Robe MegaPointes installed at the Ancienne Belgique

The Ancienne Belgique (AB), a live music venue in Brussels, has just purchased 24 x Robe MegaPointes which join the 50 x Spiiders that have graced the house lighting rig since 2017. They were initially looking for an LED spotlight, but they could not find anything to meet all their criteria.

It had to be an FX light as 90% of the performances are music based and effects are important, and they had recently been repeatedly renting in beam lights, so it made sense to have their own.

Head of AB’s lighting department, Renaat Van Hee, had worked at the AB as a freelancer since 2002 and held his current full-time role running the lighting department for the last two years. They have four full time technicians working in lighting, another four in audio and three dealing with general production elements, plus a large pool of regular freelancers.

Their first investment into Robe fixtures was in 2012 when they purchased MMX Spots. These ran for six years before bringing everything up to date with the MegaPointes and Spiiders.
