Yep, that's right:

"The rig features 10 moving pods, with a Showgun positioned in the
middle of each pod as its centerpiece. Another four Showguns hang on
audience trusses over the front-of-house area. The Showguns' main
purpose is for key lighting.
"I love its colour mixing, strobing, lighter weight, LED ring,
brightness and solid beam - plus it plugs in just like a normal moving
light," Hartley says. "We have so many LED products on this show, so the
Showgun with its recognisable LED ring fits right in and looks great.
This is a heavy metal show, so rather than do the multi-coloured
Christmas thing, I'm using all solid colours.""
Hope this helps.
Peter (who's very jealous - as the T-S O don't come to the UK but I
really like their music and want to see the show!)
