Just Lite's Paul Smith was one of those visiting Frankfurt to ensure that his order for the company's first 12 Pointes was at the top of the pile to be processed. They will be supplied by Robe UK.
Smith got straight to the point when asked why he's buying the fixtures: "I needed a small multi-purpose unit that was versatile and did many different things - which is exactly The Pointe - in fact, it does so much more than it says on the tin."
Just Lite already owns over 400 Robe moving lights, and has invested enthusiastically in the brand right from the start of Robe's spectacular rise to being a leading European manufacturer.
Recalling his first ever Robe purchase Smith says, "I bought six ColorSpot 250s, installed them at the Ambassador's Theatre in Dublin and then forgot they were there for three years - we literally never had to do anything to them - they just worked and worked day-in-day-out."
The new Pointes will be used on the upcoming Forbidden Fruit festival in Dublin and on a host of Red Bull events through the summer. "They are most definably very Red Bull," he remarks, concluding "I love them."
Robe UK's Ian W Brown who closed the deal adds: "I have been dealing with Just Lite for over 10 years and seen them grow from primarily servicing a domestic market back then to a full international operation working all across the UK and Europe."
