MAC TW1s. The Martin lights used for Can I Gymru in particular were MAC 700 Profiles, MAC TW1, the new MAC III and LC Panels.
The LC panels were an important part of the whole set and ELP, working closely with set designer Phil Williams, designed a rigging system that enabled them to create two 4m x 2m sliding doors from LC panels with a rear wall of six screens in a 4 x 3 configuration.
Lighting director John Penny Williams comments on the LC Panels and the MAC IIIs: "The combination worked extremely well, with the set. The panels gave us an endless variety of looks, and the super bright Mac IIIs gave the depth. I've usually found lights of this size to be lacking on the control side, this is certainly not the case with these. The colors and gobos were great, Pan and tilt was very smooth and beam angle was very good. I'll look forward to using them again."
