Tylösand Sound invests in MegaPointes
- Details
The company, based in Halmstad and run by Paul Aladin, specialises in the supply of lighting, audio and video design services and equipment for shows, installations and corporate events. They deliver production for a lot of events at the nearby Tylösand Hotel, owned by pop superstar Per Gessle of Roxette which is located on the beach, with a large, busy and vibrant conference and event facility.
The company has also built up a reputation for working with a collection of inventive digital artists on their installations and shows, bringing a different and more inventive edge to the array of standard lighting projects.
Paul started Tylösand Sound in 1996, and before then, like many in the Swedish entertainment technology industry, he worked hard as a DJ, and through this built up a relationship with Robe’s Swedish distributor Bellalite, which has remained strong and solid. Where possible, he will use Bellalite to source his new lighting technology as and when it comes on-stream.
“I think Robe has always developed smaller and more interesting products,” he commented when asked about how his history with the brand developed.
His first Robe products were purchased back when the brand first launched in the early noughties with the XT and then quickly followed by the AT series. The investment in the Czech moving light brand has continued until this day, with MegaPointes being the latest, purchase and LEDBeam 150s in the immediate pipeline.
“The MegaPointe is an excellent choice for all of our work - we can use it absolutely everywhere,” he stated.
Another recent Robe purchase for Tylösand Sound has been pickelPATTs, and they have been used to light a couple of key cars on display at the local Volvo dealership in Halmstad, including the classic P1800 original ‘James Bond’ two-seater.
