Robe goes Giga at ISE 2026

Czech lighting manufacturer Robe s.r.o. made a strong and vibrant impression and launched its much-anticipated landmark new GigaPointe® luminaire at the 2026 Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) expo in Barcelona last week.

GigaPointe is powered by a 350W white Phosphor Laser source and has an advanced LSW-3™ engine that produces an impressive >4.000.000 lx at 5 metres – a fixture to take creative lighting into new realms of possibility!

Robe’s booth – their largest yet at an ISE event – was prominent in Hall 6 at the Fira de Barcelona Gran Via, which buzzed with excitement right at the heart of the 4-day expo, generating energy and enthusiasm for the latest entertainment lighting technologies.

This year, Robe staged a full expo live production show at ISE, “Excalibur - The Lights of the Round Table” following the success of an initial live performance concept in 2025. ISE 2026 saw the second variant of “Excalibur”, a full-tilt, dramatic themed show featuring acrobat Oskar Skrypko performing with two dancers and Pauline, an industrial robot.

GigaPointes were also central to Excalibur’s lighting and production design, with the entire Robe live experience attracting huge crowds to the stand, piquing interest in this, plus all the other new Robe technology that was on display and available for closer examination in two demo areas.

In addition to the GigaPointe, Robe launched two other cool products – the T10 PC and the T10 Fresnel – the latest expansion to its award-winning T-Series of theatrical luminaires. The Robe booth celebrated the vibrance, synergy and integration of its other brands and businesses – Anolis, Avolites, LSC Control Systems and Artistic Licence – which also highlighted their latest and smartest products.

GigaPointe® is a versatile and truly multi-functional IP65-rated moving light that has been skillfully engineered to offer optimal performance combined with extraordinary output, plus dynamic high-contrast effects, and swift, pinpoint movement, ready to transform any space into a spectacular environment. It is perfect for all types of shows, events and lighting art from full-scale musicals to concert touring and music shows to epic dance events… and so many more. A review of the new GigaPointe will be in the next issue.

Robe’s new T10 PC and T10 Fresnel luminaires were also launched at ISE. These have a compact design that is ideal for smaller theatres, studios and spaces while retaining all the features and benefits of Robe’s larger T11 PC / Fresnel, including a smooth, softer beam, offering great performance and value. The T-Series LED technology provides identical colour characteristics, responses, and control across all its luminaires, giving absolute colour consistency across a Robe installation.

“Excalibur – Part 2”, Robe’s latest live extravaganza fascinated crowds throughout ISE, running five times a

day. Imagined and produced by the in-house creative team led by Nathan Wan and Andy Webb, “Excalibur” was an electrifying megamix of lighting genres and styles combined with dance and acrobatic performance, pumping music, strong narrative and gravity-defying performance thrills, all showcasing Robe’s latest technologies in the environment for which they are built!

As you would expect, the new GigaPointe was the star of the show! Twenty-four of these just-launched wonder fixtures were centre stage, rigged on four vertical trusses upstage, giving a 6 x 4 matrix style back wall of light, which featured prominently during the show. Other fixtures used in the show were the full series of iFORTE LTX, iESPRITE LTL and iPAINTE LTM

luminaires; T10s and T11s, Tetra2s, FOOTSIE2s, SVB1s on 4-bars, SVOPATT

Classics, and PAINTE Fresnels. “Excalibur” was programmed and run on an Avolites D9-215 console.
