LDR’s Astro 600 Delivers Reliable Followspot Solution at Singapore Institute of Management

When the Singapore Institute of Management (SIM) faced the urgent need to replace a faulty followspot from a competing brand, the solution had to be both immediate and uncompromising in reliability. The answer came in the form of the Astro 600 from Luci Della Ribalta (LDR), supplied and installed by long-time partner DeSisti Asia.

“The client simply wanted to replace a defective followspot,” explains Raymond Yong, Director of Sales & Projects at DeSisti Asia. “There was a demand to find a product in a short time frame that was 100% reliable, which is why we immediately recommended and proposed the Astro 600 from Luci Delle Ribalta, a manufacturer we have worked with for years and who has never failed to meet expectations.”

Headquartered in Singapore, DeSisti Asia is a recognised authority in broadcast, theatre, and architectural lighting, with extensive experience designing, supplying, and installing systems for theatres, concert halls, auditoriums, hotels, and education institutions. The company’s long-standing collaboration with LDR provided the trust and confidence necessary to deliver a swift solution. “We have been loyal distributors of LDR for many years, so it makes sense to recommend a brand and product we trust,” emphasizes Raymond.

The Astro 600 proved to be the perfect fit, offering brightness and performance on par with the previous system, but at a significantly lower operating cost. “Client feedback has been very positive,” Yong confirms. “They are satisfied that the light quality of the Astro 600 matches the previous product — which consumed far more resources — while the pricing clearly positions LDR as the smarter choice.”

According to LDR, this latest installation reinforces the brand’s growing footprint in Eastern markets, where the professional lighting sector is both competitive and highly informed. Singapore, in particular, is home to a discerning community of theatre professionals and lighting designers who are constantly exposed to the latest technologies through trade shows, factory visits, and international workshops. And in a market where success relies on the ability to combine technical excellence with cost-effectiveness, LDR affirms that the Astro 600 demonstrates precisely that balance — a reliable, high-quality followspot that meets the expectations of the most demanding users, while also offering strong value.
