Transcolor invests in more Robe
- Details
Television is a core market for Transcolor which also services other studios with lighting and video equipment – together with concert touring, special events and long term installations.
To assist with the busy schedules, there are now over 300 Robe fixtures in the rental inventory including 200 plus LEDWash 800s and over 100 Spikies.
They started looking at Robe in 2012 - having been a distributor for a competitor brand for several years and consequently having a big stock of their fixtures – it was a big moment - explained technical manager Szymon Kosicki.
Having noticed Robe’s star rising for some time, they approached Rafal Rzeczkowski of Robe’s Polish distributor, Prolight, with whom they already enjoyed an excellent relationship. Transcolor wanted a good quality and powerful LED wash light at this point, and after carefully looking at all the options, decided Robe was the right choice.
The first batch of LEDWash 800s was soon followed by several more. Szymon notes they have been impressed with the continuity – colours, quality and appearance of the LEDs, etc. - between batches, an area where they’ve had real issues with other brands.
The Spikies were purchased in the last year. "We really like the concept of this fixture" says Szymon, listing some recent Spikie shows including Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (LD Marcin Michna).
"New technologies are always interesting and we have our ‘ears to the ground’ constantly to discuss what’s good and what’s cool," says Szymon.
