For the better part of a year, SoLEDs worked flawlessly on Mutemath's headline dates, and co-billed gigs with Twenty One Pilots. "We've had zero problems with these strobes," says 44 Designs lead designer and owner Jeff Lava. "For Mutemath we put them at stage level behind the amps, creating a backdrop of stunning effects. Programmed to timecode, we used them in strobe and constant-on mode, as well as short bursts for additional pop."
Jeff adds, "Proving their worth again and again, night after night, SoLED is now our first-call strobe. With the look and 'feel' of xenon, the brightness in such a small footprint is unparalleled. The display is easy to read and at one-fourth the power consumption of xenon, we run five or six on a single circuit! Also, the DMX channelling protocol makes it easy to integrate in existing systems."
Currently out with Epitaph recording artists Falling in Reverse, watch for more SoLEDs going out with Mutemath again this May. Dayne Dehaven, Andy Rushings and Robert Hickman collaborate on the lighting design and programming for Mutemath.
