All are in line with the company's ongoing Think of the Future - Consider Nature commitment to producing genuinely more sustainable and greener technology which takes up less truck space, reduces weight loading on trusses, is quicker and simpler to rig and draws significantly less power than conventional light sources - without compromising on brightness, features or functionality.
Robe also highlights how it is streamlining its own production processes to reduce its carbon footprint and overall environmental impact.
The super-slim, mega-bright Robin 1200 LEDWash utilises the same multichip RGBW LEDs as Robe's Award-winning Robin 600 LEDWash and the smaller Robin 300 LEDWash, in an intensely bright package featuring 61 x LEDs in total, arranged in four concentric rings.
It is a multi-purpose luminaire, with the scope and dynamics to be used for "the creation of spectacular kaleidoscopic patterns and effects - through individual control of the four LED rings - as well as for washing large surfaces areas and objects with a really bright, completely even, high quality light source".
The Robin DLX Spot is billed as the world's first LED based spot moving head to utilise an RGBW LED light source, harnessing the full power and idynamics of the technology.
The output - when in colours - is higher in intensity than a 575W discharge source unit, but with an average power consumption of just 260 Watts, following Robe's commitment to producing genuinely more energy efficient product lines.
Unlike conventional discharge lamp fixtures, the DLX doesn't have a traditional CMY/CTO colour mixing module and a colour wheel to generate colours. All colours are produced by the new RGBW LED light engine, which provides fantastic colour mixing with wide selection of hues ranging from delicate pastels to rich saturates.
A special virtual colour wheel offers a selection of true whites from 2700°K to 8000°K and wide range of pre-programmed colours. In the halogen lamp mode which is predefined for whites at 2700°K and 3200°K, the dimmer channel imitates halogen lamp-like behaviour with red effect and thermal delay.
Previewed will be the intensely bright Robin Sniper. The fixture uses the same Philips Platinum 35 lamp as the Robin MMX Spot and Robe's hot-rodded optics - including dichroic glass reflector - produce a staggering 250.000 Lux at a 10m distance, 10,000 Lux at 50m or 100 Lux at 500m.
The Sniper is designed for use on big stages, at large events and in venues, stadiums or open spaces. It is replacing the old Xenon lamp based products with a power consumption of around 2 KW, draws only 950W of power in total and weighs just 25.5 Kgs.
