Robe is already familiar to owners and users of several well known moving light brands - for which it’s been a long-term OEM manufacturer. These include Movitec, Futurelight, TAS, Elation, Sagitter and others. Robe is using the international forum of PLASA to launch itself as a direct sales operation, at the same time launching its new AT (Advanced Technology) Series - initially with four models, with more to follow later in the year.
ColorSpot 170 AT follows on from where the popular Color Spot 160 XT left off. The product is designed for multiple applications, and is ideal for architecturally lighting bars, restaurants, shops, product launches and events, retail environments and for use as an image projector for advertising. The Color Spot 170 offers many more features than its predecessor, including a new rotating gobo wheel, a new colour wheel, remote focus facility, a special colour and gobo changing system, remote lamp on/off and fast movement. Onboard master/slave programming enables 300 scenes to be stored in the onboard memory making it ideal for stand-alone operation.
The ColorMix 250 AT is a static colour changer with a fresnel lens, CMY colour mixing plus additional colour wheel with six dichroic colours and open, beam shaper, frost filter, dimmer shutter and an optional barn door fitting for the front. The fixture can be floor-standing or wall/ceiling mounted and offers the same functionality needed as Robe’s 250 Wash moving head. The Color Mix 250 is aimed at theatres, TV studios, stage lighting and interior and exterior architectural lighting.
ColorMix 150 AT wash is a PC washlight. Its colour wheel offers 11 dichroic slots plus open, and it has a dimmer shutter. It uses a 150W CDM lightsource from Philips which is bright and since it’s a static luminaire, it can be either floor or ceiling-mounted. ColorMix 150 AT profile is the profile version of the Color Changer 150 AT, with all the same features plus an additional rotating gobo facility.
Robe has chosen PLASA because of the show’s high profile. "It’s the leading international trade show," comments Robe’s Josef Valchar. "Everyone comes to PLASA to meet, view the latest technology and to do business." The deal with Coe-tech is seen as instrumental to establishing the Robe brand in the professional European lighting market.
