TE™ – Robe’s Transferable LED Engines

The TE™ technology addresses the problem of performance longevity of ageing LEDs by making the exchange of the engine a simple procedure that can be carried out in just a few minutes. But transferable means so much more than replaceable! Different sources can be fitted to one fixture depending on task. Every TE™ engine has its own, unique memory with all engine data of its usage.

MSL™ – Multi Spectral Light Source

Robe's MSL™ (Multi-Spectral Light) patented LED light engines are, specifically, designed to consistently deliver the highest quality light through the additive colour mixing method. The MSL spreads the emitted light equally throughout the Planck curve, thereby providing the widest possible colour gamut, while simultaneously delivering seamless full range CCT control. 

LSW™ – Laser Engine Series

It's time to revolutionize outdoor lighting like never before. With the ultra-powerful Robe LSW™ White source laser engines, you can not only touch the sky but also dominate it!

Opti-6™

Until now, achieving smooth, even coverage on larger cycloramas required increasing the distance between the lights and the cyclorama. This approach had two major drawbacks: reduced intensity and the occupation of valuable stage space. Our industry-leading Opti-6™ 6:1 height-to-distance ratio optical design, featured in our T31 and T32 Cyc™ lights, revolutionizes this process.

XR7™

Manufacturing high-output fixtures is challenging, but harnessing LED power to project over even greater distances is exceptionally difficult. However, Robe has broken the mold, taking LED fixtures to new heights. We've achieved what was previously thought impossible-producing narrow beams of light over long distances with stadium-level performance, a feat once exclusive to discharge source fixtures.

parCOAT™

To maintain consistently high lumen output, even with the rigours of outdoor performance, water, dirt, dust, haze, and smoke are repelled from the front lens with our unique parCoat™ hydrophobic, oleophobic resistant coating.

RLCT™ – Robe lens coating technology

Just like with spectacles, our lens coating technology protects soft plastic lenses against surface scratches, that can even occur during cleaning when scrubbed repeatedly. Anti-static properties prevent dust build-up on the lenses, thus extending the period between maintenance cleaning.

FW diffusers for pixelated washers

Robe fixtures homogenise beams really well but, for the ultimate smoothness, most of our pixelated LED wash lights can easily be fitted with a Fresnel Wash (FW) diffusion filter in-between the LED array and the lenses. They can also be ordered pre-installed if desired, as FW versions.

Beam Shaper

Robe's patented motorized Beam Shaper designed for multi-source LED washlights creates a traditional oval beam of ratio 3:1 or 4:1, that can be indexed to cover the desired stage or performance area. A perfect solution for car shows and exhibition stands.

HSL™ – HotSpot lens for LED profilers

By introducing our unique, patented 6:1 ratio hot-spot lens, we alter the field characteristics to create a centre-weighted, peaked beam. By adding a frost filter, you can now effortlessly achieve silky-smooth overlapping washes!

HotSpot Control for discharge lamps

Robe's motorized discharge lamp hot-spot control provides remote control of the beams hot-spot via a dedicated hot-spot control channel. A unique solution for long throw beam light applications.

FREM™ – Framing shutter emulation

Robe's innovative framing shutter emulation delivers a variety of beam shaping forms, usually only achievable with framing shutters and beam shapers.

ECC™ – Edge Colour Correction

Edge Colour Correction sets Robe wash moving heads aside from other fixtures by providing the ability to shift the edge of the beam to either the red or blue end. This feature allows more or less definition of the internal barndoors cut, as you alter the beam.

VertiSpot™

Lighting designers have long sought cyclorama lights with enhanced beam control, without sacrificing the qualities of asymmetric beam distribution. The unique, patented motorized VertiSpot™ feature provides vertical crossover point control for superior blending and vertical output variance when used from either the top or base of the cyclorama.

F2L™ – Outdoor Fresnel Lens

Traditional Fresnel lenses used outdoors, with their characteristic annular ridge design, are prone to collecting unwanted debris, which can obstruct their beam. To ensure consistently high lumen output despite the challenges of outdoor conditions like water, dirt, dust, haze and smoke, we have developed the patented F2L™ lens. This innovative design encloses the raised ridges of the concentric annular sections within the fixture to maintain traditional Fresnel beam qualities, while the smooth outer surface prevents debris build-up.

DataSwatch™ – inbuilt virtual colour library

The DataSwatch™ inbuilt virtual colour library for Robe LED fixtures provides consistent colour rendering with commonly matched filter ranges, allowing for rapid and accurate programming.
