Complete ILS-Ready Wash Lighting in One All-In-One Bar System
The CHAUVET DJ 4BAR Quad ILS delivers wireless DMX control, brilliant quad-color output, and full ILS ecosystem integration in a single plug-and-play fixture. With four individually adjustable RGBW LED wash heads mounted to a compact crossbar, this all-in-one lighting system is ready to cover stages, walls, ceilings, and dancefloors in seconds. It’s prewired, preconfigured, and portable — designed for DJs and event techs who need fast setup and synchronized control without running cables or DMX snakes.
Each of the four fixtures outputs vibrant quad-color (RGBW) light with smooth fades, punchy strobe effects, and built-in auto programs. The bar includes a tripod stand and footswitch-compatible control modes for maximum versatility. Whether you're uplighting walls, spotlighting performers, or syncing multiple ILS fixtures, the 4BAR Quad ILS adapts instantly to your environment.
Compatibility with D-Fi USB, ILS Command, and RFC/RFC-XL remotes means you can go fully wireless with master/slave syncing, DMX control, or onboard programming. Add more ILS-enabled fixtures to build a complete show with coordinated fades, color changes, and strobes — no programming required.
With built-in ILS functionality, color-matched RGBW LEDs, and immediate plug-and-play deployment, the 4BAR Quad ILS is a go-to solution for mobile DJs, bands, event designers, and rental operators.

- Standalone: Choose from built-in color fades, strobes, or macros via onboard buttons or compatible remotes (RFC, RFC-XL).
On-Fixture Navigation: The integrated LED menu system gives access to all operational modes, DMX address settings, and ILS sync setup without a separate controller.
Optical Engine of the 4BAR Quad ILS
The 4BAR Quad ILS is a complete wash bar fitted with high-intensity, quad-color RGBA LEDs that deliver saturated reds, punchy greens, deep blues, and natural-looking ambers for warm color temperatures. The bar employs 28 total RGBA LEDs (3.5 W each) rated for a 50,000-hour life, giving mobile DJs and event techs tour-grade output in a compact footprint.
- LED Count & Power: 28 × RGBA LEDs at 3.5 W (1.3 A) each.
- Color Mix: Quad-color RGBA expands palettes and adds realistic ambers for skin tones and décor.
- Lifespan: 50,000 hours for long-term reliability and low service overhead.
Coverage Geometry & Head Positioning
Achieve total room or stage coverage using 4 individually adjustable pods to aim light precisely where you need it—dance floor, backdrop, or ceiling bounce. The factory optics pair a 14° beam with a 23° field to balance throw and edge softness.
- Beam / Field: 14° / 23° for focused yet musical washes.
- Illuminance: 2,353 lux @ 2 m per pod for confident room fill from a single bar.
- Strobe: Variable 0–20 Hz for rhythmic accents and transitions.
ILS Ecosystem Integration
The 4BAR Quad ILS is fully ILS-compatible, allowing it to participate in coordinated, multi-fixture light shows with other ILS units. That means synchronized looks across different fixture types—no complex programming required—ideal for fast setups and consistent show quality from one event to the next.
- Use Case: Trigger cohesive color changes, chases, and blackout across all ILS fixtures simultaneously.
- Control Mix: Combine ILS with footswitch or optional handheld control for agile, show-time tweaks.
Wireless Master/Slave & DMX via D-Fi™ USB
For wireless control workflows, the bar is D-Fi™ USB compatible (dongle sold separately). Drop a D-Fi USB in the port to unlock wireless Master/Slave and wireless DMX programming—great for clean stages and cable-reduced rigs.
- Operating Band (D-Fi): 2.412–2.484 GHz.
- Scenarios: Pair multiple 4BAR Quad ILS units or mix with other D-Fi-enabled fixtures for cable-free sync.
DMX Personalities & Connectors
Select the personality that matches your programming window. The 4-channel mode is perfect for quick color and dimmer control, 6-channel for moderate show shaping, and 19-channel when you need fine control of each function per pod.
- DMX Channels: 4 / 6 / 19 (3-pin XLR in/out).
- Programming Tip: Address bars in increments (e.g., +20) to simplify multi-unit patching.
Mounting & Rigging Architecture
Deploy quickly with the included tripod and carry bags, or secure the bar overhead using built-in truss bolts. The bar supports standard hardware with an M10 mounting hole (1.5 mm pitch), and fits common stands for mobile use.
- Fits Tripod: 1.5 in (36.80 mm); Stand Height: 7 ft 4 in (2.2 m).
- Bracket Mounting Hole: M10 (1.5 mm pitch).
- Truss: Safely mounts via built-in bolts to expand positioning options.
Power Architecture & Electrical Specs
The 4BAR Quad ILS runs worldwide with auto-ranging 100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz and maintains modest current draw for multi-fixture rigs on standard circuits.
- Power @ 120 V: 80 W, 1.2 A.
- Power @ 230 V: 78 W, 0.6 A.
- Approvals: CE, RoHS, UKCA.
Physical Design & Transport Readiness
Engineered for mobile deployment, the system is compact, light, and ships with everything required for fast strikes and tight schedules.
- Size (bar): 45.7 × 2 × 12 in (1186 × 50.8 × 305 mm).
- Weight (bar): 12.2 lb (5.5 kg).
- Included: 4BAR Quad ILS, wireless footswitch, tripod, tripod carry bag, bar carry bag, power cord, quick reference guide.
Practical Show Workflows (ILS vs. DMX)
Fast Setup: Use stand-alone or sound-active with the footswitch for weddings and corporate socials. ILS mode adds synchronized looks across mixed fixtures with minimal prep. For complex cues, select the 19-channel DMX personality and program scenes per zone.
- Color Strategy: Use amber-heavy mixes for warm atmospheres; pivot to saturated RGBA for dance-floor energy.
- Camera-Friendly: Favor RGBA washes (lower strobe duty cycle) during toasts and photo moments.
Wireless Footswitch Subsystem
The included footswitch streamlines hands-free operation for performers and single-op DJs.
- Frequency: 433 MHz; Range: up to 100 ft (30.5 m) unobstructed.
- Battery: 9 V; Controller Weight/Size: 1.2 lb (0.6 kg), 16.5 × 5.2 × 1.5 in (419 × 132 × 38 mm).
- Use: Trigger programs, blackout, or scene changes without leaving the booth.
How to Deploy in the Field
The 4BAR Quad ILS is built for speed, mobility, and consistency in tight load-in situations. Here's how to get the most out of it in live environments:
- Tripod Setup: Mounts directly to the included tripod stand for stable elevation and quick adjustments. Ideal for stage backline, uplight coverage, or overhead washes.
- Truss Mounting: The main bar can be removed from the tripod and clamped to trussing using standard O-clamps for permanent or elevated installs.
- Floor Deployment: Set the tripod low to the ground for floor uplighting, DJ booth facades, or wall washing in compact venues.
- Multiple Unit Linking: Use Master/Slave or ILS mode to connect multiple 4BAR systems wirelessly for symmetrical stage coverage.
- Outdoor & Tent Use: While not IP-rated, the compact form factor and wireless DMX make it perfect for tent ceilings and dry outdoor event installs where fast teardown is key.
Power Tip: Plug a D-Fi USB dongle into each fixture for a clean wireless rig with zero DMX cables — ideal for fast-turn wedding setups or multi-system rentals.
