Robe reveals retro LEDs at TPi Awards
- Details
Twenty pixelPATT fixtures were seen for the first time in public last night at the 2017 Total Production International (TPi) Awards in London.
It was a bold and inspired move by Robe to launch the new fixture in front of the industry, and CEO Josef Valchar comments that this totally contemporary PATT fixture is set to mirror the success of the classic PATT 2013 and the smaller picklePATT.
pixelPATT is composed of seven 30W RGBW LED multi-chips – one in the centre surrounded by a ring of six – housed in a super-slim and lightweight brushed metal frame. Aesthetically it keeps the dimensions and attractive curvature of the PATT 2013 and the picklePATT, and this will also make it desirable for its physical appearance as well as for a lightsource.
With individual control of each pixel and therefore full pixel-mapping capabilities it is versatile and each pixel has a 200mm aluminium parabolic reflector to maintain continuity with the PATT aesthetic.
Strong in output, it can be smoothly dimmed between 0 and 100 per cent via the high resolution electronic dimmer and has an excellent array of CT whites ranging from a glowing 2.700K to a crisp 8.000K, plus a virtual colour wheel pre-set with 66 LEE colours.
Lighting for this year’s TPi Awards - staged at Battersea Evolution, presented by Russell Kane, attended by around 1400 industry professionals and produced by TPi Magazine, part of Mondiale Publishing Ltd. - was designed by Nathan Wan and featured 350 Robe lighting fixtures.
