Chauvet DJ COREpar UV 120 ILS: Compact 120W COB UV Wash with ILS & D-Fi USB
The Chauvet DJ COREpar UV 120 ILS is a compact, high-intensity ultraviolet wash powered by a single 120W COB LED (50,000-hour life). It’s built to flood stages, clubs, and themed events with rich UV while maintaining broadcast quality via high-frequency LED dimming for flicker-free video.
Integration with the ILS (Integrated Lighting System) ecosystem makes coordinated shows effortless, and D-Fi USB compatibility enables wireless DMX or Master/Slave when paired with a D-Fi USB dongle (sold separately). The included magnetic Fresnel lens swaps in seconds to tighten the beam from an ultra-wide wash to a more focused output.
A sit-flat housing hugs the floor with side-mounted power and 3-pin DMX I/O for tidy cabling, and the rugged enclosure is ready for life on the road. Save time on large rigs with power linking (5 units @ 120V / 9 @ 230V), and streamline grab-and-go gigs—the fixture fits best in the CHS-40 VIP Gear Bag.
- Real-World Applications and Lighting Roles:
- Immersive blacklight looks for concerts, DJs, and glow events

Where This System Excels
- Beam Flexibility: Magnetic Fresnel lens shifts coverage from 94°/44° (field/beam, no lens) to 34°/21° (with lens) in seconds.
- ILS Show Control: Plug-and-play synchronization with other ILS fixtures for unified, DMX-free programming.
- Wireless Ready: D-Fi USB compatibility for cable-free DMX or Master/Slave when paired with the dongle.
- Video-Friendly: High-frequency dimming ensures flicker-free operation for cameras and live streams.
- Road-Tough & Sit-Flat: Robust housing, side I/O, and floor-hugging profile simplify stage and floor deployments.
- Fast, Clean Rigs: Power link up to 5 @ 120V (or 9 @ 230V) to reduce cabling on multi-fixture UV arrays.
Control Modes for the Chauvet DJ COREpar UV 120 ILS
The COREpar UV 120 ILS offers multiple control options for maximum flexibility in different setups, from quick standalone use to fully synchronized DMX programming.
- 1-Channel DMX Mode: Simple control for basic dimming and blackout—ideal for quick integration into large lighting rigs.
- 5-Channel DMX Mode: Full-feature control including dimming, strobe, and effect parameters for precise show programming.
- ILS (Integrated Lighting System) Mode: Synchronize effortlessly with other ILS fixtures for coordinated, DMX-free light shows.
- D-Fi USB Wireless Control: Add the optional D-Fi USB to enable wireless DMX or Master/Slave operation, eliminating extra data cables.
- Standalone Modes: Access built-in automated and sound-activated programs without any external controller.
- Optional IRC-6 Remote: Point-and-shoot wireless control for color, strobe, and program selection from a distance.
High-Frequency LED Dimming in the Chauvet DJ COREpar UV 120 ILS
The COREpar UV 120 ILS uses high-frequency LED dimming to deliver flicker-free performance, making it ideal for video recording, live streaming, and broadcast environments. This ensures consistent, smooth fades across the entire dimming range without visible stepping or artifacts. The COB (Chip-on-Board) LED source provides uniform UV output with minimal hotspotting, creating an even wash across your stage, dance floor, or scenic elements.
Operators can fine-tune fade times, strobe rates (0–20 Hz), and intensity directly via DMX, ensuring precise control for theatrical, concert, or themed attraction use cases.
Wireless & ILS Show Control Integration
As part of the ILS (Integrated Lighting System) ecosystem, the COREpar UV 120 ILS can synchronize effortlessly with other ILS-enabled fixtures to create unified, dynamic light shows without advanced DMX programming knowledge. In ILS mode, the unit follows a master controller’s programming, allowing multiple fixture types—pars, washes, movers—to run in perfect harmony.
For wireless setups, the fixture is D-Fi USB compatible, enabling wireless DMX or Master/Slave control when paired with a D-Fi USB dongle (sold separately). This reduces cabling, speeds up setup, and keeps stage layouts clean while maintaining precise control over dimming, strobe, and effects.
How to Deploy the Chauvet DJ COREpar UV 120 ILS
The COREpar UV 120 ILS is designed for fast, flexible placement in both fixed installs and mobile event setups. Its compact sit-flat housing, magnetic lens, and side-mounted I/O make it easy to integrate into any lighting design.
- Floor-Level Wash: Place the sit-flat housing directly on the stage or floor to flood dance areas, scenic pieces, or props with UV from below.
- Truss or Pipe Mounting: Use standard clamps to mount the fixture on vertical or horizontal truss for overhead UV coverage.
- Beam Adjustment: Deploy without the magnetic Fresnel lens for ultra-wide (94°) coverage, or attach it for a more focused (34°) throw.
- Linked Arrays: Power link up to 5 units @ 120V (9 @ 230V) for long UV washes on stages, runways, or club walls.
- ILS Synchronization: Connect in ILS mode to coordinate output with other fixtures for cohesive visual effects without DMX programming.
- Wireless Setups: Add a D-Fi USB dongle for cable-free DMX control, keeping floor space clear and minimizing setup time.
