Complete Wireless Wash Power with CHAUVET DJ 4BAR Flex Q ILS
For mobile DJs, live performers, and event designers, the CHAUVET DJ 4BAR Flex Q ILS delivers all-in-one stage wash power in a streamlined portable format. Each of its four heads houses 7 quad-color RGBA LEDs, offering rich color mixing and warm amber blending ideal for uplighting, wall washing, or dancefloor applications. The integrated ILS (Integrated Lighting System) makes it easy to coordinate scenes across multiple CHAUVET fixtures with no DMX programming, while built-in D-Fi USB compatibility enables wireless Master/Slave or DMX control.
Each pod is fully positionable to provide custom stage coverage, and the entire system mounts directly to the included tripod or clamps to truss via M10 threaded insert. Control options include an onboard digital interface, an included wireless footswitch, or remote triggers from optional IRC-6 or D-Fi accessories. With setup time under five minutes and a padded carry bag included, the 4BAR Flex Q ILS is purpose-built for high-output performance with zero clutter.
