The strong-arm of the BMFL™ family - the superbly powerful BMFL WashBeam comes with extra bright output and an abundance of great features, e.g newly developed framing shutters, super wide front lens and animation wheel.

The BMFL WashBeam will enhance any show with its large beam produced through wide 180 mm front lens. With custom light source designed for Robe it produces an astounding 300.000 lux at 5 metres! Rotating gobo wheel with carefully selected gobos ensure many combinations of in air animations, but can also produce nice spot-like projections on surfaces. Four fast shutter blades with smooth and precise movement offer individually angled positions within a frame - which itself can rotate through 90 degrees, providing a sharp or soft, precisely repeatable frame for the projected image. Fast movement of the framing system also allows unique in air beam effects. Adding frost filters can enhance the projection by adding smooth touches to the beam‘s edge.

Innovations

EMS™ - Electronic Motion Stabiliser

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.

Slot&Lock Gobos

Robe's "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.

Plano4™ Framing shutters

Robe's patented Plano4™ 4 blade framing shutter module offers absolute beam control with each blade on an individual level with separate movement and rotation control. They are ultra-thin, enabling them all to be focused sharp, without any distortion. They can be easily used in combination with a gobo – and even if you add colour, you will experience no chromatic aberration, also referred to as "Fringing", making our innovative framing shutters really stand out!
