Chauvet Professional Rogue R3E Spot 350W LED Moving Head

Chauvet Professional Rogue R3E Spot: Dual Gobo Precision with Touring-Class Output

The Rogue R3E Spot delivers full-scale beam flexibility in a lightweight, camera-safe profile built for installs, rentals, and mobile rigs. Powered by a robust 350W cool white LED engine with a native color temperature of 8,527K, it pushes out over 15,700 lumens through a 90mm front lens, with selectable PWM up to 15,000 Hz for flicker-free operation. Its expansive zoom range of 8.4° to 42.8° makes it equally at home in wide wash applications or tight aerial beams.

Core effects include two color wheels with 8 colors each, dual gobo wheels (one rotating and interchangeable, one static), and a dedicated 3-facet rotating prism, all working in tandem with a motorized iris, frost, zoom, and focus system. The R3E Spot excels at gobo morphing, indexing, and split-color scrolls—giving designers precise layered effects for any show environment. With dual personalities (19- or 25-channel DMX), full RDM support, and quiet operation modes as low as 31.2 dB(A), it offers exceptional flexibility for any pro-grade deployment.

Designed with Seetronic Powerkon IP65 I/O, 3- and 5-pin DMX, and USB-C for software updates, the R3E Spot is ready for fast integration and field service. It also features selectable output matching for legacy R1X workflows.

LED Engine & Optical System of the Rogue R3E Spot

At the heart of the Rogue R3E Spot is a 350W cool white LED engine rated at 50,000 hours and optimized for high-output punch with precise beam shaping. The native color temperature of 8,527K ensures crisp, daylight-balanced output, with a CRI of 68.2 for applications requiring moderate color accuracy. Its 90mm front lens and hybrid optical system deliver sharp imaging, while the advanced zoom motor delivers smooth, fast transitions across the full 8.4° to 42.8° range.

The system supports three angle tiers: a narrow beam angle down to 8.4°, a field angle up to 39.3°, and a max cutoff angle of 42.8°. This lets designers cover everything from tight mid-air aerials to wide-angle stage wash effects. Output measures up to 15,705 lumens with a peak illuminance of 35,405 lux at 5 meters (zoomed in).

Designed for professional environments, the fixture includes selectable PWM refresh rates ranging from 600 Hz to 15,000 Hz, ensuring flicker-free performance for film, camera, and broadcast use.

Gobo and Color System Architecture in the Rogue R3E Spot

The R3E Spot features dual gobo wheels and dual color wheels, offering layered effect creation without compromise. The rotating gobo wheel includes 7 metal gobos plus open, with interchangeable, indexing, slot-n-lock functionality and continuous scroll at variable speeds. The second gobo wheel is static with 8 metal gobos plus open, also scrollable at programmable speeds.

Color mixing is handled via two independent color wheels, each loaded with 8 dichroic colors plus white. Both wheels support split-color effects and continuous scrolling, enabling rapid palette shifts and multi-zone color blending. This dual-wheel layout allows advanced gobo-to-color morphing, ideal for cue-stacking and dynamic programming in larger rigs.

Beam shaping is expanded further with a dedicated 3-facet rotating prism, motorized frost for soft-edge output, and a motorized iris to tighten or widen the beam on the fly.

DMX Trait Mapping & Pan/Tilt Logic

The Rogue R3E Spot supports two DMX personalities: 19-channel basic and 25-channel advanced, both RDM-capable. The 25-channel mode offers complete access to every beam shaping feature, gobo index, dual color wheels, focus, zoom, prism rotation, iris, and frost. This makes it ideal for lighting designers using detailed cue stacks or pixel-mapped arrays.

• DMX Channel Modes: 19-channel, 25-channel
• Control Protocols: DMX512, RDM
• Pan/Tilt Resolution: 540° pan, 270° tilt with 16-bit control
• Pan/Tilt Ranges: Selectable 180°, 360°, or full-range 540° pan; 90°, 180°, or 270° tilt
• Move-In-Black: Enabled for seamless transitions between cues

Trait mapping is streamlined for fast programming via major consoles, with logical sequencing across pan/tilt, intensity, effects, color, and gobo layers. This allows consistent user experience for operators familiar with the Rogue platform.

Thermal Design, Build Materials & Deployment Integration

Built with die-cast aluminum, high-impact polymer, and steel, the Rogue R3E Spot is engineered for daily use in rugged touring and install environments. Despite its full feature set, it weighs only 34 lb (15.4 kg) and operates with impressively low idle noise at just 4.1 dB(A) at 1 meter. Even at full output, max noise is limited to 40.2 dB(A), making it suitable for quiet venues and camera use.

Power is handled via Seetronic Powerkon IP65 in/out connectors, and the fixture supports power linking for up to 9 units @ 240V. Data is managed through 3- and 5-pin XLR ports, and USB-C firmware access makes updating and servicing efficient in the field. The unit is CE, MET, FCC, and UKCA certified with an operational temperature range from -4°F to 113°F (-20°C to 45°C).

Integration into existing workflows is enhanced with a legacy R1X output mode, allowing output matching for hybrid rigs that include multiple Rogue fixture generations.

How to Deploy the Rogue R3E Spot in the Field

The Rogue R3E Spot is designed for rapid deployment in touring, rental, and fixed-rig environments. At just 34 lb, it offers a powerful feature set in a compact footprint, simplifying rigging for one-person setups or high-density arrays.

• Truss Mounting: Use the included dual 140D Omega brackets for secure clamp attachment to truss or pipe. Compatible with industry-standard clamps and safety cables.
• Upright Base Placement: The flat base and balanced center of gravity allow stable floor use for ground effects or low-angle beam setups.
• Power Linking: Seetronic Powerkon IP65 in/out connectors support linking of up to 9 units @ 240V, reducing cable runs in overhead installations.
• Data Integration: DMX input/output via 3- or 5-pin XLR. Use daisy-chain or loop-through wiring depending on console layout. RDM simplifies addressing from FOH or rack positions.
• Firmware & Service Access: USB-C port located on the housing enables on-site updates and profile loading.

Thanks to its quiet cooling system and modular I/O panel, the R3E Spot transitions smoothly from live stage use to camera-critical events and install venues—making it one of the most deployment-flexible moving heads in its class.
