Product Overview – Chauvet DJ COREpar Q120 ILS RGBW COB LED Wash
The Chauvet DJ COREpar Q120 ILS is a professional-grade 120-watt RGBW COB (Chip-on-Board) wash light that delivers a stunning full spectrum of color with exceptional uniformity and blending. Designed for touring professionals, DJs, and production houses, it features a robust housing built to handle the rigors of frequent transport and setup. The unique sit-flat housing design places power and DMX outlets on the side of the unit, allowing clean floor placement for uplighting or wall washing without cable clutter.
As part of the ILS (Integrated Lighting System) ecosystem, the COREpar Q120 ILS can synchronize seamlessly with other ILS-compatible fixtures for complex, coordinated shows without complicated programming. For wireless operation, simply add a D-Fi USB dongle to enable Master/Slave or DMX control without running data cables. The included magnetic Fresnel lens makes it easy to switch from ultra-wide coverage to a tighter beam in seconds, providing unmatched flexibility for any event space or stage design.
High-frequency LED dimming ensures flicker-free performance for live broadcasts or video recording, and built-in dimming curves let you tailor fade behavior to match tungsten, halogen, or custom response. Color temperature can be fine-tuned from 2700 K to 6000 K, making it equally at home in warm theatrical environments or crisp, modern stage designs.
Real-World Applications and Lighting Roles:
- Dynamic stage wash lighting for concerts and theater.
- Mobile DJ uplighting and color wash for events.
- Architectural lighting for venues and exhibits.
- Television or streaming environments needing flicker-free performance.
- Coordinated light shows using ILS-compatible fixtures.

Digital Signal Processing in the Chauvet DJ COREpar Q120 ILS
The COREpar Q120 ILS is engineered with advanced high-frequency LED dimming to ensure completely flicker-free output for live video, streaming, and broadcast environments. This allows for clean camera captures without banding or light pulsing artifacts. The fixture includes multiple dimming curves that simulate incandescent, halogen, or custom fade behaviors, giving lighting designers fine control over the aesthetic of each fade. Built-in strobe effects range from subtle shimmer to high-energy bursts up to 29 Hz, with smooth transitions between static colors, fades, and color scrolls. Precision DMX mapping ensures consistent color reproduction across multiple units, whether controlled via ILS, wired DMX, or wireless D-Fi USB.
Optics & Beam Control of the Chauvet DJ COREpar Q120 ILS
At the heart of the COREpar Q120 ILS is a COB (Chip-on-Board) quad-color RGBW LED delivering exceptional uniformity and color blending. The included magnetic Fresnel lens allows quick, tool-free changes between a wide, soft wash and a tighter, more focused beam. Without the lens, the fixture offers a 56° beam and 100° field angle for broad coverage—perfect for uplighting, wall washing, or filling large areas with color. With the lens attached, the beam narrows to 20° with a 30° field angle, increasing intensity and throw distance. This versatility allows a single fixture to perform multiple lighting roles, reducing the need for additional equipment while maintaining design flexibility.
How to Deploy the Chauvet DJ COREpar Q120 ILS
The COREpar Q120 ILS is designed for rapid, flexible deployment in a variety of environments, from mobile DJ events to permanent installations. Its sit-flat housing makes it perfect for clean, low-profile floor placement without visible cabling, thanks to side-mounted power and DMX ports. This is ideal for uplighting walls, drapery, or stage backdrops.
- Floor Placement: Position directly on the ground for uplighting, using the adjustable dual-bracket to set the desired angle.
- Truss Mounting: Secure the fixture to overhead truss or lighting stands using standard clamps for overhead wash or downlighting applications.
- Wall Washing: Remove the Fresnel lens for maximum beam spread and coverage across large surfaces.
- Focused Lighting: Attach the magnetic Fresnel lens to concentrate output for feature highlighting or mid-throw applications.
- Power Linking: Connect up to 6 units @ 120 V (10 @ 230 V) for reduced cabling and faster setup in multi-fixture rigs.
- Wireless Control: Pair with a D-Fi USB dongle to eliminate DMX cables and operate via wireless DMX or ILS synchronization.
