While all the premium lighting manufacturers have high-power, white LED spot / profile fixtures in their catalogues, Robe had not yet really made its mark in this area, preferring to concentrate on additive synthesis using color sources.
Now, the Czech manufacturer has introduced the Esprite, an intermediate-power white source and CMY mixing, and equipped with an interchangeable LED module. Robe Esprite is, to my knowledge, the first fixture to propose this concept of renewability and is a potential window on the evolution of LEDs to come.
We are going to look in detail at how this fixture works but, first of all, we must consider that Esprite is built around a replaceable LED module, with traceability that is accessible to the user, as described by Vincent Bouquet in the article published on SLU:
“Le moteur de leds interchangeable de l’Esprite garde tout en mémoire” (“The Esprite’s interchangeable LED engine memorizes everything”)
