This follows hot on the heels of winning a PLASA Award for Innovation at the London show in September.
The Robin 300 Plasma Spot was one of 59 products nominated for Les Trophées, which was judged by the combination of 11 leading independent industry experts and an online vote by members of the public.
The Robin 300 Plasma Spot - also being shown for the first time in France at the exhibition - was chosen for its innovation, and for bringing a new and dynamic dimension in lighting to visual and lighting designers working in all areas of live productions, presentations and entertainment, and for directors of photography in worlds of films, commercials and TV.
Robe's business development manager Ingo Dombrowski says: "This is a further real affirmation that Robe is on the right track in terms of technical foresight, and is being recognised as an industry leader committed to developing new greener and more sustainable products, offering a wide range of creative options for end-users."
Robe's Robin 300 Plasma Spot and Wash fixtures are fully in production and are being specified and used for numerous different projects worldwide. The largest quantities of Robins to be used on a single show to date have just been specified for the upcoming Miss World 2009 beauty pageant, which will be staged in Johannesburg, South Africa in December.
