Ancienne Belgique goes Mega
- Details
The venue has just purchased 24 x Robe MegaPointes which join the 50 x Spiiders that have graced the house lighting rig since 2017.
Together with some other lights, these ensure that the very best production values can be offered for all incoming shows - for those who might be using the full house rig and not carrying any of their own kit as well as those touring with specials packages and hooking into the house ‘top’ rigs each night.
Head of AB’s lighting department, Renaat Van Hee, explained that they were extremely happy with the Spiiders and looked to Robe again to invest in new spot / beam fixtures.
“We have good contact and have enjoyed great service from both Controllux (Robe’s Benelux distributor) and Robe themselves, and we want to continue the positive relationship” he explained.
He’s confident they made the right decision on both fixtures as so many touring productions are now coming through with both on their riders. “Spiiders and MegaPointes are a great combination that delivers excellent performance for music shows where you really need the punch, power and versatility.”
He also remarks on the light weight of both which is important as they do overnight re-rigs most of the time. The crews all love them as they can rig them single handed and “we have received great feedback from everyone.”
