The ROBE BMFL Followspot is a custom-modified version of the BMFL WashBeam designed for follow-spot operation. It offers both motorised movement and the option for manual control via follow-spot handles, combining the high output of a BMFL with features tailored to spot operators.

Key Features

• Powerful light source: 1700 W OSRAM Lok-it! HTI 1700/PS compact short-arc metal halide lamp.
• High output: Fixture lumen output up to 39,770 lm, with measured illuminance of 251,000 lx at 5 m (also 2,500 lx at 50 m).
• Flexible beam control: Zoom range 5° to 45°, motorized stepless iris with pulse effects up to 3 Hz, and variable frost (Light, Medium) plus replaceable Heavy.
• Accurate colour: CRI 92+ and variable CTO from 2,700 to 6,000 K for reliable colour rendering and temperature adjustment.
• Colour and effects: CMY colour mixing, two colour wheels (one fixed six-position dichroic, one six-position replaceable SLOT&LOCK), and frosts for beam shaping.
• Control and operation: Electronic ballast with automatic and remote on/off. Unit supports both motorised pan/tilt and manual follow-spot operation via handles.

Use Cases

Suitable for theatrical, concert and touring applications where a high-intensity, long-throw followspot is required. The combination of motorised movement and manual handles makes it useful for productions that need both automated cues and live operator control.
