Building on the great success of the “Robe Arena’ at PLASA 2014 to mark the
company’s 20th anniversary, this year Robe takes another large space at PLASA
London in the ExCeL Centre, and will make a BIG impact with its newest products
and technology, focusing on innovations specifically aimed at theatre and television
lighting applications.
The powerful and superior features of the new DL7S LED profile fixtures will take
centre stage, highlighting its incredible quality of light, subtle and intricate full
spectrum colour mixing and high colour rendering index – all perfect characteristics
for theatre and TV environments.
Also new will be The Square, bringing the possibility of combining video projection,
pixel animation, beam effects and LED wash lighting in one fixture with continuous
pan/tilt rotation movement; the ColorStrobe from Robe, an RGB version of the
potent new LED Strobe from Robe; The Viva, an elegant brand new lightweight spot
moving light fixture; and the PATT 2013 tungsten softlight, the first of a new range
of retro luminaires from Robe for stage and studio.
Robe’s BMFL Blade – the newest fixture in the Czech manufacturer’s signature Bright
Multi-Functional Luminaire (BMFL) range – is highlighted together with the hugely
successful BMFL Spot.
More additions to Robe’s DL range include the DL4X Spot, DL4S Profile and the DL4F
Wash, all with enhanced output and features; there are two new versions of Robe’s
ParFect LED PAR fixture; the CycBar 15 a new LED batten fixture, and the white LED
Strobe from Robe.
Robe’s Arena will be action-packed with numerous activities throughout the
exhibition, including a spectacular lightshow every hour on the hour, and a 5 minute
overview of all the key products on display which will run three times an hour.
The amazing “One Man One Light’ show was devised by top South African theatre LD
Michael Broderick initially for Mediatech 2015 in Johannesburg, where it was a huge
hit and has since performed at the Hilton Arts Festival in Durban. This will
demonstrate the immense range of very subtle, beautiful and dramatic effects that
can be produced using just one single Robe BMFL Blade luminaire with a “back-to-
basics’ creative starting point.
Separate areas within the Robe Arena will feature the full touring exhibition stand of
sister architectural LED sister company Anolis.
Robe’s LightWare series of long-life, super-bright battery powered LED products
(now manufactured in the Czech Republic) will also be represented and in action in
the Arena, together with a full range of MDG’s ground-breaking fog and haze
products.
Robe’s famous hospitality and a warm welcome will be extended in a convivial
environment via the multi-lingual team. Refreshments and drinks will be available
and the Robe Arena will be an ideal meeting point, business and social hub for
exhibition visitors.
Robe is again a platinum sponsor of PLASA London.
