Robe Gs BIG at PLASA04

(02/10/2014) The PLASA 2014 exhibition sees the culmination of Robe's 20th anniversary celebrations, with the Czech Republic based manufacturer making a big impact in the 1,000 square metre Robe Arena at London's ExCeL Centre.

The Robe Arena is the company's largest exhibition area to date, and will highlight Robe's just launched BMFL Spot, a new mega-bright long-throw signature fixture which needs a large environment in which to be demonstrated most effectively.

Additionally, there are another 12 new innovations launched by Robe at PLASA 2014, together with all the current product range luminaires on this spectacular booth, which will also feature one of Robe's dazzling exhibition lightshows.

CEO Josef Valchar states, We attend many exhibitions around the globe, but it's always good to be back in London, and this has always felt like THE lighting show for us. We wanted to do something different and special because of our 20th anniversary, and we look forward to another fantastic show and to meeting people from across the industry and all over the world .

The full touring exhibition stand of sister architectural LED sister company Anolis will be integrated into the Robe Arena, and the newly acquired LightWare series of battery powered LED products (now manufactured in the Czech Republic) will also feature prominently as well as MDG's fog and haze products.

Robe will have over 60 staff on hand offering multi-lingual product demonstrations and consultations.

There will be a large stage and a full bar facility to ensure that the famous Czech hospitality can be enjoyed by all Robe's friends and family - current, future and potential - in a truly inspirational space, making PLASA 2014 a landmark for the company.

BMFL Spot

This much anticipated new lighting fixture from Robe is a real game-changer in the world of moving lights.

The Bright Multi-Functional Luminaire (BMFL) has a custom light source specially designed for Robe that produces a staggeringly powerful 250,000 lux at 5 metres - no other product currently on the market can equal this output!

Despite its power and comprehensive feature set, it weighs just 36 Kgs and has a compact body profile.

The lamp produces light at a CRI of 92. This combined with a refined optical system and 5 55 degree zoom results in a crisp, high quality fat beam that is truly homogenised and without a hotspot.

The new, high definition colour mixing technology can produce a full spectrum of colours.

There are also two colour wheels which include filters that can be utilised to adjust colour temperature and improve the CRI of the white output in aging lamps.

There are two rotating gobo wheels - each with six slot&lock gobo positions and also two Rotating Prisms.

The Dual Graphic Wheels both focus within the same focal plane, and the rotation and movement can be individually controlled and varied to create ultra-cool, infinitely subtle special effects.

The frost and dimming functions provide further effects. Three grades of Frost are available and the dimmer is exceptionally smooth with no distortion, so the full beam width is visible right up to the point at which it fades out.

The strobe effect is very authentic with up to 10 flashes per second!

Aimed at long-throw applications, the newly patented Robe EMS (Electronic Motion Stabiliser) technology, enables the BMFL Spot to absorb vibrations from music and audio sources, truss movement, sprung or suspended floors, etc.

The BMFL Spot is a very powerful, feature packed luminaire that will provide a real signature lightsource for any project.

miniPointeTM

Robe's new miniPointe is a small, agile and multi-purpose fixture specifically designed to produce sharp beam and aerial effects.

Strikingly bright 2.5 parallel beams with shimmering colours and static gobo wheel patterns can be multiplied using the new and highly original Dynamic Flower Effect (DFE ) which produces various different flower shapes ... and can dramatically change beams and aeriel looks.

The fine-tuned short arc Osram Sirius HRI 140 W RO lightsource together with the optimized optical system cuts effortlessly through haze and fog. A smooth variable frost filter and any one of the 13 instantly accessible rich colours can help create fabulously even wash effects, adding even more creative options to this compact powerful Beam, Wash and Effects fixture.

CycPix 12TM

This unique easy-to-install wash fixture offers an 8 67 zooming optical system and an array of twelve powerful 15W RGBW multichip LEDs.

RGBW colour mixing is possible for the complete array of LEDs or for each individual pixel, offering an extensive range of colours from delicate pastels to intense saturates, including a selection of pre-set calibrated whites, variable CTO and tungsten effects. More options include a full power strobe effect and very smooth dimming, while the manual tilt setting allows -50 to +90 adjustment.

DL4S ProfileTM

This extends the possibilities of the dynamic DLS Profile moving light.

The new DL4S is equipped with an enhanced version of Robe's RGBW LED module for creating brighter saturated colours and a more powerful output.

It boosts the already smooth colour range, fading and dimming of the DLS profile, and the DL4S also features an innovative LED driver system, producing an improved and extremely high definition dimming curve for all R, G, B and W colours with 18 bit resolution.

The new RGBW LED module reproduces deep saturates and a full range of pastel colours at output levels normally associated with 1200W discharge fixtures as well as a selection of pure whites at preselected 2700, 3200, 4200, 5600 and 8000K colour temperatures.

As with all models in Robe's DL luminaire range, the lightsource is completely homogenised with no shadows.
