The Martin lighting gear for X Factor is supplied by PRG
USA - The highly anticipated American version of X Factor premiered live on the Fox network in the US and Canada on 21 September with lighting designer Tom Kenny lighting the show using a rig of 40 Martin Professional MAC 2000 Wash XB moving heads along with Martin LC Series LED panels.

Kenny used the powerful XB fixtures' full 63,000 lumens of brightness from a 50ft trim height to light the large stage and audience at venues across America, including Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Miami, Dallas and Seattle, before moving to Pasadena for two weeks of 'bootcamp' in which contestants selected at auditions refined their performances. The LC Series LED panels were used as side screens on the live show and as back projection in the bootcamp.
