Robe Launches Spiider Worldwide on the Web
The global launch of Robe’s highly anticipated new product and “Next Big Thing” - the Spiider - took
place at www.spiider.cz on 15th September 2016 CE Time, following an innovative and fun teaser video
and a huge amount of chatter that helped ramp excitement within lighting and visuals communities.
Spiider is set to redefine the parameters of moving LED wash light technology. The brand new LED Wash
luminaire – Spiider, builds on the extreme success of Robe’s best-selling ‘industry standard’ LEDWash
series … with a completely new concept and incredible optics.
It has one super bright 60W RGBW LED multichip in the centre which is surrounded by 18 x 30W RGBW LED
multichips, and it is this optical design that resembles the spider’s web that gave rise to the name.
It is also so much more than ‘just’ a wash!
It can be used as a beam, and - a first for LED wash light stage luminaires - it has an eye-popping
flower effect!
The impressive zoom goes from 4 - 48 degrees, while the light output is outstanding, offering more than
50.000 lumens at 5 metres.
Spiider has all the great features that made Robe’s LEDWash series a well-respected industry-wide product
for all applications, including a virtual colour wheel, tungsten lamp emulation, individual pixel
control, in-built wireless DMX on request and loads more.
Forty-two Spiiders were in action on the Robe stand at the PLASA expo in London in September. Besides
Spiider, Robe also showcased the Halo and the Viva LED.
Halo is a special bespoke new Robe LED ‘pixel technology’ device, which can be used to transform PAR
cans and add other dimensions to stage and TV sets, whilst the Viva LED is a moving light that has
driven the introduction of a CMY version of this small, punchy workhorse fixture.
