Robe dazzles the crowds at ISE 2025
Robe – and its associated businesses – enjoyed a brilliantly busy ISE 2025 expo in Barcelona, presenting their largest stand to date in Hall 6, launching two exciting new products - the iSTROBE and the iESPRITE LTL - and showing a range of other new technologies as well as staging a high-octane one-person live show with gravity- challenging acrobat Oskar Skrypko which attracted people to the already buzzing booth.
Robe CEO Josef Valchar commented, “ISE has definitely established itself as a major European trade show for lighting manufacturers and has made great efforts to ensure we can present our products in the right environment. That’s why we launched innovative new tech there this year – with fantastic results. We look forward to 2026 already – with BIG plans!”
Visitors from all over the world rocked up to the stand from every sector, and many also visited the nearby EES/EARPRO (Robe’s Spanish and Portuguese distributor) showroom, which was set up for full scale product demos. An on-booth demo area was constantly busy throughout all four days of the expo, and Robe’s booth incorporated all its businesses – Avolites, Anolis, LSC Control Systems and Artistic Licence – in one slickly designed and fully aligned branded environment.
A live performance act – related to Robe’s ongoing Fifth Dimension trade show trilogy presentation – was specially devised for ISE this year by Robe’s in-house creative team. It is the first time Robe has staged a live show at this exhibition and it was designed specifically to show all the different lighting technologies working in a real- time real-world scenario.
The newly launched Robe iSTROBE literally blew minds! Its 4-in-1 approach makes it a fully flexible unit with a powerful RGBW wash element that can be a strobe, a wash, a blinder and an effects light delivering a blistering 1000W of strobe power. The iESPRITE LTL attracted massive interest due to its combination of the best iFORTE LTX and iESPRITE features. Robe launched its much-anticipated LEDPointe at LDI last year and this was another ‘hot’ fixture on the ISE booth as European customers saw it in action for the first time. Other new products thrilling visitors included the SVB1 4Bar – a prewired and pre-rigged solution for fast installation and setup, and the T31 CYC – a compact cyc unit with high quality optics, ideal for the smooth and even illumination of curved cycloramas.
Anolis, Robe’s architectural LED lighting division, occupied an elegant new-look section of the booth and showcased its products designed to enhance any building or space, exterior or interior.
Catching the eyes of visitors were Anolis’s Agame window reveal luminaire and the Anolis Lyrae M offering excellent power and colour mixing and motorised tilt controlled via DMX.
Avolites experienced a fantastic show with a steady stream of positive feedback regarding the latest products including the T3, and both Damond7 consoles – the 215 and the 330 variants. These two consoles seriously expand Avolites’ reach for delivering fast, flexible and logical lighting control for the largest and most complex shows, complementing the already hugely popular Quartz, Tiger Touch II and Arena consoles.
The team from LSC Control Systems celebrated what they reckon was not only the best ISE exhibition to date. Both UNITY and UNITOUR were a huge attraction, with demos non-stop throughout. The biggest interest was from AV companies savvy about safeguarding their LED walls, whilst also being able to monitor and configure their systems remotely.
Artistic Licence also had a phenomenally busy four days connecting with a huge number of their global distributors and partners and meeting new customers looking to specify their control products. Products in the limelight included the new artCore replay and integration controller and the artPlay 10” touchscreen controller.
