Robe at Prolight + Sound, Frankfurt 2011

	Robe's ROBIN 300 LEDWash

Robe will launch five new products at the 2011 Prolight + Sound.

The ROBIN MMX Spot is the new generation of 1200W Spot fixtures and the first in a new series of Robe moving lights designed to be energy-efficient and smaller in keeping with concept of ROBIN (Robe Innovative Technology).

The MMX Spot is compact and lightweight, with a small base. Using the ,b>Phillips MSR Platinum 35 lamp, and combined with a sophisticated optical system, the MMX Spot is a true equivalent of any 1,200W spotlight moving head on the market today. The company says

In some features, the MMX is as bright as a 1,500W spotlight and at the same time energy saving -- consuming about 30% less power than the current 1200W products.

Following the massive success of the ROBIN 600 LEDWash, Robe's fastest ever selling product, comes the 300 LEDWash, which is even smaller and neater in construction, with all the features of the 600 at a highly competitive price.

There is the option to simulate tungsten lamp behavior when dimming and switching off, complete with "red effect" and thermal delay.

Made with the same Cree 10W multichip RGBW LEDs as the 600 LEDWash, it has all the color mixing and homogenization qualities of the 600, plus true whites with a selection of pre-programmed color temperatures (2,700, 3,200, 4,200, 5,600, and 8,000K).

The CityFlex 48 is a user-configurable LED batten consisting of four modules using the latest Cree 10W RGBW multichip LEDs. The unit has a strong and uniform light output, the company says. The unique design (patent-pending) allows multiple lighting formats from one -- be it a compact floodlight format, traditional linear LED format, or a variety of different angled options.

Housed in a durable aluminum IP 65 rated casing, the CityFlex48 has excellent color mixing from a single-point-of-source with a definable pixel pitch, the company adds A universal mounting system gives multiple rigging options for floor, wall or on to trussing. A separate quiet convection cooled control unit running via DMX or RDM allows easy setup via control display screens, while DMX and power lines can be daisy chained via Powercon connectors.

Following huge demand for high quality moving LED fixtures in the wake of its Robin 600 LEDWash (RGBW), Robe launches the Robin 600 PureWhite, a white version for applications like TV, theatres, exhibitions and conferences, and anywhere needing a high-quality, low-powered white light with all the features and functionality of a moving light, such as pan/tilt and zoom etc.

There will be three versions: cool white (CW) at 6,000K, warm white (WW) at 3,200K and Smart White (SW), which is variable from 3,200-6,500K.

Used as a traditional white light source, the Robin 600 PureWhite has the potential to dramatically reduce heat output in studios, emitting virtually no heat due to its superior cooling management, the company says. Costs will be further slashed because less AC will be required to keep studios at a comfortable temperature for everyone working, the company adds.

The ROBIN 600 PureWhite features the same three rings of 10W Cree multichip LEDs as its color-changing counterpart, a fully homogenized light engine with no shadows or pixilation, producing a beautiful smooth quality of light throughout the full beam path, the company says.

Ring control, and dimming and other features and effects are all the same as the LEDWash 600 RGBW.

The new Robe DigitalSpot 3500 DT is a more powerful, enhanced version of the DigitalSpot 3000 DT. Combining the technologies of a moving light and video projector, Robe produces another powerful tool for their Digital Series.

This year at Prolight + Sound, in addition to its main booth C65, Robe also has another booth - C91, also known as The White Booth - located in the foyer of Hall 11.

This will feature a clean, contemporary design with a white Toyota Auris hybrid car at center stage, lit entirely with white-bodied versions of Robe's new Robin 600 PureWhite LED fixture.

Apart from illustrating a perfect potential application for the PureWhite luminaire -- car shows -- the idea is to highlight the parallels and environmentally friendly technologies of two very different global brands -- Robe and Toyota -- and to emphasize the mutual synergies in their respective product developments.

While Toyota is a pioneer of hybrid technologies in the automotive sector, Robe is -- and has been for some time -- taking a similar path in the professional lighting industry, and is fully focused on producing more environmentally friendly products with a greener footprint. This is both in terms of the manufacturing process, and the actual end products -- which are smaller, lighter, brighter, and massively more energy efficient than previous generations.

Robe's green initiative - "Think of the Future - Consider Nature" - was launched last year to underline the company's ongoing commitment to developing and producing genuinely cutting-edge, innovative and energy saving products.
