These are all in Robe's eco-conscious Robin range - with the emphasis on smaller, brighter, lighter and utilising genuinely more energy efficient technologies - underlining Robe's 'Think of the Future - consider Nature initiative. All of the products also use high powered RGBW LEDs.
The Robin DLX Spot is an RGBW LED Spot moving head, its smooth and seamless colour mixing achieved by using the RGBW LED system, with a virtual colour wheel and a series of pre-programmed 'real' whites at 2700, 3200, 5600 and 8000 degrees Kelvin.
To complement and widen the already comprehensive Robin range, Robe launches the DLF which is a fresnel wash fixture. This is aimed at theatre, TV and all professional markets needing very versatile fresnel style lights.
It has a zoom that starts at 5.5 degrees and goes to 60 degrees with no distortion, and a diffusion filter extends the zoom range yet further to 75% making it isuitable for covering cycs and other large surfaces.
Robe is offering a warranty based on three years or a lifespan of 20,000 hours on all its Robin DLX and DLF products - whichever comes first.
The Robin 100 LEDBeam is small, bright and super-light at just 4.4 Kgs. Robe waited for the right LED lightsources to come on-stream before developing the LEDBeam 100, as the new Robe standard is to use only RGBW technology in the current LED range of products.
With the arrival of the newest multichips on the market, Robe forged ahead with the product development and finished this very small compact fixture, which has extremely fast pan / tilt movement.
The latest addition to the Robin LEDWash family pushes the technology forward with the addition of beam shaping .
The LEDWash 800 is a multi-purpose luminaire designed for all professional applications - concert touring, rental and staging, theatre, TV studios and production, conferences, presentations plus live events and installations of all types.
The Robin Actor 6 is a version of the Robin 600 LEDWash which has been specifically developed for the theatre, performance and TV / broadcast industries due to massive demand from those sectors for a fixed LED wash lightsource without motorised pan and tilt.
Following its fashionable and fun debut at last year's Prolight+Sound exhibition, Robe will once again have its rock 'n' roll nightrider tour bus parked just outside the show as part of the extended hospitality / meeting facilities. This can also give anyone who's not experienced it - and is curious to find out - a glimpse into living on the road.
