Chauvet DJ COLORband Pix ILS – ILS-Ready LED Strip Light

Full-Strip Color Control with Pixel Precision and ILS Sync

COLORband PiX ILS from CHAUVET DJ is a full-size RGB LED strip that brings pixel-mapped power, stunning color gradients, and full compatibility with the ILS ecosystem. Whether used as a sweeping chase light, an eye-catching blinder, or a wide-throw wall washer, it delivers the kind of multi-purpose output needed by mobile DJs, small stages, or event uplighting crews. The long linear format allows placement on truss, walls, stage edges, or as a floor-based wash unit—giving you total creative flexibility with every pixel individually controllable.

Designed for wireless workflows and streamlined sync across fixtures, the COLORband PiX ILS supports CHAUVET’s Integrated Lighting System, allowing it to coordinate easily with other ILS-enabled lights for spectacular show-wide cohesion. Onboard control includes 3-pin and 5-pin DMX I/O, plus a built-in RF receiver for wireless triggering via RFC or RFC-XL remotes. For full wireless operation, just add a D-Fi USB 2 module and cut the cables entirely—perfect for fast setup or DMX-free zones.

Silent, flicker-free, and camera-ready, the fixture contains no moving parts—making it ideal for corporate installs, studio applications, and discreet theater setups. Built-in auto programs, multiple DMX personality modes, and support for ShowXpress Pixels deliver both plug-and-play simplicity and deep customization potential. The 12 RGB LEDs allow for dramatic sweep effects with natural fades and smooth animation curves when mapped individually.

Real-World Applications and Sound Roles:

• Mobile DJ blinder and chase effect that travels light and sets up fast
• Wall wash for galleries, lounges, or uplight events using no moving parts
• Pixel chase bar in synchronized ILS shows or as a DMX strip mapped in video
