ROTTERDAM, Netherlands – Rotterdam-based rental and technical solutions company Peitsman Licht en Geluid (Light & Sound) has purchased Robe’s latest Robin DLX Spot and DLF Wash fixtures, becoming the first DLF users in the Benelux region.
It is also their first investment into the Robe brand, prompted by Peitsman Licht en Geluid owner and founder Hans Peitsman’s desire to keep moving forward, thinking of the future and offering his clients the latest, most flexible and best value technologies.
Peitsman Licht en Geluid was founded in 1994 and now has 15 full time employees. The company supplies full technical production packages to a broad cross-section of industry sectors – live shows and events, B2B and corporate presentations, theatre and television productions, parties and public entertainments.
The order for the new Robe fixtures – delivered by Benelux distributor Controllux’s Dutch office – was for 16 Robin DLF Wash fixtures and 12 Robin DLXs.
Ten DLFs and six DLXs went straight out on tour with Percossa, a high energy percussion ensemble – variously described as ‘a dash of circus and a pinch of rock concert’ – currently touring Benelux and France with two shows and lighting designed and operated by Maarten van Dorp.
Apart from this immediate demand, it appealed to Peitsman’s commercial thinking to be the first in the region with the DLF. The fresnel wash fixture is targeted for theatre, TV and all professional markets needing versatile fresnel style lights.
The Robin DLX Spot is an RGBW LED spot moving head.
Peitsman also sees both the DLX and DLF as a good cross rental items, and one of their regular clients, Zoetermeer based NFGD, has also recently invested in DLXs on the strength of Peitsmans’ recommendations.
“Events are increasingly being expected to make themselves greener and more sustainable, and elements like power consumption are becoming more of an issue, so the demand for energy-saving products is rising,” he says.
