CHAUVET Professional LDI 2024 – New Maverick Storm 1 Flex and STRIKE V

December 24, 2024

CHAUVET Professional built its LDI exhibit around the theme of “Revealing Our True Colors.” And true to form, evidence of the company’s color rendering prowess was everywhere in its immersive booth, which featured a design by Gigi Pedron. A pair of notable examples of this capability could be seen in exciting new additions to the wildly successful Maverick Storm and STRIKE series of fixtures.

The Maverick Storm 1 Flex and STRIKE V both build on the highly regarded reputations of their namesake series in terms of output and performance. Both fixtures also incorporate impressive new features that made them much talked about on the LDI show floor.

For the Maverick Storm 1 Flex, the story beings with it being a high-output, lamp-free multi-functional fixture. This IP65 520W versatile powerhouse delivers a smooth, consistent output without the disruptive hotspots associated with traditional discharge lamps.

With the Maverick Storm 1 Flex, designers can enjoy the flexibility of a multi-functional unit alongside the reliability of advanced LED technology. Sharp beams and dynamic effects, CMY+CTO color mixing, a tight 2.4° to 53° zoom, layerable prisms, rotating gobos — all of them and more are packed into this durable IP65-rated fixture without the issues of a discharge lamp.

The Maverick Storm 1 Flex also features a Sky Tracker Mode that allows up to four fixtures to operate in unison, creating dramatic aerial effects for large-scale applications.

Like the Maverick Storm 1 Flex, the new STRIKE V also made a splash at LDI through its sheer power and performance. Going beyond its famous Color STRIKE M cousin, this breakthrough hybrid strobe-wash offers two layers of 48 RGB LEDs that can be pixel-mapped individually.

The STRIKE V’s groundbreaking individual pixel control opens the way to unlimited creative possibilities. To expand design options even further, the motorized fixture has a variable electronic frost plate that can change beam angles instantly at the press of a button.

With its 180° tilt, versatile mounting options, and rugged IP65-rated durability, the intensely bright STRIKE V will find itself right at home in a wide variety of applications in 2025. So too will its LDI newcomer stablemate, the Maverick Storm 1 Flex.

Together both fixtures revealed CHAUVET Professional’s “true colors,” at LDI, which can aptly be described in four words: bold, quality-driven innovation!
