Final Bracket

Robe Lighting is officially a Moving Light Madness dynasty, continuing its undefeated run and proving once again that when this bracket reaches the final round, Robe fixtures know how to finish the job. It’s just @therobeway This year, the crown shifts back to the Pointe line, the original champion of the campaign, with the Robe GigaPointe reclaiming the title and bringing the tournament full circle.

What makes that even more interesting is that the path around Robe keeps changing. Over the years, the final four has rotated, new contenders have broken through, and different fixture families have had their moment, but the ending has stayed remarkably consistent: Robe brings it home.

Sweet Sixteen Highlights

The closest battle of the round did not disappoint. Robe’s iForte Series edges out the MAC Viper XIP 52% to 48%, winning by just 64 votes. A true heavyweight fight that could have gone either way, and easily one of the defining matchups of the tournament so far.
The CHAUVET Professional ColorStrike M builds on its Round 2 momentum with a strong 60% win over Robe WTF!. After surviving one of the closest matchups last round, this was a much more confident step forward into the Elite Eight.
The Robe GigaPointe continues its deep run, defeating the iBolt 71% to 29%.
The Ultimo Sharpy didn’t just win the family feud, it made a statement. Taking 73% of the vote over the original Sharpy, this was less nostalgia and more evolution. The modern beam standard is moving on with authority.
