An LED Ellipsoidal Spot You Can Love
A traditional staple of theatrical lighting, ellipsoidal spots like Chauvet's EVE E-50Z let you define target areas with the crisp edges' intensely focused beams. There are two things that immediately set the EVE E-50Z apart from standard spots: it's built around an LED lamp, and you can control it via DMX. The EVE E-50Z even includes wireless DMX support when you plug in an optional D-Fi USB transceiver (not included). Manual focus/zoom lets you get crisp lines at a wide range of distances, and framing shutters let you carve out hard lines to define specific areas (e.g., doorways, the DJ booth, or sections of the dance floor). Flicker-free operation makes the EVE-E50Z perfect for on-camera use, and DMX integration provides up to three channels of remote control.

Breakthrough ellipsoidal with DMX control
It hasn't been long since the idea of a DMX-controlled ellipsoidal spot, let alone one with an LED lamp, would have been heretical, but Chauvet totally makes it work with the EVE E-50Z. For starters, at 20 degrees, the 50-watt LED lamp dishes out 7,910 lumens (measured at 2m), a respectable level of illumination for a compact and affordable ellipsoidal fixture. A pair of DMX settings lets you choose your level of control. One-channel mode simply provides you with smooth dimming; whereas 3-channel DMX mode adds full 256-level strobe effect and variable dimmer speed modes.
D-Fi USB port supports wireless DMX
When power isn't an issue but running DMX cables is, D-Fi USB is a serious asset. The EVE E-50Z features a special USB port that accepts a Chauvet D-Fi USB transceiver. This transceiver lets your EVE E-50Z receive wireless DMX from your D-Fi hub or even your smartphone, if you add a FlairCon Air to your rig. What's more, you can create master/slave links between D-Fi equipped lighting fixtures, allowing you to set up sophisticated, automated light shows without even touching a DMX controller or running a single DMX cable.
Go green and turn down the heat with LEDs
Chauvet is one of the first companies to make reliable high-output LED lighting fixtures, such as the EVE E-50Z, widely available. As a US Green Building Council LEED Platinum certified company, Sweetwater really gets the value in LED fixtures. In fact, LED lighting fixtures draw just a tenth (or less) the wattage of similar incandescent fixtures, which pays off at the meter and turns down the heat.
For installs, the lower electrical bills are a nice bonus, and the savings quickly add up. Touring light techs appreciate not having to wait for the lights to cool down before loading up. And of course, everyone benefits from the lower ambient heat onstage and in the rest of the venue. Burned-out gels and overheating are also on the list of heat-related issues you'll never have to face when you go with an LED lighting fixture like the EVE E-50Z.
