Designed for use with Chavet Ovation Profile fixtures, the Chauvet Ovation HD 5 degree Lens is ready to hire now from IPS.
Catchily named in our hire inventory as the Chauvet Ovation HD Lens Tube 5deg, this is a great product. The tight beam angle created by this lens is great for precision lighting work, and gobo projection over long distances. The HD optics help ensure a sharp focused output of light every time. Compatible with LED source ellipsoidal reflector spotlight fixtures. Chauvet refer to these as ERS-style, we usually call them either profiles, or by the name of the product that ‘inspired’ this generation, the Source 4.
IPS also have an extensive hire stock of fixed profile lenses, which includes 14, 19. 26, 36, 50 degree options. Plus a 25-50deg Zoom.
The Chauvet HD lenes differ in two key ways from their ETC source 4 counterparts. These are that they are typically fitted with plastic lenses which are optimised for LED fixtures (hence the HD). The other bonus is that all fittings are made from stainless steel. This makes these lenses very durable and resilant to indoor or outdoor use. This makes them the perfect partner for the IPS stock of all IP-rated variants of the Ovation product range.
This Chauvet Ovation HD 5 degree Lens is compatible with all the IPS Ovation hire options including E-910FC IP, E-260WW IP and Reve E-3 IP fixtures.

Its outdoor rated power and data connectors allow for easy connections without propriety cabling. Control it as you see fit with W-DMX and RDM.
A discrete, high powered LED up-lighter, this small battery powered wash light comes in a reflective chrome housing designed to blend into any decor.

All of these features combined make the WELL Fit a perfect solution for quick setup and distinguished accent lighting.
Each uplighter is powered by a lightweight battery offering 8 hours of operation at full and a quick 5 hours charging time for frequent use.
Light output is via 4x 10W RGBA LEDs to create the strong output with a 10.8 degree beam angle.
Supplied from IPS in a six way compact flightcase. The wheeled cases also have stacking cups for easy storage. IPS supply all battery uplighters fully charged at the start of the hire period unless otherwise stated. This ensures Chauvet WELL Fit Wireless uplighters are quick to deploy.

Designed for use with Chavet Ovation Profile fixtures, the Chauvet Ovation 25-50deg Zoom Lens is ready to hire now from IPS.
Catchily named in our hire inventory as the Chauvet Ovation HD Lens Tube 25-50deg Zoom, this is a great product. The zoom range allows for onsite flexibility, helping ensure a correctly sized and sharp focused output of light every time. Compatible with LED source ellipsoidal reflector spotlight fixtures. Chauvet refer to these as ERS-style, we usually call them either profiles, or by the name of the product that ‘inspired’ this generation, the Source 4.

The Chauvet HD lenes differ in two key ways from their ETC source 4 counterparts. These are that they are typically fitted with plastic lenses which are optimised for LED fixtures (hence the HD). The other bonus is that all fittings are made from stainless steel. This makes these lenses very durable and resilant to indoor or outdoor use. This makes them the perfect partner for the IPS stock of all IP-rated variants of the Ovation product range.
This 25-50deg Zoom Lens is compatible with all the IPS Ovation hire options including E-910FC IP, E-260WW IP and Reve E-3 IP fixtures.

Equivalent in dimensions to the old Astera AX5 Par, but with a superior light output, and more advanced battery technology. It’s a fixture every event, film, or broadcast crew will want on set.

The QuikSpot battery delivers rapid recharge times and provides more than 4 hours of output, even at maximum brightness. You can achieve up to 20 hours using the clever power‑saving settings.

Introducing the Showtec Edison Bar E6. IPS offer the Edison Bar for hire supplied with 6x 4W dimmable warm white LED Filament lamps. Channeling the warm white glow of the much loved sunstrip, this retro style fixture is a simple idea that looks great when deployed. They look especially effective when used in multiples.
The six warm white filament lamps supplied with this unit are each a rounded rectangle shape. Featuring a ‘twisted filament’ style, they are 113mm long and have a 1800K colour temperature. The Edison Bar E6 has a very low overall maximum rated power consumption of 130W per fixture. However, the 4W LED lamp fitted by IPS means that in practice this figure may be even lower.
The E6 part of the product name refers to the six E27 sockets distributed along its length. Each E27 lamp holder receives power from a DMX‑controlled LED dimmer, which supports light sources up to 8 watts. You can control the output of each channel manually or via DMX. The unit operates in Manual, Auto‑run, or Sound‑controlled mode and offers many built‑in programs
The Edison Bar has a very similar chassis design to the sunstrip with a 1m long body. It is constructed from metal with a black finish, and comes with mounting brackets for quick rigging. Each fixture hired from IPS is supplied with a pair of omega brackets fitted with super lightweight half couplers and a safety bond for easy rigging. The Edison bar also has floor stand brackets on each end too. It maintains a consistent lamp spacing when deployed end to end for a seamless look.
Power connections to the Showtec Edison Bar E6 (3Pin DMX) are via powerCON inlet, and the fixture has a handy link out too. Each unit hired from IPS is supplied with a 16A to powerCON power cable. DMX connection is via 3pin DMX. Don’t forget to add 3-5pin and 5-3pin DMX cable adaptors to your hire if you need them!
