Went to the Houston show last night with Len (hakzaw1). Thought Len would get a chance to see the ion white-lights used in the show over all these years....
They are gone...all replaced by diode lasers now. Bound to happen at some point. Spoke to Dave McConkey, who confirmed that Ryan Waters had left and is doing some new lighting projects now, as well as the show is being done now with a RGB2 (stage screen), a RGB4 (ceiling/beams) and a 2.5W green yag (beam table/bounce mirror effects). Nice to see what those powers will support in a 3000 seat venue.

The show was nice, but looked like an RGB8 or RGB12, over an RGB4 would have really made a difference for the color beam effects. I'll get some photos posted in the next day or so.
