"Here at Black Light we've always been great fans of Robe's products due to their high quality and exceptional performance," says the company's events and hires manager, Calder Sibbald.
Black Light has chosen the Robe Robin Pointe because of its flexibility and performance. "It is a cross purpose light that will meet a wide range of lighting needs, including Beam, Spot, Wash and FX, and is a great beam light for events and music shows," says Sibbald.
The Robin MMX Blade uses the MMX discharge fixture, which can give an output comparable to 1200 W luminaries. It also adds a framing shutter system into the optical path.
"This is a fantastic theatrical light," says Sibbald. "The system's four shutter blades can be individually controlled within a frame which itself can rotate through 90 degrees. Not only will this provide a sharp or soft frame for the projected image, the system can also produce fast moving in-air effects using pre-programmed blade shape and movement sequences."
