Luke Bryan lighting designer Justin Kitchenman of Align Design Group used 100 of Elation Professional’s compact ACL 360i™ fixtures in a spectacular upstage wall of lighting effects on the artist’s 2016 “Kill the Lights” tour. For the country music star’s current “Huntin’, Fishin’ and Lovin’ Every Day” tour, the designer again turned to the narrow-beam LED lights, deciding to add an additional 80 units in his new design.
