The ESPRITE FS is equipped with a digital camera, mounted on the head, allowing it to be connected to the Robe RoboSpot™ Base Station for remote Follow Spot control.

With our unique, ground-breaking TRANSFERABLE ENGINE technology, you have a choice of engines. The TE™ 650W HP White LED Engine (HP – High Performance), producing the highest output possible, or the TE™ 650W HCF White LED Engine (HCF – High Colour Fidelity) for those requiring exceptional colour quality. Now you can fit either engine within the same fixture, without alignment or warranty issues, within five minutes! Without the expense, and complication of needing to have separate luminaires with differing sources, TRANSFERABLE ENGINES give you the right engine, in the right fixture, at the right time!

The revolutionary self-referencing, data capturing engines are all designed, developed and manufactured within our own factory (Patents pending). Performance has not been compromised, with the TE™ 650W HP White 6.700 K LED Engine producing a piercing 34.000 lm and the TE™ 650W HCF White 6.000 K LED Engine 24.000 lm with its exceptionally high inherent CRI of 96. The L70/B50 ratings of 50.000 hours, means longevity is assured.

This is enhanced by our legendary precision optics to produce crystal clear white light, ideal for Follow Spot applications. The comprehensive feature set is all available on the FS version and includes: Flat field CMY mixing; variable CTO; remotely selectable CRI 70/80/90 (HP Engine); two fast colour wheels; one indexable and rotatable gobo wheel; a fixed gobo wheel CTO filters; 6-facet rotating prism; 1° soft edge and 5° wash type frosts; an animation wheel and spectacular multi-colour effects. Quick, accurate, easy framing is provided, if required, via our patented fast framing shutter module with individual blade control and +/-60° rotation capability for extra fine control. ESPRITE Profile by design removes any airflow over the optics, resulting in reduced residue deposits thus extending periods between cleaning.

By including Cpulse™ flicker-free management system for the latest cameras, and our L3™ Low Light Linearity dimming for ultra-smooth fade to black for seamless integration into traditional lighting rigs, you have a feature rich, very high output, long lasting, future proof package ideal for Follow Spot applications in a compact 29.4 kg housing.

Innovations

TE™ - Robe’s Transferable LED Engines

The TE™ technology addresses the problem of performance longevity of ageing LEDs by making the exchange of the engine a simple procedure that can be carried out in just a few minutes. But transferable means so much more than replaceable!

Cpulse™ - Pulse Width Modulation Control

Cpulse™ is a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control system for luminaires that allows you to select and fine-tune the LED driving frequency to ensure no flicker will be visible on any camera system.

Robe NFC controller and app

The Robe COM application is an app based on NFC (Near Field Communication). It can be either used to access to fixture’s settings of our NFC-based navigation display systems as well as reading out data of our TE™ Transferable Engines.

MCE™ - Split and multicolour effects

Robe offers unique split- or multi colour effects in two ways on our profiles and spot fixtures to add a whole new blend of creativity to your designs!

EMS™ - Electronic Motion Stabiliser

The Robe Electronic Motion Stabiliser is a technology for exact Pan and Tilt movements and reduces vibrations from audio outputs, truss movement and sprung or suspended floors.

L3™ - Low Light Linearity System

The L3™ Low Light Linearity System produces imperceptible, ultra-smooth fades to black.

REAP™ - Robe Ethernet Access Portal

The Robe Ethernet Access Portal allows to access internal data from a networked fixture, viewed as a web page, addressable via the fixtures network IP.

HotSpot lens for LED profilers

By introducing our unique, patented 6:1 ratio hotspot lens, we alter the field characteristics to create a centre-weighted, peaked beam. By adding a frost filter, you can now effortlessly achieve silky-smooth washes!

GDTF – General Device Type Format

The General Device Type Format creates a unified definition for exchange of data for the operation of intelligent luminaries, such as moving lights. The file format is human readable and developed using open source formats.

Slot&Lock Gobos

Robe's "SLOT&LOCK" system allows for easy and fast replacement of both rotatable and indexable gobos.

QVGA Robe Touch Screen Display System

The QVGA Robe touch screen display gives full access to all fixture setup and diagnostic functions and is very intuitive to navigate.

Plano4™ Framing shutters

Robe's patented Plano4™ 4 blade framing shutter module offers absolute beam control with each blade on an individual level with separate movement and rotation control. They are ultra-thin, enabling them all to be focused sharp, without any distortion. They can be easily used in combination with a gobo – and even if you add colour, you will experience no chromatic aberration, also referred to as "Fringing", making our innovative framing shutters really stand out!

airLOC™

Our latest AirLOC™ (Less Optical Cleaning) technology greatly reduces the level of airborne particles drawn over the optical elements.

Epass™

Robe lighting’s Epass™ provides Ethernet in/out connections with a pass-through switch that sustains Ethernet integrity when the fixture has no power to automatically maintain network connectivity.

MagFrost™

There is no need to be stuck with frosts supplied with the fixture! Robe’s MagFrost™ magnetic paddle system provides you with quickly exchangeable frosts, enabling you to select those most suitable for your production.

Cirkusrevyen Gets Laughing with Robe

Cirkusrevyen (Circus Review) is hugely popular and the longest-running review performance in Denmark, with a 6-month season kicking off every year since 1935 except for 1945 (due to fire) and 2020 (due to you know what!). Staged in a purpose-built big top tent in Klampenborg, Dyrehavsbakken north of Copenhagen, known and loved for its incisive and hilarious style of political satire … the 2021 season was lit for the first time using Robe ESPRITE moving lights.
