CHAUVET
Professional created a lot of buzz at LDI, drawing healthy crowds eager to see
a collection of breakthrough products that included a 5-color LED ellipsoidal,
as well as a single source RGBW IP65-rated wash and a new touring version of
its popular ÉPIX Series. “We were very pleased with the widespread interest
shown in our products,” said Berenice Chauvet, vice president of Chauvet. “I
think the response we experienced at LDI this year speaks to the diversity of
our product line.”
Among the
new products attracting attention was the ÉPIX Tour Series, 20mm bars and
strips with RGB SMD LEDs that were built for life on the road and engineered to
deliver dynamic looks with or without pixel mapping. Another LDI success for
CHAUVET Professional was the Ovation E-910FC, a new 5-Color RGBA+Lime LED
ellipsoidal. Bringing a new level of color to LED ellipsoidal fixtures,
this newcomer is powered by 91 3-watt RGBA plus Lime LEDs. Adding to its
rainbow of possibilities is a Virtual Color Wheel with 31 colors that match
popular gel colors used with traditional tungsten fixtures.
“Our
Ovation ellipsoidals have been one of the success stories of 2015, being widely
embraced in theaters and churches,” said Albert Chauvet, president and CEO of
Chauvet. “We feel that with the introduction of the Ovation E-910FC and its
tremendous color rendering capabilities, we’re building on this momentum.”
Also
breaking new ground at LDI was the new COLORado 1 Solo. This
powerful IP65-rated par-style wash fixture offers the unique and highly coveted
combination of a single-source 60-watt RGBW LED and a wide-ranging 9°-72° Zoom,
giving lighting professionals the tools to take their designs to a new level of
visual quality, depth and versatility.
“People
stopped and did a double take when they saw this fixture’s single fully
homogenized beam and evenly blended colors,” said Albert Chauvet. “A common
response we got from visitors was, ‘I’ve got to have this.’ Our visitors
enjoyed discovering this fixture, and we enjoyed showing it to them. It’s what
attending a show is all about.”
