A total of 160 Robe fixtures have been purchased by Perfect Ovation, a dry hire facility in Dubai, which has a full production operation in Oman supplying lighting, sound, and LED screens for a diverse mix of events.
Since 2019, Perfect Ovation in Dubai has been investing in Robe moving lights, with the latest purchases being 40 x iFORTES, 40 x Tetra2s and 80 x LEDBeam 350s, plus four RoboSpot systems, all delivered by Robe Middle East.
These were added to the company’s existing inventory which already included 80 x Robe MegaPointes and 80 x Spiider LED wash beams.
The company is headed by entrepreneur and music lover Baltazar Fernandez who comes from Goa, India. He commented: “One of the keys to making any dry hire business work is to respond to the most specified and popular products and brands, and in recent years for moving lights, this has definitely been Robe.”
Fernandez said the Tetra2s have become very popular for producing specific effects, while the LEDBeam 350s are general “all-round super handy” compact fixtures ideal for multiple applications.
The kit is also tough enough to withstand the region’s extreme weather – wind, dust heat and at times heavy and unpredictable rain, Fernandez explained.
Fernandez’ business was originally called Talentz Enterprises and founded in Oman as a music technology and instrument enterprise. It grew rapidly in response to market trends, and was soon incorporating professional lighting, audio, and projection solutions. In 2015, the Dubai branch was opened as a dry hire facility, taking advantage of the rich event and live performance culture in the UAE.
Perfect Ovation’s Dubai office currently has around 45 employees with over 40 staff in Oman. Baltazar’s wife, Mildred, runs the Oman operation, and their children (Kevin, Manuel & Stella) are also involved there.
