Robe's GigaPointe Summer for T SERVIS T SERVIS, a technical production company based in Czechia, has enjoyed a busy 2026 so far, which has included a summer of music festivals, where its newly purchased Robe GigaPointe multifunctional beam moving lights were featured in events like Rock for People, Colours of Ostrava, Masters of Rock, and many others. The company's head of lighting, Ivo Cernohorsky, says the 50 GigaPointes replaced older beam fixtures from another manufacturer in the inventory. Adam Lenomar, Robe's area sales manager for Czechia and Slovakia, says, "We were hugely excited when T SERVIS was the first company in the country to invest in our GigaPointe technology, showing their leading position in the technical production universe, and also allowing all the LDs to see the fixtures in action for themselves at numerous live events, together with all the hosting LDs who were able to work GigaPointes into their designs." T SERVIS started purchasing Robe products around ten years ago. The rental fleet has grown to over 400 Robe moving lights, including iFORTES, ESPRITES, LEDBeam 150s, Spiiders, MegaPointes, RoboSpot systems. The company wanted GigaPointes for multiple reasons. "Obviously, the intensity and all the features are great for creating effects," Cernohorsky says. "They are an excellent choice for festivals, and the IP rating is important for all outdoor work." He notes that beamy lighting looks are currently trending on music and talent genre TV shows like Czechia-Slovakia's Got Talent, helping with rentals on such programs. He adds that in addition to Robe's convenient nearby location, the company makes "some of the best lights on the market right now, which are consistently reliable and good quality, and you can see that a lot of thought and good engineering goes into them." T SERVIS' work embraces concerts and touring, festivals, corporates, conferences and broadcast, working all over Czechia and regularly in other European countries, including Germany and Austria. It often works with international artists and productions, providing lighting, audio, LED screens, and staging. Cernohorsky's father, Ota, started T SERVIS in 1993, so Cernohorsky was effectively born into the industry. Trained as a classical musician, his own passion for and interest in technical production started when he was very young. He joined the company full-time in 2002, following his love of sound and lighting, and worked his way up to become head of lighting. He is also lighting designer for internationally renowned violinist Vanessa-Mae, among others.
