Robe is using the buzz and hustle of the 2024 PLASA London expo to launch four new important and super-cool products – the iFORTE Fresnel, the PAINTE Fresnel, the SVOPATT and the SVB1.
The new ‘Robe Live’ expo production performance extravaganza will be premiered on stand A70 – “The Fifth Dimension”, featuring three live performers, LOTS of tech and heaps of imagination – guaranteed to be another blockbusting crowd magnet on the show floor. We are promised a few surprises in this show, and there are even rumors of one of Robe’s most popular ever products being present.
Robe’s other businesses – architectural and LED lighting manufacturer Anolis, networking and control specialist Artistic Licence, legendary UK-based console manufacturer Avolites and Australian-based power distribution gurus LSC – will all be located on adjacent stands.
This will illustrate the natural synergy and interconnection between all these leading brands which are integral to Robe’s future plans and visions.
The Fifth Dimension
The dramatic new live show will feature a diversity of Robe fixtures like iBOLT, iFORTE LTX, T32 Slim, Footsie1 and Footsie2 Slim, iSpiiderX, TetraX, Tetra2, the ever-popular LEDBeam 350, the RoboSpot remote follow spot system and the workhorse iT12 range of luminaires. This is a great forum to showcase the products in a setting for which they have been developed, and the lively timecoded show with real performers is specially designed by Robe’s in-house creative team and tailored to the booth space. Apart from drawing crowds to the stand to catch the action, it also gives a snapshot of what the fixtures are capable of. The show will play 5 times a day at 90-minute intervals, so stand by for some serious excitement on stand A70.
PLASA Awards
Three amazing Robe products are nominated for the 2024 PLASA Awards for Innovation – the iBOLT and both the newly launching PATTS – the SVB1 and SVOPATT. Robe will be presenting all its brands at the show – Anolis, Artistic Licence, Avolites and LSC – illustrating the great synergy and dynamics existing between all these entities.

SVOPATT
Iconic Czech luminaires are instantly recognizable in the lighting world, and Robe has been inspired to honour this past legacy … with the SVOPATT™.
As with all Robe products, it’s proudly made in the Czech Republic, SVOPATT™ features a cool contemporary housing with nine individual modules each containing 7 x 40W RGBW multichips and the centre pixel also containing a 200W white LED strobe – seriously bright, worthy of its lineage and ready to make an impact with the SVOPATT™ both as a scenic element and a source of captivating effects.
An RLCT™ lens coating helps maintain high performance and protects against scratches and scuffs whilst preventing particle adhesion, ensuring optics stay cleaner for longer. Multiple modes and protocols include ArtNet and sACN for easy pixel mapping; there is a choice a choice of RGB or CMY colour mixing modes; a variable CCT range; an onboard DataSwatch™ colour library with 66 preset colours, and tungsten lamp emulation. On top of that, the SVOPATT™ has a comprehensive colour control set. Each individual module contains a noise-dampened motorized zoom, and the 3.8° – 50° zoom range enables the creation of tight beams or wide washes from each individual module. Cpulse™ software eliminates on-screen flicker and the +/- green content control makes it great for studio environments and broadcast scenarios.
SVB1
The eye-catching SVB1™ is a multifunctional effect, beam, and wash luminaire, a versatile, compact powerhouse in the new Robe SVOPATT™ family.
