I can't and won't try to speak for other manufacturers, but, I can talk about Chauvet Professional products. 99% of the products branded as Chauvet Professional are MET tested and listed and carry that mark, as well as some others (CE, UKCA, FCC). The logos of these marks are shown on the...

Weight. While it may not be a consideration for you and your application, if you take a ~40-70lb moving head and make it aluminum (actually Magnesium Alloy is a better material and lighter still), you now made a 100+lb fixture that many people will be lifting in and out of cases everyday. A 1...

It’s semantics… we call it Royal Blue as we did in previous models. Others call it indigo.

Well....I'm the one who did the initial mixes on the E-910 and developed the fixture, so, I'd trust me on this ;) A lot of colors were modeled on Rosco as the US market is far and away our largest, but, not all, and again, those specific shades are those company's IP, so, we choose to respect...

- 3 years "Bumper to Bumper", 5 years on the engine. Our warranties do NOT have a laundry list of exceptions like some others...just a couple obvious ones. (aside, I do encourage everyone to actually read the warranty statements, especially on those that have BIG timeframes attached to them....)...

@gafftaper and @JChenault : I was actually alerted to this after your demos, and dug in headlong. Long story short, we did find a little bug in the dimming algorithm, so we went back and re-wrote the whole thing. A patch was just released to our team, and I think the dimming is phenomenal now...

Take a look at the Ovation CYC 1 FC. It might tick all the boxes for you. It's certainly more expensive than a zip strip, but, it's got a lot of uses. Footlight was one application I designed it for. They should be around $900, unless you have a friendly dealer willing to work with you on the...

The trim of that CYC was about 18' if I recall correctly. We shot that a while ago, so, my detail recall is a little foggy, but I want to say it was 18-20'.

I knew someone would say that...

MAP (Street) pricing will be around $9,000.00, YMMV based on whatever deal you can work with your Chauvet Professional Dealer of choice.@macsound on the strobe, because of the 100% convection cooling, the LED array is only running at a fraction of it's potential for heat management and...

Thanks @macsound for the kind words... I am definitely way more comfortable backstage than on camera "What do I do with my hands!!!". It was designed more as a PR introduction to do a quick overview of the fixture itself. We wanted to hit on all the key features and briefly show them in B-roll...

Here you go... live! Demo fixtures available imminently, and virtual demos can be scheduled now through a Chauvet Professional Salesperson. https://www.chauvetprofessional.com/products/maverick-silens-2-profile/This is my baby, so, I'm happy to answer any questions publicly or privately.

It is indeed...we finished taping it yesterday. 2pm (Eastern), NEXT Thursday (18th) on Chauvet Professional social outlets. I'll be on FB answering questions.

Not just yet. As we release details over the coming weeks, pricing will be among them, so, make sure your local dealer/distributor knows you're interested as pricing will come to them first.

Thanks @gafftaper ...soon, very soon. This was to be a debut at USITT and Pro Light & Sound for us, it's too bad that couldn't happen.
