One of the products arousing significant interest on the stand was CHAUVET DJ’s new D-Fi USB series. Powered via a standard USB connection, these lighting fixtures – ranging from low-profile LED pars and COB (Chip-on-Board) color washes, to a gobo projector, LED strobe and simulated water effect – all are controllable with a revolutionary thumb-drive-sized D-Fi USB transceiver, the D-Fi USB. As the fixtures can connect to CHAUVET DJ’s new D-Fi USB transceiver (which eliminates the need for any DMX cables), significant interest was stirred up with both budding DJ lighting designers and more experienced veterans looking to incorporate new technological gadgets into their show setups.
Calvary Church
Upgrade in Lighting
Calvary Church’s chapel recently underwent a substantial upgrade with the installation of 70 CHAUVET fixtures, aiming at saving energy, minimizing costs and bringing a vivid atmosphere to worship services. Switching to an all-LED inventory from traditional luminaires, the 350-seat chapel now transforms under the colored light of 48 COLORrail IRC linear wash fixtures and 17 COLORado Zoom Tour wash lights. Jack Kelly, lighting designer and owner of Eye Dialogue Lighting and Sound, drenches the white arched ceiling that fans out above the congregation in soft pastels.

“Although we’ve been regular exhibitors at BPM for several years now, given that we’re celebrating CHAUVET’s 25th anniversary, this year was extremely important for us,” said CHAUVET General Manager for Europe, Michael Brooksbank. “To mark this momentous milestone, we really pulled out all the stops, and it paid off…The guests were absolutely enthralled by our new products.” Some 10,000 visitors were treated to no less than five new CHAUVET DJ product launches: the D-Fi USB series, the Intimidator Trio, the Swarm 4 FX and the COREpar 40, 80 and UV USB series.

Upgrade in Lighting
Hung above the audience from niches above the stage, COLORado Zoom Tour wash fixtures light the performers and speakers on stage. Used for cove lighting are COLORrail IRC linear wash fixtures. Technical Director for the church Shelton Morgan said he is impressed with the COLORrail IRC and COLORado Zoom Tour lights equally but for different reasons. “I like the COLORrail IRC for its flexibility and chases and runaway effects,” he said. “COLORado Zoom Tour is very efficient for us because I don’t have to refocus the light. I can zoom in and out from the controller.” Brian Barker, project manager for Eye Dialogue Lighting and Sound, said the church invested in the new CHAUVET fixtures to save on power, be green and to change the traditional look of the chapel. “The LED lights completely transform the space. The ceiling is so colorful now and the lights color the stage,” Barker said.
