Cape Town based rental company, Ultra Event Technical Solutions, have purchased eight Robin 300s and expect to order an additional eight during the year.
Costa Champanis, owner of Ultra Event, took ownership of four Robin 300 Spots during December while a further four Robin 300 Beams are to be delivered this week.
Doing his homework, Costa essentially carried out research over the internet when it was time to buy extra lighting for upcoming events. Once he had seen the Robin series at the Baxter Theatre, where DWR Distribution had the units on display, his mind was made up and he ordered the fixtures on the same day. “We endeavour to be on the leading edge of technology in our business, and to this end there is no other option in its class,” said Costa. “The light weight, speed, advanced features, great optics and immense light output make them a no-brainer.”
The Robin 300 Spots were used over the festive period at various events, where the crew from Ultra Event enjoyed having the ability to pre-address the fixtures without power, they also like the light weight and that the units have the same gobo sizes as other Robe fixtures up to the 700 series.
“We wanted the complimentary, speed and power and colour temperature, and then the tightest beam possible,” added Costa referring to the new Robin 300 Beams. And he ends, “A personal and professional thank-you to Duncan and the DWR crew for their rock-solid and unwavering support, which translates through us, to our business and clients”
There is currently no other package on the market that has the features of the Robin 300. “You have all the features of a Robe 700 Spot and more in a 300 Watt package,” commented Duncan Riley from DWR Distribution. “The light output is close to a 575 if not equivalent.”
All in all, it’s a great Package! Thanks Ultra Event for the support.
