About the CHAUVET Professional Ovation Ellipsoidal HD Lens Tube (36°, Black)
The CHAUVET Professional Ovation Ellipsoidal HD Lens Tube is a high-definition optical accessory designed to enhance the performance of compatible ellipsoidal reflector spotlights (ERS), commonly known as Lekos. This precision-engineered lens tube is crafted to replace the standard lens train in fixtures like the CHAUVET Ovation series, significantly improving light output, edge sharpness, and overall optical fidelity. It is an essential upgrade for theatrical, live event, and architectural lighting applications where a crisp, defined beam with minimal aberration and high contrast is required. The "HD" designation reflects its superior glass quality and optical design, which reduces chromatic aberration and provides a more uniform field of view compared to standard lenses.
Constructed with professional-grade coated glass elements, this lens tube ensures maximum light transmission and color fidelity. It is designed to produce a well-defined, hard-edged beam with excellent field flatness, allowing gobos and patterns to be projected with remarkable sharpness and detail. The lens tube typically features a standard beam angle, such as 36 degrees, providing a versatile focusable spot useful for key lighting, accenting, and pattern projection. Its build quality ensures precise alignment within the fixture, maintaining optical integrity even with frequent focus adjustments or fixture movement.
Compatibility is key, and this lens tube is engineered to fit specific CHAUVET Professional Ovation E-XXX series ellipsoidal fixtures. The installation process is straightforward, involving the removal of the existing lens tube and securing the HD replacement in its place. For lighting designers and technicians seeking to extract the highest possible performance from their ellipsoidal fixtures, upgrading to an HD Lens Tube is a cost-effective way to achieve a noticeable improvement in beam quality, sharpness, and overall optical performance, bringing the fixture closer to the standard set by premium theatrical lighting.
