== History==

Chauvet started in the late 80's, evolving rapidly from an OEM developer of mobile DJ and beacon lights based in Florida, to one of the most recognized brands in entertainment lighting worldwide. When it was first established, Chauvet mainly sold rope lights,novelties, and simple plug and play effect lights. In the early 1990's, founder Albert Chauvet made the decision to create his own brand, CHAUVET, and bring on a staff of experienced mobile DJs and lighting designers who helped transform what was a small, local company into a dynamic global outfit. CHAUVET began it expansion by offering DMX controlled effect lights to mobile DJs. With the launch of the Legend and Q series, CHAUVET made a push to enter the club and permanent install markets. Most recently, CHAUVET has begun to move into the production and theater markets with high end LED and moving head products. The company currently produces products aimed at all these segments of the entertainment industry as well as a line of architectural lights.

Chauvet manufactures most of its fixtures in Asian factories. While production goes on in Asia, all product development is done at Chauvet's Hollywood, FL, facility. Quality control is done twice: once at the factories in Asia and yet again when the products reach Chauvet's headquarters. Chauvet's research and development team is also based in Florida.
