Maximum Impact Across Beam, Spot, and Wash: Maverick Storm 1 Hybrid
The Chauvet Professional Maverick Storm 1 Hybrid delivers all-weather versatility and high-impact optics in a single IP65-rated platform. Powered by a 420W Osram Sirius HRI lamp, this fixture projects a massive 30,978-lumen output and switches seamlessly between tight beam, crisp spot, and lush wash applications. In beam mode, the 0.8°–7.4° zoom delivers pinpoint aerials, while spot and wash modes expand out to a wide 32.2°.
True hybrid flexibility comes from the dual rotating and static gobo wheels, animation disc, independently stackable 5-facet linear and 8-facet circular prisms, and onboard heavy frost. CMY color mixing yields deeply saturated primaries, while a 14-color wheel adds split color and scroll effects for advanced aerial layering. Whether projecting gobos or flattening beams for a wash look, the Maverick Hybrid is built for visual dominance at any throw distance.
Control is equally versatile, with full support for DMX, ArtNet, sACN, RDM, and W-DMX wireless. It also includes an IP-rated USB-C port for software updates, an OLED display, and Sky Tracker Mode for pre-programmed motion loops. This unit is fully certified for touring and outdoor installs with CE, MET, FCC, and UKCA compliance and IP65-rated construction in a durable magnesium housing.
Real-World Applications and Lighting Roles:
- Long-throw searchlight and aerial FX in Sky Tracker mode
- Hybrid gobo projection in corporate, arena, or broadcast environments
- Outdoor beam, spot, and wash coverage in one fixture

LED & Optical System of the Maverick Storm 1 Hybrid
Extreme output meets hybrid flexibility. At the core of the Maverick Storm 1 Hybrid is an Osram Sirius HRI 420W discharge lamp optimized by Chauvet’s advanced optical design. Its 174mm front lens and IP65-rated optical path deliver punchy beams, defined spots, and smooth washes with minimal chromatic aberration.
Three fully distinct projection modes are available—Beam, Spot, and Wash—each with independent zoom curves:
- Beam: 0.8°–7.4° beam angle, up to 226,074 lux @ 15m
- Spot: 1.3°–17.7° beam angle, 30,978 lumens peak
- Wash: 3.6°–16.6° beam angle, 71,522 lux @ 5m
Additional beam field and cutoff angle data allow precise field calculations for installs or multi-fixture rigging plans.
All optical data is verified using Chauvet Professional’s photometric lab conditions for precision beam planning.
Gobo, Prism, and Animation Capabilities
Two fully-loaded gobo wheels equip the Storm 1 Hybrid with both rotating and static imaging power. Gobo Wheel 1 features 9 interchangeable rotating glass gobos (16mm outer diameter), while the static wheel offers 17 steel gobos for crisp aerial projection.
Independent and layerable prisms deliver flexible mid-air breakup and lensing effects:
- 5-facet linear prism (rotating)
- 8-facet round prism (rotating)
Animation wheel and frost system expand the creative range—adding texture and allowing the fixture to shift from hard-edge to soft wash with the motorized heavy frost.
Slot-n-lock gobo design and motorized prism rotation streamline both live operation and custom gobo installation workflows.
Networking, Protocols & Sky Tracker Control
Full-scale protocol integration makes the Maverick Storm 1 Hybrid compatible with nearly any control architecture. Supported protocols include:
- DMX-512 (5-pin IP-rated XLR)
- RDM
- Art-Net & sACN (Neutrik etherCON)
- W-DMX wireless
Failsafe Ethernet passthrough maintains Art-Net/sACN continuity even during local power loss—ideal for mission-critical rigs.
The built-in Sky Tracker mode allows up to 4 fixtures to sync pan/tilt movements in a searchlight-style formation without external programming—powerful for outdoor activations and crowd-sweep effects.
Every data connection is IP65 rated, and the Type-C USB port enables direct firmware updates via field laptop.
Housing, Power, and Touring Grade Durability
Chauvet’s magnesium alloy and flame-retardant polymer chassis provides a lightweight yet rugged build, fully sealed to IP65 with a GORE valve for pressure equalization. Rated for use from -10°C to 45°C (14°F to 113°F), this fixture is built for rain, dust, and heat.
Power input is via Seetronic Powerkon IP65 connector, with current draw rated at:
- 660W / 5.54A @ 120V
- 648W / 3.124A @ 208V
- 647W / 2.8A @ 230V
Noise levels are ultra-low, registering just 41.2 dB(A) at 1 meter under full load—crucial for theatrical and broadcast use.
All structural and power specs meet MET, CE, FCC, and UKCA certifications for global touring compatibility.
How to Deploy the Maverick Storm 1 Hybrid
The Maverick Storm 1 Hybrid is built for rugged touring conditions, festival rigs, and permanent outdoor installs—its IP65-rated housing and robust aluminum/magnesium body make it equally capable in extreme weather or arena-level environments.
- Truss Mounting: Secure using the included (2) 140mm Omega brackets and hardware. The base features industry-standard mounting positions for C-clamps and trigger clamps.
- Inverted or Base-Up: Fixture supports inverted operation for high-angle beam and sky tracker effects or base-up mounting for theatrical projection.
- Outdoor & Wet Locations: Fully rated for permanent outdoor use with pressure-equalizing M12 GORE valve to maintain housing integrity in all weather conditions.
- Sky Tracker Mode: Built-in functionality allows multiple fixtures to link together for searchlight-style beam patterns without external control.
