Robe, the recognized leader in moving light technology, has once again made a significant leap in innovation with the introduction of the new ESPRITE® Profile LED automated luminaire. This cutting-edge fixture features a fast-change, low-cost, transferable light engine that expertly addresses the challenge of performance longevity. The ESPRITE® Profile is particularly beneficial for those seeking the high brightness of white source LEDs as a suitable replacement for their aging discharge workhorses.
The groundbreaking TRANSFERABLE ENGINE (TE™) technology offers two options for light engines: the TE™ 650W HP White LED Engine for maximum light output and the TE™ 650W HCF White LED Engine for exceptional colour fidelity. Both engines can be swapped out within the same fixture in just five minutes, without any alignment or warranty issues. This flexibility eliminates the need for separate luminaires with different sources, providing users with the right engine for the right fixture at the right time, all while keeping costs low and operations efficient.
Designed, developed, and manufactured in-house, the self-referencing, data-capturing engines are patent-pending, ensuring unparalleled performance. The TE™ 650W HP White LED Engine produces an impressive 34,000 lumens, while the TE™ 650W HCF White LED Engine delivers 24,000 lumens, boasting a CRI of 96 for superior colour rendering. Both engines offer a long lifespan with L70/B50 ratings of 50,000 hours, ensuring reliability and longevity.
The ESPRITE® Profile features Robe's legendary precision optics for crystal-clear white light. The fixture is packed with versatile features such as flat-field CMY mixing, variable CTO, and remotely selectable CRI 70/80/90 filters on the HP Engine. It also includes two fast colour wheels, rotating and static gobo wheels, a 6-facet rotating prism, and 1° and 5° frost options. Additionally, the patented fast framing shutter module provides quick and accurate framing, with individual blade control and +/-60° rotation for precise adjustments. The design of the ESPRITE® Profile eliminates airflow over the optics, reducing residue deposits and extending the time between cleaning.
The fixture's unique Hot-Spot feature enables a smooth transition from a flat field beam to a 6:1 ratio hot-spot beam, providing uniform intensity when overlaying beam edges for seamless washes of light. The Cpulse™ flicker-free management system ensures compatibility with the latest HD and UHD camera systems, including 8K and 16K. The ChromaTint™ function offers full green/magenta content control, while the L3™ Low Light Linearity dimming ensures ultra-smooth fades to black for flawless integration into traditional lighting setups.
In terms of light output, the TE™ 650W HP White LED Engine achieves up to 34,000 lumens and provides an impressive 85,000 lx at 5 meters. Meanwhile, the TE™ 650W HCF White LED Engine delivers 22,800 lumens with an outstanding CRI of 96, making it ideal for applications where colour accuracy is paramount. The versatile zoom range spans from 5.5° to 50°, and the fixture includes a range of effects such as static and rotating gobos, animation wheels, motorized iris, and magnetic fast-change frost filters, among others.
The ESPRITE® Profile features robust control and programming options, including the ROBE Navigation System 2 (RNS2) and compatibility with a variety of protocols, such as DMX-512, ArtNet, and sACN. It also supports wireless CRMX™ technology from Lumen Radio, and options for Ethernet pass-through switching for network integrity. The fixture operates quietly, with a noise level of just 27 dB(A) in quiet mode, ensuring it remains unobtrusive in live settings.
With its efficient power consumption, flexible control options, and extensive range of features, the ESPRITE® Profile offers exceptional value and performance for lighting professionals.
