Jake Tickle, Bandit Lites director of technical services, praised the ACL 360i as a great compliment to the entire ACL 360 Series. "The included optional 10 and 45 degree frost are great options expanding the use of the ACL 360i," he said. "This fixture is the definition of power in numbers. I feel we have only touched the surface of how creative we can be with the Elation ACL 360i."

The fixtures were recently out on American rock band Shinedown's Carnival of Madness tour, where lighting designer Sooner Routhier used them for accent and back lighting, placed behind Plexiglas.
