iBOLT™

IP65

The time has come to replace your antiquated discharge sourced outdoor aerial effect luminaires with a new generation Searchlight and Skyflower fixture, to make outdoor lighting statements like never before!

With incisive solid, flat field beams, shapes and effects, the sky is your canvas. Highly and actively protected to operate in all environments, iBOLT™ projections are visible from kilometres away. Such brilliance demands attention!

Specifically designed to generate incredible power, and be perfectly safe to use, we developed the LSW-5™ engine. Its white 500W Phosphor Laser source produces an incoherent beam with an incredible intensity of 1.100.000 lx @ 20 m (42.000 lx @ 100 m). With such remarkable output, the iBOLT™ ensures ultimate contrast with the night sky for maximum impact.

Harnessing the power to deliver such presence, the large 300mm front lens in combination with the optical chain delivers ultimate, incisive beam definition. iBOLT™ has a zoom ratio of 40:1 with a zoom range of 0.4° - 8.5° hard edge, up to 16° soft edge, guaranteeing the creation of spell-binding aerial shafts of light.

Maximising colour options, iBOLT™ features a CMY colour mixing system and a colour wheel with 13 dichroic colours and an onboard DataSwatch™ colour library, including the most commonly used whites, you have the tools to cover everything from the dense saturates to the most refined pastel tones.

Far beyond the capabilities of a traditional searchlight, iBOLT™ offers an expansive effects suite, boasting static and rotating gobo wheels along with beam reducers tailored for in-air effects. Particularly remarkable is our proprietary SpektraBeam™ effects engine, a patented innovation that delivers a truly transformative lighting experience.

The inclusion of a CMY + Colour wheel, complemented by the DataSwatch™ library, grants access to an extensive palette of colours limited only by imagination. Within the comprehensive iBOLT™ effects package, you‘ll find gobo wheels and our patented MLP™ stackable multi-level prisms, which enable independent speed and direction control. Combined with continuous PAN rotation, this unlocks a plethora of effects previously deemed unattainable.

To swirl around the sky, iBOLT™ has a pan movement range of 540° with continuous rotation control. Our MAPS™ Motionless Absolute Positioning System removes the need for pre-use pan and tilt calibration movement, while EMS™ Electronic Motion Stabilizer technology negates fixture hysteresis, removing irritating beam shake often associated with larger fixtures.

For all environment operation, iBOLT™ has the most advanced, patented IP65 protection available. Our RAINS™ Robe Automatic Ingress Protection System not only prevents ingress, it actively manages the fixture‘s internal microclimate, removing internal moisture build-up automatically. The system even runs an ingenious Self Pressure Test, without specialised tools, to check internal pressure buildup, ensuring maximum protection.

For operation in extreme cold, the iBOLT™ has our innovative POLAR+™ technology. When activated, the POLAR+™ standby mode will automatically maintain an internal temperature level, allowing instant operability down to minus 50 degrees centigrade!

We take safety very seriously with such intense light levels. iBOLT™ has our patented, constantly scanning ScanGuard™ system which instantly reduces fixture output if someone gets within a direct, unsafe viewing distance.

Ideally suited for remote outdoor installations, iBOLT™ uses REAP™ Robe Ethernet Access Portal communication software, viewed as a web browser, giving real-time fixture monitoring of all parameters, including complete RAINS™ status information.

Innovations

LSW™ – Laser Engine Series

It's time to revolutionize outdoor lighting like never before. With the ultra-powerful Robe LSW™ White source laser engines, you can not only touch the sky but also dominate it!

MLP™ – Multi-level prisms

MLP™ - Patented Multi-Level Prisms allow multiple rotating prisms to be "stacked" while retaining individual position, speed and direction of rotation control. With variable shape and size it creates unlimited dynamic, multi-level flower and beam effects, bringing a whole new collection of eye-popping creativity.

SpektraBeam™

The cutting-edge Robe SpektraBeam™ effects module produces almost indescribable colours, patterns, shapes and effects, elevating your designs to a whole new level of visual impact.

Robe NFC controller and app

The Robe COM application is an app based on NFC (Near Field Communication). It can be used to access to fixture’s settings of our NFC-based navigation display systems as well as reading out data of our TE™ Transferable Engines.

POLAR+™

Outdoor fixtures need to operate in extreme cold. Therefore, Robe iSeries™ fixtures contain an innovative POLAR+™ technology - a special standby mode with low power consumption, in which the fixture's sensors and communications channels continue to function.

REAP™ – Robe Ethernet Access Portal

The Robe Ethernet Access Portal allows to access internal data from a networked fixture, viewed as a web page, addressable via the fixtures network IP.

GDTF – General Device Type Format

The General Device Type Format creates a unified definition for exchange of data for the operation of intelligent luminaries, such as moving lights. The file format is human readable and developed using open source formats.

ScanGuard™

At Robe, we prioritize safety, especially when working with intense light levels. With great power comes great responsibility, and we are committed to ensuring the safe operation of our laser/phosphor sources. That’s why we’ve equipped our fixtures with ScanGuard™ technology, setting us apart from other manufacturers.

MAPS™ – Motionless Absolute Positioning System

The innovative and exceptionally accurate Robe patented MAPS™ system provides stationary reset without calibration movement, as sensors calculate their absolute positions. This allows discreet resetting of fixtures during a performance and power cycling of luminaires within confined spaces.

EMS™ – Electronic Motion Stabiliser

The Robe EMS™ (Electronic Motion Stabiliser) system is a technology for precise Pan and Tilt movements, which reduces vibrations from audio outputs, truss movement and sprung or suspended floors.

airLOC™

AirLOC™ (Less Optical Cleaning) technology greatly reduces the level of airborne particles drawn over the optical elements in the luminaire.

Epass™

Robe lighting’s Epass™ provides Ethernet in/out connections with a pass-through switch that sustains Ethernet integrity when the fixture has no power to automatically maintain network connectivity.

Slot & Lock Gobos

Robe's patented Slot & Lock system allows for easy and fast replacement of both rotatable and indexable gobos.

QVGA Robe Touch Screen Display System

The QVGA Robe touch screen display gives full access to all fixture setup and diagnostic functions and is very intuitive to navigate.

RAINS™ – Robe Automatic Ingress Protection System

The highly advanced patented RAINS™ (Robe Automatic Ingress Protection System) technology not only prevents ingress. It actively manages a fixture's internal microclimate removing internal moisture build-up caused by constant heating and cooling to provide maximum protection for electronics, revolutionising how outdoor fixtures are managed and protected.
