Jess Otzen and Fredrik Lisborg from Sound & Light, Aalborg, with Johan Kvartborg from Robe
Denmark - Sound and Light is a busy rental company based in the bustling port and university town of Aalborg on the edge of the gently rolling, lush countryside of Jutland, north Denmark, and a recent investor in Robe's BMFL Spot moving light fixtures.

Focused on servicing the top end of the entertainment lighting market - incorporating TV productions, corporate events and industrials plus installations - Sound and Light was founded in the 1980s by Jess Otzen.

Due to its reputation for excellence and incredibly well maintained stock, looked after with much love and attention in their pristine warehouse on the outskirts of the city, Sound and Light also engage in a healthy cross-hire business to most other major rental players in Denmark.

Sound and Light's 16 x new BMFL Spots were added to their existing stock of Robe Pointes, also delivered by Robe's Danish distributor Light Partner.

Both Robe purchases were prompted by market demand and because the Pointes and the BMFL Spots "fitted their needs perfectly" explained Jess.

They had been looking at the BMFL range for a while after the success of the Pointes, when two separate high profile TV shows - The TV2 Christmas Show and The Playlist broadcast on national TV channel 2 on New Year's Eve - were confirmed, and BMFLs specified by LD Mikkel Moltzen. Both shows staged at Aalborg Musikkens Hus.

It was the high output and the general functionality of the BMFLs that initially made them look at the product.

"They are a premium product so that was one of our requirements, but also we strongly believe that 'less is more', and investments like this where you can get more creativity and impact using fewer fixtures is really ideal for us."
