Production started at the end of 2010 and the 2000th LEDWash 600 has just been delivered to French distributor Axente, with over 1500 on order. Special arrangements have been made at the factory in Valasske Mezirici to ramp up production and keep pace with the demand.
Around the world, so far Robe's Top 8 LEDWash 600 selling territories and distributors are Germany, France, Australia, UK, Russia, Switzerland, Italy and South Africa.
Sales were further boosted by a buoyant and positive Prolight+Sound 2011 exhibition in Frankfurt, proving to be Robe's "best ever" trade show in terms of actual confirmed orders taken during the four- day event.
Meantime, the 1000th Robe LEDWash 600 fixture reached its destination in South Africa as part of a package of 24 units delivered by Robe's SA distributor DWR to Mark Gaylard of Johannesburg based MGG Productions.
MGG already owns a substantial amount of Robe equipment - including over 60 x 700 Series fixtures, over 80 x LED fixtures including LEDForce 7s and 18s, CitySkape 48s and Xtremes, along with DigitalSpot 7000 DTs and StageQube video wall. They first bought into the brand back in 2008.
