Elation Cuepix Light Cubes highlight Colbie Caillat's “Gypsy Heart” tour

Grammy Award-winning singer Colbie Caillat toured the U.S. in 2014 beneath a highly original lighting design that featured high-power Elation Cuepix Panel LED matrix blinders fabricated intoeye-catching sceniclight cubes.

Built by Steelfab LLC of Denver,“who did a fantastic job” Paul says, each cube consisted of six Elation Cuepix Panels mounted in a steel frame. Powered by advanced Chip On Board (COB) LED technology, each Cuepix Panel measures 21.6” x 21.6” square and is made up of 5 x 5 30-watt RGB LEDs with individual pixel controlwhich makemore creative effects possible, as well as letter and number projections. Capable of emitting a full spectrum of colors, the light cubes were designed by Pulse Lighting’s Michael Cummings, who also handled set design for the tour.

Lighting design for the “Gypsy Heart” tour was by Kenneth Gribbon of Pulse Lighting, a design that originally had six cubes hung in a gentle arc over the set. At one point in the design the light cubes were used only to project warm white but as the design progressed Colbie Caillat preferred a full color solution and the total number was cut to five cubes. “We started the tour by hanging all five but on the first or second stop we started hanging three and putting two on the downstage floor left and right, which Ryan Bishop and Colbie decided they liked best,” Paul comments.

Working closely with Tour Manager Ryan Bishop, Pulse Lighting handledall lighting aspects of the tour, including lighting design, lighting direction and equipment supply. “We provided the complete visual package, working on aesthetic concepts and ideas directly with the artist – all the way down to the cables and screws that make it all work,” Paul concludes.
