Event Lighting on the Spiiders web
- Details
So it wasn’t a massive surprise that they were the first company in the country to purchase Robe’s new Spiider LED wash beams following a trailblazing purchase of BMFL Blades last year which also started the ball rolling in a country with a small but highly competitive and action packed market!
Event Lighting’s first batch of Spiiders went straight out on a number of projects and this was soon followed by a second order, so they now have 40 in stock. “Everyone loves a fat beam,” says Jernej.
They wanted a latest generation LED wash fixture to pair with their growing inventory of Robe’s BMFL Blades. The Spiiders have the intensity to compliment the BMFLs perfectly, together with the individual pixel control plus the flower and other effects … which make great eye candy and are ideal for Event Lighting’s raft of TV work.
The Spiiders were used on the latest series of Dancing Stars show, the EMA Slovenia’s selection event for Eurovision 2017, and a rebranding event for SI Mobile (now A1)… amongst many others.
Robe’s Slovenian distributor MK Light Sound provided some samples so Event Lighting’s team could evaluate thoroughly before committing to the large investment. The fixtures were taken to the TV studios where they conducted lots of tests. Everyone loved them and the order was placed immediately!
MK’s Dean Karov had the perspicacity to pre-order a quantity, which enabled the units to be delivered quickly.
Event Lighting has invested steadily and regularly in Robe moving lights since launching in 2006 and now has over 400 of the latest fixtures in stock. Other recent purchases have included 24 x BMFL Blades, PATT 2013s and more PARFect S1s.
Event Lighting works all over Slovenia and frequently in neighbouring Croatia, Italy and Austria as well as provide lighting production for a host of international artists visiting the region.
The market in Slovenia is small and highly competitive, but Event Lighting is experiencing a healthy demand for premium equipment which underlines their commitment to providing only the best quality brands and service.
“I really think Robe is right at the top it its game at the moment” he concludes, adding that the superlative service and support from Slovenian distributor MK Sound Light is a big part of the equation and their loyalty to the brand.
