The ColorWash 2500E AT is the most powerful wash light currently available in the Robe range. Using the MSR Gold 1200 SA/SE FastFit lamp and a 1400W electronic ballast, the fixture offers a smooth linear motorised zoom, full CMY + CTO colour mixing system, two colour wheels with six easily replaceable slots and combined dimmer/shutter unit.

Also highlighted will be Robe's newly released 700 Series of moving heads, featuring the ColorSpot 700E AT, ColorWash 700E AT and the ColorWash 750AT Tungsten. These are designed for all professional applications and installations.

The ColorSpot 700E AT utilises an MSR Gold 700 FastFit lamp and full CMY and CTO colour mixing systems. There's also a colour wheel with seven replaceable dichroic filters; a static gobo wheel with nine replaceable gobos and a rotating gobo wheel with seven replaceable gobos, a replaceable animation wheel and a rotating 3-facet prism.

Robe's StageQube 324 is a new-generation of LED panel designed for 'plug & play' applications, that don't require any external power supply or control boxes. The complete electronics are located in the IP54 housing, and an integrated rigging system means that very large systems can be built quickly and easily.

The Robe DigitalSpot 5000 DT offers two digital gobo layers with the selection of up to 244 x 255 video clips or images per layer. Two independent effects channels on each gobo layer offer 120 effects including kaleidoscope, squeeze in/out, alpha or black flash.

DigitalSpot 5000DT is aimed at all professional entertainment and leisure applications including concert touring, theatre and television productions, presentations of all types, clubs, multi-purpose venues and any situation integrating moving lights and digital imagery into the overall visual design.

The StageFaze 1500AT is the latest and most powerful of Robe's professional fazers. It is designed to produce very large volumes of faze quickly and quietly and has a specially designed vibration-fee air compressor for almost silent operation. The StageFaze 1500AT has a 2.5 Litre tank capacity and contains a 1500W heater.

Robe's new Club Series of moving lights includes the ClubSpot 150, 160, 300, 500 and 600 CT and the ClubWash 500 and 600 CT models as well as several lighting effects fixtures.
