Robe Celebrates 20 Years At Prolight + Sound

News Image
As Robe Lighting celebrates its 20th year in business, the company will be showcasing some of its lineup at this year's Prolight + Sound in Frankfurt.

Robe's LEDBeam 1000TM is a new fixture that will be launched at the show, utilising LED technology. It can be used as a beam or a wash light and features a proprietary optical system enabling a zoom of 4 – 60 degrees with full beam control.
The CycFX 4 will also be at the show, featuring the parameters of the CycFX 8 in a smaller package.
It features a truss or floor-mountable and offers four individually controllable LEDs and an 8 to 67 degree zoom.
It is a ideal for creating sweeps and curtains of light and colour across a stage or area, as well as footlights or audience 'blinder' effects.
CycFX 4s can be combined with CycFX 8s to provide the ability to build structural and sculptural shapes to frame pros arches and for general architectural outlining.
Robe's LED PAR PARFect is based on the LEDBeam 100 technology, with the same optical system and light engine in a static housing.
The PARFect uses 12 x 15W RGBW LEDs and has a 7 degree beam angle with the option of additional diffusers to achieve 10, 20 and 45 degrees.
A Powercon connector in and out allows 12 or 6 units (Europe and US respectively) to be daisy-chained together, and optional accessories include barn doors and a gel frame.
In addition to the RGBW version, a SmartWhite PARFect, tuneable from 2700 – 6500K and a daylight fixture at 6200K will follow shortly.
Actor 3, 6 and 12 LEDWash moving heads will be re-launched at Prolight 2014 with new electronics. New thermal management means improved and near-silent cooling.
On 19 February 2014, Robe acquired all relevant patents and intellectual property from UK company GDS to manufacture and further develop their popular range of LiteWare battery powered LED products.
The first product to be released by Robe will be LiteWare HOTM, a high-output (HO) up-lighter using two 40W RGB LEDs. The rechargeable battery will power the LEDs for up to 18 hours, depending on the colour mix and output level.
The patented tilting head enables the light output to be directed onto walls, pillars and other architectural features. Each unit can be remotely controlled via wireless DMX or set to operate independently in a stand-alone function. 
The base housing has a polished finish, reflecting the immediate surroundings and blending into any decor.
LiteWare SatelliteTM is based on the same technology as the LiteWare HO, with the additional feature of a removable head - containing the two 40W RGB or White LEDs. The head can be fitted directly onto the base unit or raised up to 2.7m using a patented adjustable telescopic pole.
The LiteWare HO up-lighter and LiteWare Satellite units are supplied in purpose-built flight cases of four or six units, complete with inbuilt, intelligent charging electronics.
