Chauvet Professional Rogue R2E Spot Moving Head Fixture

Chauvet Professional Rogue R2E Spot: Compact 350W Moving Head with Dual Gobo Wheels and Full Beam Control

The Rogue R2E Spot from Chauvet Professional delivers advanced optical performance in a compact, tour-ready package. Powered by a 350W cool white LED engine with a 70.4 CRI and color temperature of 7057K, this moving head spot fixture pushes out over 16,000 lumens of field-ready output with precise beam shaping and dynamic control. It features a 15.9° beam angle, motorized zoom and focus, and 11,345 lux at 5 meters — making it ideal for high-impact aerials and gobo-driven stage looks.

Core to its flexibility is a dual gobo system that includes a rotating, indexing wheel with slot-n-lock steel gobos and a static scrolling wheel for layered effects. Add in dual color wheels with split color capability, motorized iris, frost, and a rotating 3-facet prism, and the Rogue R2E becomes a full-featured beam sculpting tool for theaters, concerts, and clubs. PWM frequency is adjustable from 600Hz to 15,000Hz for flicker-free camera use, and selectable LED power output allows compatibility with legacy Rogue R2X Spot rigs.

Connectivity includes 3- and 5-pin DMX plus full RDM support for remote addressing and feedback. With just a 31.2 lb form factor, the Rogue R2E Spot is optimized for installs, rentals, and tours needing a lightweight yet highly capable LED profile.

Real-World Applications and Lighting Roles:

• Concert stage profiles with dual gobo morphing
• Clubs and venues needing motorized iris + frost shaping
• Broadcast or livestream use with selectable PWM for camera
• Touring rigs replacing legacy R2X Spots
• Mid-sized theaters or churches requiring advanced beam effects

Where This System Excels

• Dual Gobo Morphing: Seamlessly transitions between rotating and static gobos for layered visual textures.
• Advanced Beam Control: Includes motorized iris, 3-facet prism, and frost filter for shaping versatility.
• Split Color Aerial Effects: Two color wheels with split and scroll options for dynamic color beam projection.
• Compact Touring Power: Packs 16,345 lumens and advanced optics into a 31.2 lb chassis.
• RDM + PWM Versatility: Flicker-free performance on camera and remote configuration for pro installs.
• Legacy System Matching: Selectable LED output ensures consistency with R2X Spot-based systems.

Control Modes

The Rogue R2E Spot offers flexible control architecture with two DMX personality modes—19 or 22 channels—allowing designers to scale programming complexity to the needs of their show. It supports full DMX and RDM protocols, enabling remote addressing, monitoring, and configuration via compatible lighting consoles or RDM tools.

Selectable PWM frequencies range from 600 Hz to 15,000 Hz, providing flicker-free operation for broadcast, film, and livestream environments. Users can also limit the fixture’s LED power output for direct compatibility with older R2X Spot units in mixed-rig deployments.

Core control traits include:

• Pan/Tilt: 540° / 270° with multiple speed and range settings
• Dual color wheels: Split colors, continuous scroll, and instant selection
• Dual gobo wheels: Rotating (slot-n-lock), indexing, scrollable + fixed gobos
• Motorized frost, iris, and rotating 3-facet prism for beam shaping
• Electronic dimmer with 16-bit resolution for smooth fades
• Shutter/strobe with variable rate up to 22 Hz

All functions are accessible via DMX or through the fixture’s onboard UI and supported through full RDM feedback streams for streamlined system integration.

LED Source & Optical Precision in the Rogue R2E Spot

The 350W cool white LED engine in the R2E Spot delivers serious punch with 16,345 lumens of output and 11,345 lux at 5 meters. It’s optimized for aerials and mid-air beam work with a native 7057K color temperature and 90mm front lens. A fixed 15.9° beam angle produces tight throws, while motorized focus ensures sharp gobo transitions and consistent field rendering. Long-life performance (50,000 hours rated) makes this fixture ideal for install environments or heavy touring cycles.

Dual Gobo System & Advanced Color Layering

The Rogue R2E Spot’s effects engine includes:

• Two color wheels, each with 8 dichroic colors + white, with split-color and variable-speed scrolling
• Rotating gobo wheel with 7 metal gobos, interchangeable via slot-n-lock and fully indexable
• Static gobo wheel with 8 metal patterns + open, optimized for background texture or morphing layers
• 3-facet rotating prism and motorized frost for wash conversion or beam expansion

Gobo morphing between the two wheels is smooth and precise, thanks to 16-bit indexed positioning and slot timing. These capabilities make the R2E Spot ideal for layered aerial designs and custom texture blending.

DMX Mode Structure & Personality Options

The fixture supports 19- and 22-channel personalities with full access to:

• Pan/tilt control with selectable range (540°, 360°, 180°)
• Gobo rotation, indexing, and scroll speeds
• Split-color control and scrolling on both wheels
• Motorized frost, iris, and prism rotation (22ch only)

RDM compatibility enables remote fixture setup, troubleshooting, and profile management. PWM rates are user-selectable at 600 Hz, 1.2k, 2k, 4k, 6k, and 15k Hz for flicker-free film and broadcast scenarios. The fixture’s data architecture is purpose-built for fast cueing and clean tracking in timecoded shows or theatrical stacks.

Internal Logic & Real-World Efficiency Features

Several real-world tools are built into the R2E Spot's firmware:

• Move-in-Black behavior for blackout scene programming
• Selectable LED power output (50%–100%) to match R2X units or limit heat
• Multiple pan/tilt ranges to suit venue ceiling height or rig orientation
• Motorized iris and frost allow seamless conversion between beam, gobo, and soft wash states

Power linking is supported via Seetronic in/out, and cooling is intelligently regulated to ensure consistent output under high ambient temperatures. This is a programmer-focused fixture designed to deliver fast scene transitions with minimal operator effort.

How to Deploy the Rogue R2E Spot in the Field

The Rogue R2E Spot is engineered for fast rigging, easy service, and precise placement. Each unit ships with dual 140D Omega brackets and mounting hardware, allowing fast truss mounting via clamps or base plates. The fixture’s compact size and 31.2 lb weight make it ideal for single-tech setup in mobile or semi-permanent rigs.

Seetronic PowerKon in/out connections allow secure power linking across multiple units. You can safely power link:

• 2 units @ 120V
• 5 units @ 208V or 230V

Pan and tilt ranges are field-selectable (540°, 360°, 180° pan / 270°, 180°, 90° tilt), enabling tighter positional calibration in low-ceiling installs. Combine with flight cases for touring rigs or use compact clamps for permanent venue grid integration.
