At Morrissey's 2009 "Tour of Refusal", 12 BB7 beam lights from i-Pix have been used to bring different dynamics to the stage with the quality and feel of the BB7 light output.
The new album has plenty of "attack", explains Max Conwell, lighting designer of the tour, saying that the BB7s are well suited for helping to create this generally combative aura. He used them to provide a totally contrasting visual texturing from the moving lights, and extensively as a major secondary lightsource on his minimalist rig which tastefully embraced the ethics of 'small is beautiful'.
Six of the BB7s were rigged overhead on the back truss and the other 6 positioned on the floor, upstage of the band, providing powerful backlight.
In the UK the equipment was supplied by Neg Earth, and in the US by Epic Productions from LA, who purchased the BB7s for the tour.
