Thanks for reading, everyone!
Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh had a 30th birthday party, and LD Dan Cohen of Uplyte used a big rig full of CHAUVET Professional lighting to make it even more glam!
From the article at PLSN Magazine:
“This project was brought to us by one of our very talented event planner clients who does a lot of work with Team Bosh,” said Cohen. “Adrienne Bosh wanted a sultry Cirque style event with a seductive look and feel and yet, at the same time, also provided the traditional excitement of a ‘Big Top.’ We had to create a vast array of looks to give us some ‘cabaret’ style moods and then transition smoothly into a very different feeling for some of the specialty acts, which included a variety of Cirque-like performers. Having a versatile and reliable lighting rig was essential to us being able to fulfill the client’s vision for this project.”

The band YELLOWCARD is out there right now with lighting designer Cody James, rocking the Legend 230 SR Beam and the Legend 412 LED wash from CHAUVET Professional. Have you seen their show? It’s energetic, the audiences love it, and the band brings a lighting performance that accentuates the wide scale of their talent!
Awesome! Check out an article that our Senior Product Manager for CHAUVET Professional, Ford Sellers, wrote on addressing chromatic shadows in LED lighting for Church Production Magazine.
Our distributor from Portugal Garrett Audiovisuals took a nice variety of CHAUVET Professional fixtures on their road show, such as lights from COLORado series of LED wash lights, Strike strobes, moving yokes from the Legend series, stage and theater fixtures from the Ovation line and more.
Argentinian distributor Barcella Group Lighting Rental recently used Nexus 4×4 fixtures during One Night private event at Costa Salguero, creatively placed inside clear chandeliers, for awesome effects. Here are a few shots of the Nexus 4×4 attached to the ceiling and downlighting through transparent glass:
RCHP Awesomeness!
About 85 CHAUVET Professional luminaires took center stage with rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers for a fiery performance at Coliseo de Puerto Rico Jose Miguel Agrelot. Musique Xpress Lights from Puerto Rico used 49 Q-Wash 560Z-LED & 35 Q-Wash 260-LED wash lights paced on high truss sticks throughout the set.
It’s the fifth installment of THE WEEKLY RIG from CHAUVET Professional and Trusst! This week’s installment is affectionately called THE GREAT WALL — check it out!
The Great Wall, built from TRUSST Trussing, gives a solid structure on stage for you to use in any configuration you can invent — the edges of The Great Wall design features built-in out-rigging support in the form of truss legs that keeps the design upright and weight-balanced. Make sure that if you modify this design at all that you plan in these pieces on the edges to support the structure!
THE GREAT WALL utilizes several different models of TRUSST trussing, including 6-way corner blocks (strong and dependable!) 3m straight sections, 2.5m straight sections, 1m straight sections, and 24″ base plates. THE GREAT WALL is a tall-standing backdrop for your tour, band, event, or for anything else to which you can add light and truss!
This week’s installment of THE WEEKLY RIG features the powerful and fast LEGEND 330 SR Spot from CHAUVET Professional — a moving head spot that is just as much of a feature-packed tool as it is a photon cannon. Also included on the FOH Truss are the venerable Q-Wash 419Z LED fixtures, used in THE GREAT WALL design for front light color washes, and the excellent 3200K LED fresnel in the Ovation line, the Ovation F-165WW, as low backlight blasts. Truss toning of THE GREAT WALL is done by the COLORado 1 Tri-7 Tour, one of CHAUVET Professional’s hot LED PARs that blasts color down the chords of the truss effectively and intensely.
Spread the word, The Weekly Rig #5 is OUT!
