Comtech supplies lighting, sound and video to concert tours, festivals and music shows and corporate events of all types in Denmark and internationally. "We already carried some other brands and were really looking for something that was genuinely innovative," explains Jes, talking about the decision to go with Robe, "When the Pointe was launched, that was our cue."
The Pointes went straight out on tour with Danish rockers Carpark North, where they were enthusiastically specified by LD Johnny Thinggaard. After that, they have been constantly busy on numerous other projects where their light weight, intense brightness and genuine 'multi-purpose' functionally - as a spot and a beam - has made them a hit with designers, crew and production managers.
Impressed with the quick ROI and the gathering momentum of Robe as a brand choice by many designers, when they needed a powerful fixture for larger shows, arenas and stadiums, they looked at Robe's BMFL Spot.
Jes observes that they have seen a massive increase in floor and specials packages for tours in the last two years, and that Pointes and BMFLs are ideal for this - again for the small proportions and massive output. He also remarks that all the designers they have dealt with since buying in to Robe have been happy to use the kit, "The brand has become one of the top three choices in the last couple of years."
The first batch of 16 BMFLs went straight out on tour with De Eneste To (The Only Two), collaboration between singer / songwriter Peter Sommer and Simon Kvam from rock band Nephew, lit by John 'Skeg' Hedegaard. Immediately after that, Johnny Thingaard took them on Carpark North's summer 2015 tour.
