Domestically, Chauvet employs the services of over 32 rep firms and has an extensive network of local and online distributors. 


== 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.

[[File:Colorado2.jpg|right|thumb|the award winning Colorado 2 with an IP 66 rating.]]On May 7,2007, Chauvet announced that it had entered into a global licensing agreement with Philips (formerly Color Kinetics)<ref>http://www.ledsmagazine.com/news/4/5/18</ref>.

Recognizing that LED's are the light source of the future, Chauvet has made extensive use of this patent portfolio to create a broad range of professional LED products. VP Berenice Chauvet noted that the decision to turn to LED's as the company's primary light source was not only due to the longer lamp life but also based on a commitment to "Green Thinking."
