UK - Robe will have a big presence at PLASA Show 2025 - on stand A70 - and will be launching six new products – T3 Profile, iPAINTE LTM, SVOPATT Classic, Footsie1 MC and Footsie2 MC plus the new PowerDolly.
These will be available in one of the demo theatres for interested parties to see up close and to receive detailed demonstrations.
A new expo cycle live performance concept show Excalibur will also be premiered. This will be ‘full of cool, high-impact surprises and gravity-defying performance thrills from acrobat Oskar Skrypko… plus surprise guests’.
Produced by Robe’s in-house creative team, Excalibur will riff on the delight and drama of Arthurian legends – complete with the ‘lights of the round table’ and the magical sword … all with a contemporary twist and a specially compiled soundtrack, capitalising on the excitement of PLASA being staged in London, one of the world’s major entertainment capitals.
The show lighting design will involve over 300 fixtures chosen from current product lines, including SVB1, SVOPATT, iESPRITE LTL, iFORTE LTX, Painte Fresnel, WTF!, LedPOINTE, T15 Fresnel, iT12, iBOLT and Footsie, as well as RoboSpot. The show will demonstrate all of these first-hand in a live real-world situation for which they have been developed.
Excalibur will play five times a day throughout the three-day PLASA expo, with the first show of the day starting at 11am.
All of Robe’s businesses will be located on adjacent stands with a clear interconnection and visual harmony running through all stand designs. Avolites is on Stand C28 with Anolis, Artistic Licence and LSC on Stand A76.
This positioning enables all to benefit from the constant busy traffic to Robe’s stand and demonstrates the synergistic and collaborative reach of the whole group in offering complete innovative lighting solutions for all entertainment, leisure and commercial environment scenarios.
As in previous years, Robe will feature two public demo areas where customers can see and examine the new products first-hand, together with popular favourites.
Products here will include iESPRITE LTL, iFORTE LTX, LedPOINTE, T.5 Profile, T1, T32 Cyc, WTF!, Footsie 1, iBeam 350, iBOLT, iT12, RoboSpot, iSpiiderX, SVB1, SVOPATT, T11 Profile and T15 Fresnel.
There will also be a private area – by invitation only – for seeing potential future technologies.
Robe’s WTF! super strobe will be on display in PLASA’s Innovation Gallery, where it is one of the contenders for an Award.
WTF! is robustly built for all environments and delivers turbocharged strobe, wash, and blinder effects.
Robe always looks forward to PLASA. As one of the world’s entertainment industry hubs, PLASA is a great opportunity to meet industry acquaintances, friends and contacts, new and existing, discuss business and stay connected to the action and buzz of the technology and the individuals using it creatively and inventively for their work and projects.
Robe’s architectural sister company, Anolis, highlights two new product lines at this year’s PLASA.
First is the Appoli S MC, a compact fixture available in both ‘Anolis’ and ‘Robe’ editions. Designed for maximum versatility, it delivers a rich, even light output and can be tailored more precisely with different beam angles and colour options.
The Robe edition is geared to live events and entertainment environments, while the Anolis version is optimised for outdoor and architectural applications.
Joining Appoli S MC on the stand is the Lamari linear system. Offered in four lengths, Lamari combines sleek proportions with high-performance colour mixing and precision optics.
LSC Control Systems will showcase its latest lighting control innovations, including the new APSX and GENX systems. These advanced dimming and power distribution solutions now feature enhanced Ethernet connectivity, offering greater integration, flexibility, and efficiency for modern A/V and lighting environments.
The company will also preview the upcoming WPX Wall Plate range, designed for seamless playback and control of the Mantra Mini and APSX systems
Lighting control and integration manufacturer Artistic Licence will debut their cueLumen series at PLASA Show. The cueLumen series reimagines architectural and entertainment lighting control with an emphasis on openness, simplicity, and user empowerment.
