Event Lighting Slovenia Adds First Robe MMX WashBeams in SloveniaLjubljana-based Event Lighting is one of the largest lighting rental companies in Slovenia. The company is active in all sectors of the professional entertainment / leisure, broadcast, and corporate industries. Event Lighting was founded in 2005 by Jernej Gustin. Prior, Gustin had worked as a freelance lighting technician and designer / operator. In 2002 he first started using Robe products for his work, shortly after the Robe brand was launched. He noted, as soon as he started using Robe moving lights, he was convinced that there were special qualities about the brand, which led him as a freelancer to invest in his own set of moving lights - Wash and Spot 575 XT fixtures. These luminaires are still in Event Lighting's hire stock today, still busy and providing consistent, trouble-free service. Event Lighting's Robe stock now includes well over 100 units. The last year has seen investment in the newest Robe Robin range -- the Robin 600 LEDWash, the ROBIN 600E Spot and most recently, the first MMX WashBeams -- which have just been delivered via Robe's distributor MK Light Sound d.o.o., also based in Ljubljana. "The price-to-performance ratio with Robe is excellent," confirms Gustin. "And the reliability of the product just keeps on proving itself over and over." He qualifies this saying he's worked with many other brands over the years and knows it to be true from his own experience. The market in Slovenia is relatively small, so it's important that every fixture is a multipurpose tool and adds real value to any lighting rig. Of the new Robin series Gustin comments, "The units have the perfect light output in relation to the (small) size and (light) weight of the fixture. We can save all round using these fixtures -- on truck space, rigging requirements, weight loading, and crew." He says that the Robin LEDWash 600 was the first LED moving light product that has really impressed him with a manufacturer listening to end-users, particularly with reference to the excellent range of real whites. Event Lighting's LEDWash 600s have been used on a myriad of conferences, exhibitions, and trade shows where they are a perfect complement to other white light sources. The low power consumption also makes the options on power distribution highly practical and flexible. Recent shows serviced by Event Lighting include Slovenia's biggest dance event, the Red Xmas Party, which saw 12,000 people celebrate the festive holidays, headlined by Armin van Buuren and including over 70 Robe fixtures on the rig.
