UK - Chauvet is set to introduce three new products to the UK market at PLASA Focus 2011. "This expansion will allow for a quicker turnaround and access to more products with increased inventory," said Michael Brooksbank, sales manager for Chauvet UK.

WELL, or Wireless Event LED Luminaire, is designed specifically to be a self-contained uplight for any event. Inside each WELL wash light are 12 3W tri-colour LEDS, similar to the 14 found in the COLORado 1-TRI Tour, giving it "great colour mixing without any multi-coloured shadows". It is powered by a 12-volt battery offering at least 12 hours of life to the fixture. For control, standard DMX ports are available, as well as a pre-installed Wireless Solution WDMX receiver.

Australia - At first glance, Moorebank Sports Club in southern Sydney appears to be located in an ideal position when it comes to neighbours who complain about noise leakage. However, even though the Club is surrounded by a large car park, fields and bush land and the nearest neighbour is over 250m away, there were still noise issues.
