Chauvet DJ COREpar Q60 ILS: Compact 60W RGBW COB Wash with ILS & D-Fi USB
The Chauvet DJ COREpar Q60 ILS is a compact, 60-watt RGBW COB wash designed for mobile DJs, stages, and event pros who need rich color mixing in a road-ready package. Its COB (Chip-on-Board) engine delivers a smooth, uniform field with unsurpassed color blending, while the included magnetic Fresnel lens lets you pivot from ultra-wide coverage to a tighter, more focused beam in seconds.
As part of the ILS (Integrated Lighting System) ecosystem, COREpar Q60 ILS syncs effortlessly with other ILS fixtures for coordinated shows without complex programming. Add an optional D-Fi USB dongle for wireless DMX or Master/Slave, and keep rigs clean with sit-flat housing and side-mounted power/DMX I/O. High-frequency LED dimming ensures flicker-free camera performance, and built-in dimming curves give designers precise control over fade behavior for polished results.
- Real-World Applications and Lighting Roles:
- Mobile DJ uplighting and dance-floor washes
- Stage/front-fill or scenic wall washing in small venues
- Corporate/brand events needing clean, color-accurate looks
- Video/streaming setups requiring flicker-free output
- Coordinated ILS shows mixing pars, bars, and effects

- ILS Mode: Sync effortlessly with other fixtures in the Integrated Lighting System for fully coordinated light shows without the need for custom DMX programming.
- Wireless DMX: Add an optional D-Fi USB dongle for cable-free Master/Slave or DMX control, reducing setup time and clutter.
- Standalone Operation: Use the onboard LED display and menu buttons to select static colors, automated programs, fades, and strobes directly from the fixture.
- Master/Slave Mode: Link multiple COREpar Q60 ILS units together for synchronized operation without a controller.
- IRC-6 Remote: Optional handheld remote provides instant access to colors, programs, fades, and blackout for on-the-fly adjustments.
Digital Signal Processing in the Chauvet DJ COREpar Q60 ILS
The COREpar Q60 ILS employs high-frequency LED dimming to deliver flicker-free output for cameras and live streaming, while maintaining smooth fades for stage use. Built-in dimming curves shape the fixture’s response so designers can match tungsten-style fades or choose tighter, modern transitions to suit the show. The fixture’s RGBW COB engine supports precise intensity control and strobe from 0–29 Hz, enabling subtle shimmer to high-energy, rhythmic effects. Whether controlled via 4-ch or 9-ch DMX, ILS, or wireless D-Fi USB, the DSP ensures uniform color and consistent fade behavior across linked units.
Onboard menu access lets you dial in custom looks without a console—select static colors, automated fades, and strobes, then refine results with the curve you prefer. In multi-fixture rigs, the DSP’s stable PWM frequency keeps fades synchronized and artifact-free, preserving clean looks on both stage and video.
Optical & Lens System of the Chauvet DJ COREpar Q60 ILS
At the core of the Q60 ILS is a 60-watt RGBW COB (Chip-on-Board) LED that produces a uniform field with unsurpassed color mixing. For maximum coverage, run the unit without the magnetic Fresnel lens to achieve a 74° beam and 100° field—ideal for wide wall washes and uplighting. Snap on the included magnetic Fresnel lens in seconds to focus output to a 20° beam and 30° field, boosting intensity and throw for feature highlighting or tighter stage looks.
This quick-change optical system minimizes rehangs: one fixture can handle both broad architectural washes and focused accents. The COB package reduces multi-shadow artifacts common in multi-LED arrays, maintaining a smooth edge and clean gradients across scenic surfaces and backdrops.
How to Deploy the Chauvet DJ COREpar Q60 ILS
The COREpar Q60 ILS is built for fast, flexible placement in mobile and installed rigs. Its sit-flat housing keeps power and 3-pin DMX on the side for clean floor setups, while the dual-bracket and 13 mm mounting hole support standard clamps for truss or pipe.
- Floor Uplighting: Place the sit-flat unit at the base of walls, drape, or scenic elements. Aim with the dual-bracket for even coverage and use the no-lens mode for ultra-wide washes.
- Truss / Pipe Mounting: Clamp to vertical or horizontal truss for downlight or backlight looks. Route the included 5 ft (1.5 m) power lead along the bracket for tidy cable runs.
- Beam Choices On-Site: Run without lens for a broad 74° beam / 100° field. Snap on the magnetic Fresnel lens to tighten to 20° / 30° when you need more punch or throw.
- Linked Arrays: Power link up to 9 units @ 120 V (or 17 @ 230 V) to speed deployment on long walls, runways, or stage perimeters.
- Wireless & ILS Workflow: Add a D-Fi USB dongle for cable-free DMX or Master/Slave. Use ILS mode to synchronize with other ILS fixtures for coordinated chases and fades without manual programming.
- Video-Ready Looks: Enable high-frequency dimming for flicker-free camera shots; select a dimming curve (e.g., tungsten) to match other sources and achieve smooth, natural fades.
- Quick Presets: Use the onboard LED menu for static colors and automated programs when no console is present; refine intensity and strobe (0–29 Hz) to suit the room.
Tip: Start wide (no lens) for room wash during walk-in, then snap on the Fresnel lens for showtime focus—no rehang required.
