ETP invests in Robe Fortes

Technical production - lighting audio, rigging, staging and roofing systems, seating and grandstands., etc. - rental company ETP, based in greater Copenhagen, Denmark, started its lighting department in 2010 with twenty moving light fixtures. There are now over 230 Robe fixtures alone in the rental fleet, plus numerous other lights, with the most recent purchase being thirty-four Fortes, acquired for the 2022 summer touring and festival season.

“We wanted a large, bright LED moving light that could also be used outdoors for festivals and summer tours”, states Emil Finsen who runs the lighting department together with Sune Verdier. Last summer thirty-two Robe Esprites joined the rental stock, and these were out all the time, but to service the unprecedented number of festivals and live events during summer 2022, they needed something even brighter.

The new Fortes were busy all summer working on festivals like Musik i Lejet in Tisvilde, north Denmark, where ETP supplied lighting for all four stages. They were also in action at Heartland, a boutique festival staged in the idyllic grounds of Egeskov Castle; on the new “Syd for Solen” (South of the Sun) event in Søndermarken near Copenhagen; and on the Copenhell metal fest, where ETP supplied the full production package for the second “Hades” stage.

The first Robes to join ETP were Pointes purchased in 2015, and at that stage their moving light stock was mainly from another manufacturer, but that has now shifted.
