The Singapore lighting design and rental company Highlight Systems -- run by Roy Chooi -- has just invested in 36 Robe ROBIN 300 Spots for its rental stock.

The company has been operating for five years and is currently based in the central Ubi Avenue area of Singapore. Highlight's core business is lighting design -- and for these projects the company will also usually supply the equipment, as well as doing direct rentals and installations.

Chooi bought his first Robe moving lights -- ColorSpot 700E ATs -- two years ago from Louis Teo at Robe SEA (South East Asia). He has been extremely happy with their performance and reliability. When the ROBIN 300 Series was launched, he immediately arranged a demo with Robe SEA, which resulted in this latest sale.

"I like the brightness and the features/functionality of the ROBIN 300 Spots," Chooi says. "And, of course, the fantastic support and service from Robe SEA". He emphasizes that this technical support element of the equation is vital to any rental company, and an area where Robe offer standards that no other brand in the country can currently match.

He also likes the zoom, and the CTO and CMY color flag system of the Robin 300E Spot, which produces very smooth fades and color mixing. The light weight is also a great advantage for many of the medium to small venues, and the low power consumption is also a definite bonus, as in many Singapore venues, the power supply is restricted to 1 x 63A 3-phase supply to be shared by all production departments.

Louis Teo comments, "The fact that a respected designer like Roy has endorsed this product means a lot in Singapore .... many people look to Roy and other proactive lighting designers, and take their lead from the products they are using and specifying."

Since the new Robin 300 Spots were delivered, they have been used for numerous University Cultural Centre dance shows in several different theatres and for a THK-produced charity variety show for Channel 8 TV, shot at the Mediacorp broadcast studios.
