ROBE BMFL™ Blade makes its way to Brown Note Productions

The ROBE BMFL™ Blade has made its way to Brown Note Productions, Inc. The newly acquired fleet is Brown Note’s latest addition to our inventory of dynamic lighting fixtures from ROBE. Contact us today with any inquiries about adding the ROBE BMFL™ Blade to your next event or tour. See below for technical information regarding the BMFL Blade directly from ROBE’s website:

Four fast shutter blades with smooth and precise movement in the new BMFL Blade lighting fixture. Individually angled and positioned within a frame – which itself can rotate through 90 degrees, providing a sharp or soft, precisely repeatable, frame for the projected image.

Producing a new series of fast-moving in-air effects through pre-programmed shape and movement sequences of the blades, gobo images can be trimmed or framed in a regular, triangular or trapezoid shape. Each pair of opposing blades can close to a complete blackout. Two gobo wheels – one rotating with six slot&lock gobo positions plus another with 8 static gobos can be combined with the Animation wheel to create numerous dynamic projected effects.

Add all this to the already acclaimed BMFL features including: exceptionally smooth linear dimming, Imperceptible high definition colour mixing, full width beam, Output in excess of 250,000 lux at 5 metres – and the Robe EMS™ (Electronic Motion Stabiliser) technology, enabling the BMFL™ to both move and stop faster and more precisely than any other fixture in its class – all this housed in a compact body profile weighing just 37,9 Kgs.
