Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How do I activate the POLAR+TM technology for extreme cold

operation?

A: The POLAR+TM standby mode can be activated through the
fixture’s control panel or software interface. It will
automatically maintain an internal temperature level for operation
in temperatures as low as -50°C.

Q: Can I use custom colors with the iBOLT TM?

A: Yes, the iBOLT TM features a DataSwatchTM color library that
includes commonly used whites and allows for custom color creation
limited only by your imagination.

Q: How far can the iBOLT TM projections be visible?

A: The iBOLT TM projections are visible from kilometers away,
thanks to its powerful 500W Phosphor Laser source producing intense
beams.

iBOLT TM
The time has come to replace your antiquated discharge sourced outdoor aerial effect luminaires with a new generation Searchlight and Skyflower fixture, to make outdoor lighting statements like never before!
With incisive solid, flat field beams, shapes and effects, the sky is your canvas. Highly and actively protected to operate in all environments, iBOLTTM projections are visible from kilometres away. Such brilliance demands attention!
Specifically designed to generate incredible power, and be perfectly safe to use, we developed the LSW-5TM engine. Its white 500W Phosphor Laser source produces an incoherent beam with an incredible intensity of 1.100.000 lx @ 20 m (42.000 lx @ 100 m). With such remarkable output, the iBOLTTM ensures ultimate contrast with the night sky for maximum impact.
Harnessing the power to deliver such presence, the large 300mm front lens in combination with the optical chain delivers ultimate, incisive beam definition. iBOLTTM has a zoom ratio of 21:1 with a zoom range of 0.4° – 8.5°, guaranteeing the creation of spellbinding aerial shafts of light.
Maximising colour options, iBOLTTM features a CMY colour mixing system and a colour wheel with 13 dichroic colours and an onboard DataSwatchTM colour library, including the most commonly used whites, you have the tools to cover everything from the dense saturates to the most refined pastel tones.
Far beyond the capabilities of a traditional searchlight, iBOLTTM offers an expansive effects suite, boasting static and rotating gobo wheels along with beam reducers tailored for in-air effects. Particularly remarkable is our proprietary SpecktaBeamTM effects engine, a patented innovation that delivers a truly transformative lighting experience.
The inclusion of a CMY + Colour wheel, complemented by the DataSwatchTM library, grants access to an extensive palette of colours limited only by imagination. Within the comprehensive iBOLTTM effects package, youll find gobo wheels and our patented MLPTM stackable multi-level prisms, which enable independent speed and direction control. Combined with continuous PAN rotation, this unlocks a plethora of effects previously deemed unattainable. To swirl around the sky, iBOLTTM has a pan movement range of 540° with continuous rotation control. Our MAPSTM Motionless Absolute Positioning System removes the need for pre-use pan and tilt calibration movement, while EMSTM Electronic Motion Stabilizer technology negates fixture hysteresis, removing irritating beam shake often associated with larger fixtures. For all environment operation, iBOLTTM has the most advanced, patented IP65 protection available. Our RAINSTM Robe Automatic Ingress Protection System not only prevents ingress, it actively manages the fixtures internal microclimate, removing internal moisture build-up automatically. The system even runs an ingenious Self Pressure Test, without specialised tools, to check internal pressure buildup, ensuring maximum protection.
For operation in extreme cold, the iBOLTTM has our innovative POLAR+TM technology. When activated, the POLAR+TM standby mode will automatically maintain an internal temperature level, allowing instant operability down to minus 50 degrees centigrade!
We take safety very seriously with such intense light levels. iBOLTTM has our patented, constantly scanning SafeGuardTM system which instantly reduces fixture output if someone gets within a direct, unsafe viewing distance.
Ideally suited for remote outdoor installations, iBOLTTM uses REAPTM Robe Ethernet Access Portal communication software, viewed as a web browser, giving real-time fixture monitoring of all parameters, including complete RAINSTM status information.
It’s time to dominate the sky, with iBOLTTM
Josef Valchar
CEO

The time has come to make outdoor lighting statements like never before. Now you can not only reach the sky, you can dominate it with the ultra-powerful Robe iBOLTTM!
With incisive solid, flat field beams, shapes and effects, the sky is your canvas with this phosphor-laser sourced luminaire. Highly and actively protected to operate in all environments, iBOLTTM projections are visible from kilometres away. Such brilliance demands attention!
Generating such incredible power, the perfectly safe LSW-5TM engine, with its white 500W Phosphor Laser source, emits an incoherent beam light with an intensity of 1.100.000 lx @ 20 m (42.000 lx @ 100 m). With such remarkable output, iBOLTTM ensures ultimate contrast with the night sky for maximum impact.
With a large 300mm front leans creating such presence, the optics deliver ultimate, incisive beam definition. iBOLTTM has a zoom ratio of 21:1 with a zoom range of 0.4° – 8.5°, guaranteeing the creation of spell-binding aerial shafts of light.
To maximise colour options, iBOLTTM features a CMY colour mixing system and a colour wheel containing 13 dichroic colours. With the onboard DataSwatchTM colour library containing 66 pre-programmed colours, including the most common whites, you have the tools to cover everything from the dense saturates to the most refined pastel tones.
Far beyond the capabilities of a traditional searchlight, iBOLTTM offers an expansive effects suite, boasting static and rotating gobo wheels along with beam reducers tailored for in-air effects. Particularly remarkable is our proprietary SpektraBeamTM effects engine, a patented innovation that delivers a truly transformative lighting experience. Combined with the comprehensive iBOLTTM effects package, youll find gobo wheels and our patented MLPTM stackable multi-level prisms, which enable independent speed and direction control. To swirl around the sky iBOLTTM features a 540° pan indexing range that can be easily switched to a continuous PAN rotation unlocking a plethora of effects previously deemed unattainable. The MAPSTM Motionless Absolute Positioning System removes the need for pre-use pan and tilt calibration movement. EMSTM Electronic Motion Stabilizer technology negates fixture hysteresis and enables instant stopping, removing irritating beam shake often associated with larger fixtures, giving total control of your skyward projections. Ensuring operation in all environments, iBOLTTM contains the most advanced, patented IP65 protection available. At the heart of the protection is RAINSTM Robe Automatic Ingress Protection System. This highly advanced patented technology not only prevents ingress, it actively manages the fixtures internal microclimate, removing internal moisture build-up caused by constant heating and cooling to provide maximum protection for electronics.
The luminaire runs an ingenious Self Pressure Test to check internal pressure. Requiring no special tools and taking under 3 minutes, the test provides an error message where gaskets and covers were not replaced correctly or locking screws incorrectly tightened, ensuring maximum protection.
For operation in extreme cold, the iBOLTTM contains our innovative POLAR+TM technology. When activated, POLAR+TM will automatically maintain an internal temperature level, allowing instant operability down to minus 50 degrees centigrade!
With such power, the intense light levels of iBOLTTM require additional safety measures. Our patented, constantly scanning ScanGuardTM system instantly reduces fixture output if someone gets within an unsafe viewing distance.
Ideally suited for remote outdoor installations, REAPTM Robe Ethernet Access Portal communication software, viewed as a web browser, shows realtime fixture monitoring of all parameters, including complete RAINSTM status information such as pressure and internal saturation levels.
By including NFC Near-Field Communication technology, you can access setup, diagnostic and performance features, even without power, directly from your mobile device using the Robe Com app.
