Chauvet, a developer of luminaires, trussing, controllers, atmospherics, and related lighting equipment based in Florida, USA announced the acquisition of LiteGear, a company known for manufacturing LED lighting solutions for the film and television industry. If you are not familiar with Chauvet, it might be that you heard about Kino Flo, a company that specializes in producing soft Fluorescent tube lighting solutions that were also acquired by Chauvet during the summer of 2021.

It seems as if the competition in the field of lighting solutions for cinema and TV is getting tougher and as a result, acquisitions are a thing that we should expect to see more often. This time, it is Chauvet who has now announced a “strategic acquisition” of LiteGear. According to the company, with this acquisition, Chauvet is forming its own Cinema Group (CCG), starting with the Kino Flo and LiteGear brands with plans for further expansion by including more brands.

The new division will focus on expanding into the cinematic lighting markets, and as our industry is facing a challenging time, it will be interesting to follow and see what role the new group plays.
