SUNRISE,  Fla. – CHAUVET®, a leading manufacturer of LED lighting, announces the  release of an easy-to-use, mirror-ball simulator that  is a true substitute for the traditional mirror ball and pinspot duo.
 
Rotosphere™ LED is a globe-like fixture powered by five  high-performance, tri-colored LEDs that project through 124 lenses.  These lenses are evenly spaced to optimize output and reduce dead spots.  Smooth and continuous rotation allows this fixture to effortlessly  spin 360-degrees in both directions and blanket the entire room in  multicolored beams. Separate color control and adjustable rotation  speeds give the flexibility to create customized looks in stand-alone  mode without the need of DMX control. 
 
Easily mount Rotosphere™ LED to truss using the included bracket or  position it on a table for a striking centerpiece. Create customized  light shows using four channels of DMX control or simply use the built  in, sound-activated programs that spin and change  color to the beat of the music.

CHAUVET(r), a leading manufacturer of professional lighting, announced today 15 CHAUVET(r) fixtures
proudly took the stage during the 26th annual International Dance Music Awards held Thursday,
March 10, 2011 at Dolce in Miami Beach, Fla. The event, hosted by Daniel Glass, owner of
Glassnote Entertainment Group, featured performances by Cedric Gervais & Mya, Chris Willis,
Dev & The Cataracs, Emii, Grace, Wynter Gordon and Zakes. CHAUVET(r) served as a sponsor for IDMA
as well as the 26th annual Winter Music Conference.

Seven Legend(tm) 6500 LEDmoving heads lined the back of the stage as well as the DJ booth.
Illuminating the DJ booth were three COLORstrip(tm) linear LED wash lights. Six COLORado(tm) 2
static LED wash lights were strategically placed to uplight the clear columns and fabric backdrops
on either side of the stage. Two COLORdash(tm) PAR LED wash lights were positioned under the podium,
illuminating the projection surfaces that ensconced it.

"We are surrounded by CHAUVET(r) lights," said Junior Sanchez , music producer, remixer, and DJ,

CHAUVET(r), a leading manufacturer of LED lighting, announced 40 MiN(tm) Wash RGBW
http://www.chauvetlighting.com/min-wash-rgbw.htmlpalm-sized moving heads were installed in a new ultra lounge in Baltimore called
The Get Down. The lights were specified by lighting and production designer
Scott Chmielewski, president of Digital Media Designs and co-owner of the lounge
with partner, Bryan Burkert.

The lounge resides in a former music room called Fletcher's that underwent a swanky
transformation to become a hip happy hour and dance night ultra lounge. It is three
stories tall and encompasses 7,000 square feet of dance floors, DJ booths, bars,
balconies and, of course, lights. The lights-MiN(tm) Wash RGBW and a plethora of
other LED-fitted fixtures-are everywhere, but are discreetly placed throughout the
club. The beauty of MiN(tm) Wash RGBW fixtures is they are small enough to fit in
the palm of a hand and have become a staple of night clubs where low energy
consumption and discreet operation are important.

"The [MiN(tm) Wash RGBW] are bright enough for presence and small enough to
disappear," said Chmielewski. "They are literally everywhere; hanging from the
ceiling and other structures. They are undetectable and give a large amount of
light."

A green approach was taken towards the club's overall design. The floors, bars and
walls are made from 100 percent recyclable materials. Every light incorporated in
the club is LED-based, save the Edison light bulbs from the 1920s. These vintage
bulbs are found in the two small 'Edison rooms' hanging at random heights and are
employed for their cool look and a "sexy, warm glow-more objects than fixtures."
There are also recycled blue banquettes on one of the dance floors, salvaged from
famed club Roxy.

"It was the right thing to do," said Chmielewski of the green design. "And it was
done without compromise to the cost, design or aesthetic of the club."

The rest of the spaces include unique design elements like carefully constructed
wall treatments and floating video screens coupled with the building's original
1920s brick surfaces and exposed wood. The 'woven wall' design covers significant
portions of the club and is comprised of 10-inch segments of a custom made black
material which are woven together to create a textured surface over LED lights. When
these lights are off, it appears to be an opaque surface, but when the LEDs are on,
they shine through and create a color-changing panel effect.

Other walls feature a layered geometric design element whereby the outer layer
stands four inches off the wall and is lit from behind. There is another section
where the walls are covered by pulp bamboo which is downlit from the ceiling above
in fuchsia. High-definition LCD video screens, encased in backlit structures which
stand off the wall, seem to float around the second floor loft while displaying
organic imagery. All the elements combined create what Chmielewski describes as an
"immersive experience."

"It's a small, funky, intimate place," said Chmielewski, "and there's not a surface
in the building that doesn't change color."

CHAUVET announces two new, LED effect lights that are perfect for bands and mobile DJs:

 

Sweeper LED and 6SPOT

 

Both feature six 3W, tri-colored LEDs and can be used together, working in master/slave mode, for larger, coordinated shows. They both have sound-activated and built-in automated programs and up to 20 units can be power linked to save on setup time. Additionally, as with almost any CHAUVET fixtures, they have Edison power linking which make them very compatible and easy to use with other fixtures.

 

Sweeper LED (video here) has six pods of tri-colored LEDs contained in a single casing which sweep fat, crisp, round beams of color across the floor. Each pod can be individually controlled for amazing color chases, sequences and effect combinations. Another stand out feature can be achieved in master/slave mode. The master and slaved units can run as mirror images of each other, allowing you to make complex looking shows and effects with just the touch of a button. In other words, you can run pod six to pod one, then pod one to pod six and invert your show automatically. Sweep the crowd, floor, stage or room with one easy-to-use, compact, multi-beam effect light.

 

6SPOT (video here) has six low-profile spot lights-less than four inches long-which allow the fixture to fit almost anywhere. These six heads are individually controllable and positionable and each contains a high-power, tri-color LED to create seven popular colors. This color-changer system can be controlled via DMX or by running automatic or sound-activated programs. It can be setup or taken down in minutes, mounting easily to the popular 4BAR system or any universal tripod, and saves space at your gig. It can give total room or stage coverage and comes with its own travel bag.
