New weather-resistant players: iSpiider and iPointe65
Europe - Robe has launched two new products in its all-weather IP65-rated iSeries - the iPointe65 and the iSpiider – both suitable for exterior work or any damp, misty, steamy or high condensation environments.
The iPointe65 is a bright, high-performance multifunctional luminaire modelled on the company’s best-selling MegaPointe. The new fixture works equally well as a beam, spot, effects and wash, says Robe. Designed, developed, and manufactured to be sealed against water and particle ingress, the iPointe’s aluminium housing also gives a dust-free environment for the optical, gobo and colour systems, eliminating the need for frequent cleaning and maintenance.
Near-Field Communication (NFC) technology enables access setup, diagnostics and other performance-related features directly from a mobile device using the Robe Com app - even when the fixture is not powered.
The light source is a 310W lamp with a lifetime of up to 4,000 hours that has been developed for Robe by OSRAM. Providing 12,000 lumens - measured at the front lens - the source produces a “crystal clear, razor-edged beam” adjustable from a tight, punchy 1.8° column to a wide 42° spot.
iPointe65 is an easy fixture swap / clone with Robe’s popular MegaPointe, featuring the same DMX control channels and feature set.
Meanwhile, the iSpiider features an advanced protective design and is also happy in the rain. Modelled on Robe’s successful Spiider LED wash beam, iSpiider is a bright, high-performance luminaire, retaining all the favourite features of the indoor version.
Like the iPointe65, it is effectively and robustly sealed to prevent water and particle ingress strictly adhering to the IP65 rating, so users can be confident of both its protection efficacy and its great performance.
The aluminium housing ensures that the optics stay dust-free and that the plastic elements are UV-protected, eliminating the need for frequent cleaning and routine maintenance.
As with the iPointe65, onboard NFC technology enables remote access for diagnostic and performance features from a mobile device or smartphone via the Robe Com app.
These two new iSeries products join the iBar and the iParFect 150TM as Robe’s family of weather resilient outdoor fixtures expands.
