Academy of Production Technology: Day one. What is electricity? The scope of the first day was about entertainment electricity and electrical theory. For example, how to measure current, voltage, wattage, calculate phase angles, Ohm’s law and AC and DC power. There were quite a few ‘did you know?’ moments as well. Did you know you […]
We visited The Lyric Theater recently and while checking out their collection of CHAUVET gear used in the theater and the neighboring Flagler Center, we grabbed a shot of their ghost light. The one above is in the foreground with COLORdash Batten Tri linear wash lights on the cyc while some LED PAR 38 Tri […]
Ten COLORado Batten 72 Tour linear wash lights traveled to Puerto Rico to animate a Christian concert at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot. Five LED wash lights were installed symmetrically on each side of a video screen and used as sidelights. The lights were specified and temporarily installed for the event […]
CHAUVET joined a one-of-a-kind party thrown by Algam, distributor of musical instruments, audio and lighting equipment throughout France. Algam exclusively distributes CHAUVET DJ and Professional products. Organized every two years, the party aims to bring together Algam’s main suppliers. CHAUVET lights filled the hotel where the event took place, and lit a theater, showroom, bar […]

We worked day and night installing 46 pieces of truss, 31 motors and ran […]
Written by Mike Graham, product manager for CHAUVET Professional …And then it was over. After four days of load in, each consisting of about 14 hours per day, three days of show, and 12 hours of load out, it is all done. LDI 2011 is officially in the can. I have barely had time to […]
Out of more than 120 exhibitors, CHAUVET’s infectious lighting became contagious and received the Best Large Booth award at LDI 2011 in Orlando. It’s not the first time CHAUVET has stolen the show and infected attendees with light. In 2007, we received the same award at LDI when we ingeniously presented the “It’s Green Thinking” […]
Josh Groban‘s Straight to You Tour played its first show—back in the States, fresh from its European leg—at the Bank Atlantic Center (which is just minutes away from CHAUVET HQ!) in Sunrise, Fla. We had a chance to see the crooner perform live as well as see 14 of our COLORado Batten 144 Tour linear […]
