Robe supports various attractions at Duinrell

Duinrell - a combined holiday, amusement park and water park in Wassenaar, South Holland, which is popular with families  - celebrated ninety years of operation in 2025, and attracts 1.4 million visitors a year. In recent years, Robe moving lights have started making an impact, contributing to the positive vibes.

Roy van Zutphen is the electrician and engineer in charge of lighting. He leads a team of 29 who look after all things technical and operational, including all the venues and rides. Their work also covers mechanical, carpentry and set building. When a new Arcade Game Hall was opened, van Zutphen reached out to Controllux’s Maikel Sakkers, one of the company’s main sales managers, who had a connection at Duinrell via one of their service technicians who used to be an intern there.

He asked for some advice on the lighting options for the Arcade Hall, which was a hybrid design to also accommodate events of up to 1,500 people. Sakkers arrived on site and, when he realised the scale of the new building, recommended a combination of Robe moving lights in the form of Paintes, LEDBeam 150s and Cuetes.

Four Paintes were chosen for the staging area in the middle of the Arcade venue, as that is the main area used for events. The twenty-four LEDBeam 150s are deployed around the stage - which is in the centre of the building - and around the room on roof trusses. Van Zutphen also wanted some additional fixtures for the space that could produce gobo effects and colours but didn’t need to be as complex as the Paintes, so for this he chose Cuetes, which have complementary CMY colour mixing to the Paintes but no zoom. They are also both TE fixtures, using Robe’s Transferable LED engine.

The day-to-day Arcade Hall lighting is run via a Mosaic show controller, but the lights can be hooked into external consoles and controlled independently for events. Van Zutphen again turned to Controllux when it came to refurbishing the classic Duinrell Express train ride which had been running for 47 years at that point. He chose sixteen Robe iBar 15s and iParFects. The iBar 15s are used to light the walls and the scenery, and the iParFect was needed for the opening of the cave, for which a zoomable light was required.
