Having already conquered the arena and stadium markets with their highly successful BMFL line of fixtures, Robe set their sights on designing a fixture that was equally valuable in the theater, television and touring markets. It was the combination of these three genre names that led to the title of this new LED sourced moving light called the T1. It undoubtedly caters to all designer needs with just one fixture.
I’ve been given a back-room demo by the pros working the Robe booth at the recent Prolight + Sound show in Frankfurt. The first thing I notice is the fixture is slick looking physically, with nice curves on the outside, but easy access screws to get at anything necessary. While I will explain all the features as we go, the surprising part is how compact and light this fixture is for a product that has everything a DP or live stage designer could ask for, weighing in at a mere 54 pounds. I will concentrate on the original profile, but they have also added a FS (follow spot) model with a camera for remote followspotting as well as a wash model in both Fresnel and PC lens versions.
