Beauty and the Geek Australia is the country’s ultimate social experiment where two very different worlds collide. The 'Beauties', who love being the centre of attention and rely primarily on their looks, are paired up with academically gifted yet socially awkward 'Geeks' to compete as teams for a $100,000 prize.

One of Australia’s leading TV lighting directors Grant Watson from Strauss Productions specified 12 of Robin 300 LEDWashes and used them as the main and vivid component of his lighting design for a number of the major 'off site location challenges'. The fixtures were also specified for events at the main 'house location' where the Beauties and Geeks live together and complement each other through various challenges striving to be the successful team.

The Robin 300 LEDWash is the smaller version of extremely successful Robin 600 LEDWash light from Robe’s range. Utilizing 19 multichip Cree LEDs and motorized linear zoom of 15 – 60 degrees, the fixture offers great flexibility with superior homogenization of the light source. Specialized component optics composed of highly efficient elements ensures completely smooth colour mixing and it emphasizes dynamic array of true colours and hues. A great feature perfect for Film & TV is the ability to switch instantly to 3200, 4300 and 5600 deg. Kelvin. The 3200 setting mixes perfectly with tradition Fresnel fixtures.

Event Services supplied the Robin 300 LEDWashes to Strauss Productions. “The Robe Robin 300 is a great little LED mover with a big personality and is ideal for any kind of event, even television where colour temperature is very important”, commented Colin Baldwin from Event Services.

Grant Watson will be specifying the units also on some other TV shows that he is lighting director for, including The Biggest Loser, Farmer Want’s a Wife, My Kitchen Rules and Magical Tales.
