The atmosphere on the stand of Czech manufacturer Robe Show Lighting was upbeat, not just with their presence at the LDI show, but with the general level of acceptance its products have achieved, both in the US and globally. Harry Von Den Stemmen was very pleased to report that designers were now coming onto the company's booth especially to talk about Robe's fixtures as serious lighting tools - demonstrating a gratifying awareness and acceptance of the company's products in the marketplace.

The main new product focus at LDI was the LEDBlinder148, which was launched at PLASA in September. The LEDBlinder 196 and 148 units are Robe's first LED-based products aimed at entertainment applications. Fitted into industry-standard 8-lite and 4-lite casings, they bring the advantages of LED technology to an old stage lighting mainstay. Each two or four pairs of the 4- or 8-lite modules are separately controllable for additional effects and flexibility. The fixtures also come with a frost diffuser, ideal for set and cyc washing, say the company.
