Chauvet's new Ellipsoidal LED light
« on: January 31, 2016, 03:12:52 AM »

http://www.chauvetdj.com/products/ellipsoidal-100z/

Just saw this while looking around on Chauvet's site.  100W LED, 3500k temperature, 14-30* zoom, and gel frame.  Looks more to be for gobo's but could be used as a "mini-LEKO" if wanted.  Thoughts?

The issue for running colored gel will be the percentage of light lost to the absorbtion of the gel. R33 (no color pink) doesn't have as much loss as R80
(blue). BTW, the spec sheet shows the luminous intensity at 2m at 9 degrees and 30 degrees.

They just announced an RGBAL (lime!?) version.

I haven't seen it yet, but it looks interesting.

That's pretty cool. The manual actually shows the needed dmx values of the RGBAL to get to 30 Rosce gels, but you can use an internal function to call up a given Roscoe color.  As a real (professional) fixture, they list photometric data at useful heights (5m) and with various lenses.

As a follow-up, the RGBAL system means the user does not have to use gel in order to get color.  The ability to control the beam (both with lenes and with the shutters) means you can tightly focus on a person or object without too much light spill.  Plus, you can color change and keep exactly the same focus and shutter cuts.  (More useful for theater and dance, but very useful for some HOW purposes.

It's good.  I've seen it.  Chauvet is soooo close to getting pro level theater products but you still have to be ok with their support, which is meh... ETCs RGBL fixture is just as good if not better (I've seen both but not a/b at the same time) and it's cheaper or same price with 24 hour tech support.

They went with Lime so they can be included in bids against people trying to specifically spec ETC without actually putting ETC on the spec, as you're typically not allowed to list specific manufacturers on those things

Of course anyone worth their salt writing a bid spec can get around that...   Preferred alternates and strongly written bid can get the right piece of gear for the job usually.

I played with one at the NAMM show, seemed to be a well thought out fixture. BTW Source Four lenses will fit these things!
