Chauvet expands Ovation

Chauvet Professional has revealed the latest addition to its line of Ovation house lights. The new, compact Ovation H-55FC offers versatility in houses of worship and other venues by fitting into smaller spaces. The RGBAL fixture works with the larger H-605FC, as well as other Ovation house lights, to provide an even field of light throughout a room. The installation process is simplified with the removable fixture yoke, sconce mounting kit and recess. The H-55FC features interchangeable lens plates to adapt to different mounting heights.

The convection-cooled H-55FC reportedly operates in complete silence, which makes it suitable for applications that need to eliminate distractive background noise. The fixture’s RDM and W-DMX control is said to provide users even greater flexibility. The compact fixture weighs in at 3.4kg and measures 334mm x 176mm x 115mm. It features an array of performance features, including 16-bit dimming, a selectable red shift and virtual colour and colour temperature presets.

In other news, Chauvet has released the IP65-rated COLORado Batten Q15 which comes with an array of rigging options said to make it right at home in a wide range of designs. The adjustable trunnions on this 1m-long RGBW LED batten, which can be adjust without tools on its integrated track, have reportedly been given an even greater degree of versatility with the addition of ¼ turn omega brackets.

Adding to the COLORado Batten Q15’s adaptability is a new system for joining different units together. Integrated into the end caps of the fixture is a system to connect units for perfect row alignment. Since these attachments are weight bearing, the COLORado Batten Q15 can be hung “icicle style” or arranged in tower configurations using the included hanging/floor mount plate. Features include an elliptical 42–15° beam spread, a stowable glare shield, colour temperature presets from 3,200–10,000K and selectable smooth dimming curves.
