New products include:

The company says the WTF! (Wash Twist Flash) offers incredible speed, three rapid motorized zooms -- including a unique linear zoom for the central white LED strobe -- and continuous pan and tilt rotational control. Its open is created using seventy-two 20W linear white LEDs and sixteen 60W RGBW LEDs. It also offers what the company says is the world's first linear motorized zoom: 98 by 14 degrees to 125 by 97 degrees for the central white strobe. The second is the 13-to-95-degree zoom for the two RGBW sections. The High Intensity Blinder feature adds 1,000W of warm white and amber LEDs, generating effects in the 1.800K -- 3.200K range with tungsten emulation of lamps from 750W to 2,500W. The pan-and-tilt features offers 360 degrees continuous rotation control with EMS stabilizer technology for instant stop capabilities. Zonal control enables mapping across 12 white strobe zones plus 16 RGBW zones with macros for faster programming. The company adds that precise control of every beat is possible utilizing flash durations of 13ms - 860ms and a variable rate of between 0.3Hz - 30Hz. The product also benefits from Robe's patented RAINS, POLAR+, and parCOAT IP65 active protection technologies.

LedPOINTE is an LED spot, beam, wash, and effects unit. It has an advanced TE 280W HP (high-performance) white LED TRANSFERABLE ENGINE, delivering 200,000 lux at 5m. With an L70 rating of 50,000 hours, the unit's features include a 155mm front lens, a 2:1 beam hot-spot ratio, and a flexible 1.8 - 44-degree zoom range.

Color control is via CMY mixing system, which the company says. allows easy blending of hues from delicate pastels to deep saturates. This was one of the most requested features after the original Pointe proved such a winner. A color wheel contains 13 dichroic colors, and the onboard DataSwatch library provides instant access to favourite colors; the most,popular calibrated whites - 2,700K, 3,200K, 4,200K, 5,600K, and 8.000K are included.

The company adds that fast, smooth fixture movement is guaranteed with continuous pan rotation and Robe's patented EMS (electronic motion stabilizer) software for instant and precise stopping eliminating unwanted shakes or hysteresis.

Inspired by Robe's award-winning iFORTE LTX WB, the smaller and lighter iESPRITE LTL WB combines iSeries is designed for concerts, theatre, and broadcast applications, indoors or outdoors. Its features include a 200mm front lens and a compact 37kg frame.

The fixture is available with a choice of Robe's patented, IP65-rated iSE-TE 750W white LED TRANSFERABLE ENGINES. The XP (high performance) engine delivers a 6,700K color temperature, and a fixture output of 35,000 lumens (integrating sphere) for 250,000 lux at 5m with a CRI of 70, which, the company says, is 50% greater than any other class-compatible product currently available.

Alternatively, the HCF (high color fidelity) engine offers a 6,000K color temperature, a 22,750-lumen output (integrating sphere), for an illuminance of 140,000 lux at 5m with an exceptional CRI of 96.

The iESPRITE LTL WashBeam's standard optical range mode delivers a 3 - 57-degree zoom, while narrowing the iris allows coverage from 2 - 57 degrees. The long throw mode -- using Robe's patented XR7 technology -- provides a beam from 0.7 - 2 degrees without any intensity loss.

The fixture's CMY color-mixing system, combined with dual color wheels and a variable CTO range of 3,000 to 6,700K, ensures super-smooth transitions from rich saturates to delicate pastels. The onboard patented green content control ChromaTint technology allows rapid adjustment for broadcast environments.

The luminaire features camFIT, so is pre-wired and pre-balanced for the addition of the dedicated IP65-rated RoboSpot camera if required.

The T31 Cyc / T32 Cyc fixtures feature Opti-6 -- a 6:1 height-to-distance ratio asymmetrical optical system that produces a flat, uniform field coverage even when near the cyclorama. The low-laying, easily interconnectable units contain powerful RGBBAL multi-chip LEDs to generate high light levels that faithfully reproduce those full-spectrum colours and tints favoured by all designers. The new half-size T31 Cyc / T31 Cyc Slim luminaires make lighting smaller cycs, set pieces, and more compact venues more flexible and adaptable.

Avolites Ltd will present the D7, the latest addition to its Diamond collection of consoles, with two variants, D7-330 and D7-215, positioned as the ultimate travel and performance console, packable into a standard Peli Air case for checking in as hold luggage to fly anywhere.

In-person training on Avo's Titan console software will also be available to book on the stand throughout the show.

Other hardware will include the flagship D9-330 & D9-215 lighting control consoles along with the T3 and T3 Wing, Avo's smallest-footprint professional lighting control product, where portability, compactness, and performance are crucial.

The Tiger Touch II and Arena consoles now include increased memory capacity and are optionally available in a slick, modern grey-and-black finish, which will be see at the show for the first time. The Quartz console, designed for cost-conscious projects, will be on show.

Avo's Q-series media server range will also be present, with the Q3 demonstrating the Synergy feature set (uniting lighting and video.) Anolis will focus on three principal product ranges -- Agame, Lyrae, and Eminere -- all of which will be prominent in their section of the Robe booth.

Agame luminaires are IP67-rated fixtures for enhancing windows and arches, complete with a seamless 180-degree beam angle. Highlighting the importance of precise color temperatures in creating the perfect ambience, the new Agame family is currently offered in RGBW, RGBA, pure white, and tunable white versions.

Pure white Agame options in 2,200K and 3,000K and tunable white -- for seamless adjustment between 2,200K and 3,000K -- are recent expansions to the range, widening the flexibility and creative possibilities for lighting professionals.

The company says the Lyrae range makes challenging in-ground installations easier. The light source can be remotely tilted 25 degrees from the horizontal position for accurate illumination of the selected surface. Additionally, the range can be fitted with anti-skid glass, meeting the highest anti-slip standards of certification with no impact on the fixture's color mixing.

The Lyrae Series recently expanded with static WallWasher versions in XS Fix, S, and M sizes, designed for precise and consistent architectural applications. These new fixtures have advanced wall-washing optics with uniform illumination and smooth transitions.

The heart of the static WallWasher is billed as an innovative optical design for seamless light distribution across all surfaces. The optics are engineered to eliminate uneven and patchy lighting, providing a flawless wash to enhance textures, colors, and architectural or environmental details.

Anolis announces significant enhancements to its Eminere Inground series, introducing the multi-chip version.

This advanced model incorporates RGBW, RGBA, TW or pure white multi-chip LEDs. Available in 1', 2', and 4" sizes (300/600/1200mm), the multi-chip version offers a wide range of beam angles and is suitable for flood lighting, wall grazing, or washing and accent lighting.

Additionally, the single-chip Eminere Inground luminaires have been refreshed for increased reliability.

LSC's Prolight+Sound 2025 highlights will include UNITOUR, the brand's premium portable power solution (with patented technologies), designed to deliver power to video, audio, and lighting systems used in events, touring, film, and TV productions. Available as 24 or 48-channel modular systems, UNITOUR offers such features as earth leakage monitoring per channel, staggered start-up, dropped neutral protection, and more.

Also showing will be LSC's new UNIPLATE -- a dedicated wall-mount touchscreen for use with LSC products, including the Mantra Mini playback controller -- along with further additions to the NEXEN range, featuring the new wall-plate Ethernet/DMX Gateway with touchscreen for configuration.
