TMELED’s Randy Cline has decided to invest in over 50 Robe moving lights, invested from Robe North America.
Cline decided in the last year to make a substantial investment, bringing Robe’s Tarrantula LED wash beams, MegaPointes, DL4F Washes, DL7S Profiles, LEDBeam150s and BMFL Blades, together with a RoboSpot remote follow spotting system and LightMaster kits which convert BMFL range fixtures into manually operated follow spots.
Robe had been on his radar increasingly, starting with the launch of the Pointe in 2013, and in the last three years, successive new and innovative products have really caught his attention.
Time Matters Entertainment supplies equipment to a wide variety of shows, from corporate and industrial events to concerts, festivals and live music shows.
He chose the Tarrantulas and DL7S Profiles for their features and functionality. The DL7S Profile was also picked for its quietness – ideal for key lighting speakers and presenters as well as for theatrical shows; and the Tarrantula for its sheer power and punch… as one of the brightest LED wash beam luminaires on the market.
TME is dedicated to providing the absolute best in remotely automated spotlight packages and tracking services, hence getting the RoboSpot system onboard, and they will continue to invest in the available technologies coming to this specialist market.
A large Robe rig is now installed in their new showroom which has been designed and programmed to show off the many different features of the lights to clients – both those coming to TME for imaginative full technical production solutions and those wanting to dry rent equipment from TMELED.
TMELED’s DL7S Profiles and LEDBeam 150s were recently used on a Great Gatsby New Year’s Eve party staged in the lobby at the Ritz-Carlton in Dallas, featuring the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra which was lit by Eric Wade. Challenged for power and lighting positions in and around the lobby, powerful LED light sources were the only way to go, so Eric selected Robe LEDBeam 150s and DL7S Profiles as the primary fixtures.
Other recent shows have included the Arab American Cultural Society’s second Annual Texas Arab festival. This was staged on a ranch just east of Dallas, attended by over 5000 people and lit by Randy himself.
Randy founded TME in 2004 as a creative production enterprise. Taylor Hobart joined him as a partner in 2018, specifically to start and manage the new equipment leasing division TMELED… which has just invested in all the brand-new Robe stock!
