ROAD CASE FOR 4‑UNIT CHAUVET OVATION CYC 3 FC LED LIGHT BAR

Designed for the CHAUVET Ovation CYC 3 FC and Similar Long LED Light Bars

This road case is built specifically for the CHAUVET Ovation CYC 3 FC, a long and heavy cyclorama wash fixture that often doubles as a footlight or LED light bar in stage lighting setups. These fixtures are known for their length, weight, and the slightly awkward shape that makes them less than fun to carry without proper support. This case holds four of them securely, giving touring crews a reliable way to transport and protect their gear.

Although tailored to the CYC 3 FC, the internal layout can also accommodate similar long LED light bars from other brands. Fixtures with comparable dimensions and mounting styles usually fit with only minor adjustments. Touring setups are rarely uniform, and this case is designed with that flexibility in mind.

Durable Materials and a Manufacturing Process Focused on Precision

The case is constructed from 9mm WBP birch veneer laminated plywood, chosen for its ability to handle the temperature swings, humidity changes, and general wear that come with touring. The birch veneers are bonded with phenolic resin glue, giving the panels strength and stability without unnecessary weight. Paired with 2mm heavy‑duty corner and edge extrusions and Penn Elcom hardware, the case feels solid and dependable from the moment you pick it up.

Every panel, divider, and foam insert is precision‑cut using CNC machinery. This ensures that everything fits together cleanly and consistently, from the accessory basket to the fixture compartments. Once the parts are cut, our experienced assembly team takes over. They follow a standard QC process that checks alignment, hardware installation, foam fit, and overall finish. The process is consistent across our product line, but each case still gets individual attention to ensure it performs the way it should.

Functional Features That Make Touring Life Easier

The hinged top lid is one of the first things you’ll notice. It opens smoothly and gives full access to the interior without needing to remove or store a separate lid. Inside, a solid plywood accessory basket sits above the fixtures. It provides room for cables, clamps, and other essentials, while also helping secure the lights in place during transport. Divider slots let you customize the basket layout, and handle‑cut holes on the sides make lifting it easy.

The fixture compartments are lined with thick foam to keep the lights cushioned and stable. The gaps between the fixtures are intentionally widened, making it easier to grab each unit without squeezing your fingers into tight spaces. It’s a small detail, but one that crews appreciate during fast load‑ins and load‑outs.

Mobility is handled by solid wheels and well‑placed recessed handles, making the case surprisingly easy to move despite the weight of the fixtures inside. The low‑profile design keeps the center of gravity down, which helps when rolling across uneven surfaces or up ramps. The dimensions are truck‑friendly, so it stacks neatly with other cases in a standard touring pack.

Altogether, this case is built for the realities of concert touring, live events, and stage lighting work. It protects the fixtures, speeds up load‑ins, and keeps everything organized, all while holding up to the demands of the road.
