Robe’s partner companies Anolis and Artistic Licence will be on adjacent stands and this area of the show floor will be a lively and interactive ‘takeover’ space where all are welcome to enjoy the tech, innovation, drama, and great vibes!

Products Launched

iFORTE® LTX WB is currently the brightest fixture on the market and an ultimate long throw LED wash beam for all environments, developed for stadium shows, concerts and all events and spectaculars where serious intensity is needed over massive distances.

Powered by Robe’s internally designed, developed, patented, and manufactured iSE-TE™ 1000W XP (Xtra Performance) IP65-rated White LED TRANSFERABLE ENGINE, this produces an incredible, industry-leading 335.000 Lux at 5 metres!

Robe’s powerful data-capturing TRANSFERABLE ENGINE technology offers all the advantages of field exchange, cost-effective replacement, plus the ability to keep up with LED development to ensure an exceptionally long fixture life. With typical lumen maintenance of L70\B50 50.000 hours, the 4-year 20.000-hour warranty gives peace of mind, whatever the weather.

The iFORTE LTX WB can create an imposing visual statement with its beautiful solid beam and 245 mm front lens.

Innovative optics help attain outstanding WashBeam functionality! The luminaire also contains three zoom modes: Standard Optical Mode for the widest 3.5° - 55°coverage; a Follow Spot Mode of 2°-55° and Long Throw Follow Spot Mode producing an ultra-tight 0.8 – 2° to deliver tight, crisp beams without any intensity loss over long distances.

FORTE Fresnel and FORTE PC

Robe’s FORTE® Fresnel and PC washes also utilise the brand’s revolutionary TRANSFERABLE ENGINE technology and this maintains super bright light quality over time, combined with an innovation-packed high-output wash luminaire.

Both products deliver powerful, intense washes without losing any theatrical subtlety or control, featuring either the classically soft fresnel beam or the slightly more defined PC beam, they are great for any performance space and application.

The wide-ranging zoom from 6°- 61°(Fresnel) and 5.5°- 62° (PC) offers complete even coverage making the FORTE® Fresnel comparable to a traditional 2.5 KW fresnel luminaire.

The new Robe TE™ 1.000W XP (Xtra Performance) White 6.700 K LED Transferable Engine generates an incredible 90.200 lumens to ensure high output for those BIG bold statement washes. Both models output over 41.000 lumens from the front of the fixture, offering amazing power and exceptional beam quality.

These revolutionary self-referencing, data-capturing engines are easily changed within five minutes, and are designed, manufactured (and patented) by Robe. The L70/B50 ratings of 50.000 hours and a 4-Year, 20.000-hour warranty assure longevity and continuity.

The CMY colour mixing system provides buttery smooth colour transitions from the subtlest pastels to the strongest saturates, continuing Robe’s reputation for exceptional colour mixing. Two colour wheels, CRI 80 and 90 filters, plus a variable CTO from 3.000 - 6.700 K ensure there is a full range of colour finesse.

The FORTE® Fresnel has unsurpassed levels of beam control, including medium and light frosts; RotaScrim™ a graduated filter system with position control, +/- 180° rotation and edge colour correction; and the rapid 4Door™ internal barndoor system for accurate individual blade control and +/- 90° module rotation.

This gives maximum flexibility compared to most other large fresnel luminaires.

And ... as always with Robe, there will be one or two great looking surprise products on the stand – seen for the first time only at PLASA 2023!

Robe’s architectural and LED lighting brand Anolis has its own space on Stand C28 and Anolis will highlight its new CalummaTM, AmbianeTM and EminereTM product ranges.

The Ambiane SP range has been expanded with an adjustable version of the downlight and a new pendant version which offer the same key features - homogenous light output, power balancing, 18-bit dimming and TV friendly green +/- control. Currently these are available in Pure White, Tuneable White, RGBW and Tungsten Dim formats.
