CHAUVET DJ Swarm Wash FX ILS Overview
Lighting designers and mobile entertainers looking to thrill their audience should check out the CHAUVET DJ Swarm Wash FX ILS, a multi-effects light that combines an RGBAW (red, green, blue, amber, and white) LED rotating derby effect with an RGB+UV (red, green, blue + ultraviolet) LED wash light, green/red laser diodes, and a white SMD LED strobe, in a single compact fixture. The Integrated Lighting System (ILS) is a complete lighting ecosystem technology that provides an advanced, coordinated light show across multiple fixture types, allowing any ILS-enabled fixer to be controlled wired or wirelessly.
The effects can be coordinated to create instant light shows with countless multicolor LED beams, UV-infused color washes, eye-catching strobe effects and chases, and hundreds of red and green beams that can both rotate and strobe. The fixture provides wide coverage angles of 82° for the laser, 65° for the derby, 71° for the strobe, and 46° for the washes—suitable for blanketing a stage or dancefloor. The Swarm Wash FX ILS allows for both standalone and DMX operation. For use without a DMX controller, you can choose between sound-active or automatic modes. The Master/Slave option lets you coordinate multiple fixtures without the need for a controller. The fixture is equipped with a universal, autosensing power supply and is compatible with the IRC-6 wireless remote (available separately).
Note: This is a Class 3B and Class 3R laser product. Avoid direct eye exposure.
