The lighting for Robe's eye-catching stand in the new Hall 11.1 was designed and programmed by Nathan Wan from Robe UK, utilising all the company's latest products. Robe continues its proactive product development programme and used the show as a launch-pad for 11 new fixtures, whilst also showcasing its most popular established moving light and digital products plus its extensive range of LED units and haze and fog machines.
It was the Robin 600 Series that stole the show for Robe in terms of receiving the most attention of any new product. The Robin 600E Spot, Wash and Beam fixtures are the latest in Robe's new generation of moving lights. It confirmed Robe's conviction that a 600 series fixture is something the market really wants. Also new to the Robin series is the 'Classic' 300, a range of fully-featured value-conscious units.
The ColorBeam 2500E AT was launched and added to Robe's workhorse AT Series. Robe's comprehensive array of fog and haze machines also received plenty of attention. A full demonstration seminar of all the new products was run in a dedicated demo room away from the stand.
Robe's managing director Josef Valchar comments: "We were really pleased with the show and the reaction to our new products, all of which have been developed in close consultation with feedback from leading industry figures. Our aim as always is to utilise the latest technology and provide a dynamic set of creative tools for visual designers working in all fields."
