Soundwise extends Robe inventory
- Details
It’s that growth in premium industrial shows over the last year that has fuelled a new investment in Robe moving lights, with 12 x Esprites and 12 x LEDBeam 350s joining the rental fleet.
These were initially purchased with an event at the Clarion Hotel at Copenhagen Airport in mind. “The design featured 100sq.m of LED screen, so we needed lights that could punch through and excel even with all that ambient light onstage,” explained Lars.
He noted that many of the awards show designs for which Soundwise supplies production have LED surfaces prominent on the stage, so intensity was the first consideration generally.
The Robe moving lights were delivered by Danish distributor Light Partner, located conveniently around 50km away in Herning. Before this major investment, they also had 24 x LEDBeam 150s with which they were very happy.
Lars explained that it was important to invest in a brand that was rider-friendly and well-received by the freelance lighting design community, as they are often collaborating with different creatives on the various projects.
“Both these fixture types are bright, well built, they have lots of features and offer great ‘bang-for-buck’,” confirmed Lars, “and Robe is the largest brand in Denmark right now.”
The first show for the new Esprites and LEDBeam 350s was an annual kick off meeting and motivational and awards event for McDonald’s, where Soundwise was working for producers Event Works.
The company is currently looking forward meeting to the challenges and busy schedules of Denmark’s summer tour season where the new Robe luminaires will be getting a good workout.
