COLORband T3BT ILS adds a compact powerhouse to the ILS lineup with full-width RGB LED coverage, mobile-friendly Bluetooth® control, and rich tri-zone pixel mapping—ideal for DJs, event pros, and uplighting specialists who need versatility in a space-efficient form factor. This strip light offers three independently controlled LED zones, allowing for sweeping color effects and subtle animated chases that punch far above its size.

Thanks to built-in Bluetooth® wireless technology, you can pair the COLORband T3BT ILS with a smartphone or tablet for immediate control—no extra hardware required.

Its fan-free, convection-cooled operation ensures silent performance for on-camera or audio-sensitive environments. Power linking reduces clutter, while compatibility with the CHS-60 VIP Gear Bag makes this an ultra-portable choice for mobile pros.

Wireless & Pixel Control Tech Inside the COLORband T3BT ILS

Smart control meets creative precision. The COLORband T3BT ILS delivers versatile connectivity and pixel-mapping functionality in a single streamlined bar light. Thanks to its hybrid feature set, DJs and lighting techs can deploy professional-grade shows without external hardware.

Bluetooth® Wireless Control

With native Bluetooth® 4.2 compatibility, the T3BT ILS allows direct control from iOS or Android devices using the free BTAir app. This means full-color programming, dimming, strobing, and auto program access from your smartphone—no dongles, routers, or controllers required.

Integrated Lighting System (ILS)

This fixture is fully ILS-compatible, allowing synchronized, multi-fixture shows when linked with other ILS-ready lights—no DMX needed. Combine with Intimidators, COLORbands, and derbies for seamless club-style lighting rigs or mobile DJ setups.

Pixel Control Across 3 Zones

Each T3BT ILS features 3 distinct control zones, enabling chases, fades, and dynamic visual effects across the strip. These zones are addressable via DMX or integrated effects, and add a higher level of showmanship than single-color wash bars.

D-Fi USB Ready (Optional)

For wireless DMX or Master/Slave linking, the T3BT ILS supports Chauvet’s D-Fi USB protocol. Simply insert a D-Fi USB dongle (sold separately) and enjoy cable-free syncing across your light show.

These advanced wireless and pixel features position the COLORband T3BT ILS as a future-proof solution for DJs, rental houses, and production teams alike.
