The fixture raises the bar on output, colour consistency and pixel effects, and thanks to its 27 (40 W) Osram RGBW LEDs, the Maverick MK3 Wash offers powerful wash effects for all applications." Cliff adds: "PLASA Focus Leeds continues to be a crucially important show for CHAUVET, and we look forward to demonstrating all our recently introduced fixtures – including the Maverick MK1 Spot and ÉPIX Strip IP LED – to new and existing customers alike.”
