What CHAUVET Professional does

CHAUVET Professional is a US-based designer and manufacturer of professional entertainment lighting fixtures, LED video panels, atmospheric effects, and supporting rigging and control accessories, headquartered in Sunrise, Florida and operating as a brand within the privately-held CHAUVET & Sons, Inc. "House of Brands" (which also includes CHAUVET DJ, Kino Flo, LiteGear, ChamSys, and LynTec). The company's products are engineered around proprietary LED color engines (RGBW, RGBACM, RGBAM, and the new Rêve platform), advanced pixel-mapping with alignment hardware, IP65/IP66/IP67-rated weatherproofing for outdoor touring, silent operation profiles for theater and broadcast, and broad control-protocol support (DMX512, RDM, Art-Net, sACN, W-DMX, plus NFC for powered-off fixture configuration via the unrival app). The portfolio spans 15+ product series including Maverick and Rogue moving heads, Ovation theatrical fixtures, STRIKE blinders/strobes, COLORado and Colordash IP65 washes, EPIX/REM/F-Series video systems, onAir broadcast soft lights, WELL battery-powered uplighting, Amhaze/Cloud 9/Vesuvio atmospheric machines, and RIGLINK cabling.

The company sells exclusively through a global network of authorized dealers and distributors, supplemented by direct enterprise sales support, regional showrooms, trade show presence at ISE and InfoComm, and a U.S. consumer financing partnership with Quail Financial Solutions. End users span concert and touring productions (Bruno Mars, Nine Inch Nails, Mary J. Blige, Stereophonics, Interpol), major festivals (Coachella, Glastonbury with 17+ stages, Ultra), theaters and houses of worship, broadcast studios, architectural installations, and corporate events; the company is increasingly extending into marine-grade and architectural verticals. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales with quote-based B2B pricing, complemented by warranty and professional service offerings; the business is privately-held with no disclosed funding rounds, no external investment indicated, and operates within a multi-brand parent that provides vertical integration across lighting fixtures, control consoles (ChamSys), power distribution (LynTec), cinema LED (Kino Flo, LiteGear), and DJ/entertainment (CHAUVET DJ).
