Longueuil, Quebec based rental specialist Ranger Son Éclairage has invested in Robe moving lights, initially buying 16 ROBIN MMX Spots and then following up with 24 x LEDBeam 100s.
The company was founded 15 years ago by Francois Ranger and is focused on servicing corporate events and presentations of all types, and providing design services and full turnkey solutions to the very highest standards.
This is their first purchase of moving lights, so not being tied in to any previous commitments or alignments, they had the freedom to consider all the options very carefully before making a decision on which brand was best suited to their needs explains lighting designer Anthony Ranger.
He arranged demonstrations of products from all the leading moving light manufacturers to ensure they could make an informed and well researched choice.
They ideally sought a fixture that would output more than a 700W source, that would run on a single 15A socket at 120 Amps and also something that was eco-friendly. Robe's MMX Spot ticked all the boxes.
"We were blown away by the MMX from the moment we received it right up to the full and thorough testing schedule that we conducted - it was amazing." he declares.
As soon as the MMXs were delivered they went straight into action on a number of shows including Expérience Montreal 2012 (LD Christopher Brady) at the Esplanade Financire Sun Life at the Olympic Stadium, for which they also used Robe Robin LEDWash 600s and the Dystrophie Musculaire 2012 event (LD Anthony Ranger) at the Palais des Congrs de Montréal.
They and the LEDBeams have also been used on numerous private events, functions and parties, and in fact, have been out working every week since they were delivered from MDG.
