The Robe Group and all its businesses were displaying at the 2025 Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) expo in Barcelona. Robe launched two new products, the iSTROBE™ and iESPRITE® LTL WashBeam, underlining the growing influence and importance of this trade show for the rental, staging and live events sectors.
Several other new products were showcased including the just launched iFORTE® Fresnel, the PAINTE® Fresnel, the SVOPATT™, and the SVB1™.
The Robe Group’s businesses – architectural and LED lighting brand Anolis, UK-based lighting console and media server manufacturer Avolites, Australian-based power distribution company LSC Control Systems, and lighting control and integration solutions specialist Artistic License – all had their own sections on the booth, illustrating the synergy which is integral to Robe’s vision and plans for the future.
iSTROBETM
Robe’s iSTROBE is built to deliver blazing stroboscopic brilliance, and exceptional performance for any production, anytime, anywhere. With incredible speed, three rapid motorized zooms, including a unique linear zoom for the central white LED strobe and continuous pan and tilt rotational control, the iSTROBE™ is the most dynamic moving multi-zoomed strobe on the market. The main features include an Extreme output and unrivalled zoom control providing bright washes and intense beam of light plus an incredible High Intensity Blinder feature. Exceptionally Fast Pan and Tilt and Zonal control for mapping up the dynamics and macros make for even faster programming. Precise control of every beat is possible with variable flash durations and the fixtures additionally benefit from Robe’s patented RAINS™, POLAR+™ and parCOAT™ IP65 active protection technologies.
iESPRITE® LTL WashBeam
Inspired by Robe’s award-winning iFORTE® LTX WB, the smaller and lighter iESPRITE® LTL WB combines iSERIES durability with next-generation performance and enormous versatility for concerts, theatre, and broadcast applications – indoors or outdoors. The iESPRITE® LTL WashBeam has a class-leading form factor, optical precision with an impressive 200mm front lens and a rich feature-set, delivering high performance medium-to-long throw output from its compact, well-protected 37 kg frame.
Main features include longevity and performance with Robe’s patented and internally manufactured iSE-TE™ 750W XP (Xtra Power) and HCF (High Color Fidelity) White LED engines, which are easy to install, exchange or replace. Total color control is achievable via the CMY color mixing system, and there is Zoom range flexibility according to mode … all without any intensity drop due to the engaged iris. A complete effects package will offer fantastic scope for boosting imaginations and amazing looks, while total outdoor protection is provided by active patented RAINS™, POLAR+™ and parCOAT™ IP protection technologies.
The iESPRITE® LTL WashBeam is broadcast friendly and also has other advanced Robe technologies like Plano4™ FC full curtain shutters, MAPS™ static calibration and airLOC™ cooling for ultra-quiet operation and cleaner optics. RoboSpot™ ready iESPRITE LTL WashBeam is internally pre-wired and pre-balanced for IP65 camera installation and use as a remote follow spot or connection to a Robe RoboSpot™ system.
iFORTE Fresnel
The most powerful fresnel wash of the Robe iSeries, the IP65-rated iFORTE® Fresnel delivers a beautiful soft beam with advanced control, designed for the harshest weather. The iFORTE® Fresnel combines immense power with great subtlety and is ideal for any outdoor show environment. To maximize the flexible beam control, Robe’s patented PLANO4™ framing shutter module features four individual blades on separate planes with a module rotation of +/- 60°.
PAINTE Fresnel
The compact yet potent PAINTE has been a massive success for Robe proving that small is definitely beautiful. The PAINTE® Fresnel delivers a quiet, quality wash solution for short to medium-throw applications in theatrical, television, installation, live or corporate settings.
SVOPATT
Robe has created a brand new super-cool original fixture in the SVOPATT™ – and as with all Robe products, it’s proudly made in the Czech Republic. SVOPATT™ transforms a unique classic design into a cool contemporary housing with nine individual modules each containing 7 x 40W RGBW multichips and the center pixel also containing a 200W white LED strobe – seriously bright, worthy of its lineage and ready to make an impact both as a scenic element and a source of captivating effects. Each individual module contains a motorized zoom with a range of 3.8° – 50° so tight beams or wide washes can be created from each module.
SVB1
The eye-catching SVB1™ is a multifunctional effect, beam, and wash luminaire, a versatile, compact powerhouse in the new Robe SVOPATT™ family. It delivers high-output and extreme speed with continuous pan and tilt rotation for spectacular results. With seven individual 40W RGBW LED cells plus a central pixel with both RGBW and a powerful 200W white strobe LED module, the SVB1™ offers full pixel mapping for anything from mind-blowing to beautifully ephemeral looks and effects. The SVB1™ stands out with its motorized zoom range, offering precise 3.8° beams to expansive 50° washes.
