A wide variety of talent, reality and talk shows are produced by Pro PLUS together with their acclaimed 24-hour news services. They own several studios, with the largest - Studio 4 - accommodating up to three separate productions simultaneously. This is where the Robes are currently installed.
The lighting department is primarily responsible for the white light elements of the shows - which is the main reason the LEDWash 800s were purchased.
The fixtures were supplied via Slovenian distributor MK Light Sound, and replace their previous older moving lights.
"The fixtures are stable and reliable - that topped the requirements," explained Jure Lekse from Pro PLUS's lighting department.
They were all particularly impressed with the additional brightness of the LEDWash 800 and its beam shaping capabilities which help reduce the glare when back lighting by making the source more directional, flexible and easier to stop leaking into the camera. Some went directly into use on their weekly talk show, Epilogue.
The 800 variation of the popular LEDWash series is more powerful than the standard 600 and lighter than the 1200 and it is ideal for quick rigging via rope-and-ladder which is a frequent request.
The LEDWash 800s and MMX Spots are on the current series of popular reality cooking programme Gostilna isce sefa (Restaurant Looking For a Chef) placed in the restaurant and in a large studio set-up to record all the talk, comment and linking sessions.
In addition to these new in-house moving lights, for the larger shows like Slovenia's Got Talent and other music / singing productions, Pro PLUS will sub hire lights as needed, which was another consideration when purchasing their own stock.
