Hot on the heels of its UK debut at PLASA Focus Leeds, Chauvet Professional has announced a day of hands-on introduction to launch the ground-breaking Chauvet Professional Rogue range of fixtures, to be held at the Leighton Buzzard premises of Leisuretec Distribution, on Tuesday 13th May, 2014.The four models of the Rogue series comprise two power output levels of moving head spot fixtures and moving beam luminaires. Chauvet Europe general manager, Michael Brooksbank, illustrates: “Rogue is unique in offering such outstanding performance with so many features for its price. Rogue will allow designers on a limited budget to create some very intense, high-impact designs with crisp beams, bright colours, aerial effects and split colours that may have been out of reach to them in the past because the budget wasn’t there.”

Rogue R1 Spot is powered by a 140W LED for a very even flat field. It has a 16° beam angle, making it ideal for gobo projection. An eight-colour colour wheel, two gobo wheels and a three-facet prism allow this compact fixture to produce some impressive aerial effects, while its motorised iris and focus contribute to easy beam shaping.

Rogue R1 Beam is a powerful beam effect that uses an Osram Sirius 132W HRI lamp to produce 78,700 lux at 15 metres. This fixture offers the ability to layer both prisms simultaneously for eye-popping effects. This light’s steel gobo wheel has 17 slots plus open and allows aerial gobos plus a mix of apertures for tightly collimated beam locks.

Rogue R2 Spot is an intense 240W LED automated spot featuring two continuously and variably scrolling colour wheels that place a world of colour splitting options at every user’s fingertips. Other features include gobo morphing between wheels, a 16.5° beam angle with motorised iris, frost and 3-facet prism and 16 bit LED dimming for excellent fade control.

Rogue R2 Beam is a powerful beam effect that produces 133,200 lux at 15 metres using an Osram Sirius 230W HRI lamp, and features an eight-facet rotating prism that can be used to create an endless array of dynamic looks. This powerful light cannon also features a tight 1° beam angle with crisp aerial effects and a colour wheel with 14 colours.

Attendees of the UK launch will experience an exclusive Rogue light show, supported by the Chauvet Professional Affinity and Nexus ranges, also available from Leisuretec. They will also be able to get up close to the new range of fixtures in hour-long interactive sessions running through the day.
