    CHAUVET at USITT 2012

    For the first time at the USITT show, CHAUVET attracted visitors with an array of lights, including our COLORado Series of powerful wash fixtures, ideal for stage use. On display we had the COLORado Zoom Tour, COLORado Zoom CW Tour, COLORado Zoom WW Tour, COLORado 2 Zoom Tour and COLORado 1-Quad Tour. Projecting beautiful saturated washes COLORado Zoom Tour and COLORado 2 Zoom Tour were among the most popular, next to the LED Followspot 75 light and Impulse 648 bright strobe light. COLORado Batten 72 Tour Tour and COLORado Batten 144 Tour linear wash lights impressed with their precise color temperatures, while the Q-Spot 560-LED demonstrated its brightness and even output.  Our professional dry ice machine Nimbus flooded the booth floor in thick fog and COLORado Ridge IP projected intense colors due to its red, green, blue, white and amber LEDs. Perfect for adding a lot of color to small performance venues, SlimPAR Pro RGBA was also showcased, for its complete spectrum in some of the harder-to-create warm colors.
