Chauvet DJ EZLink Par Q4BT ILS: 100% TRUE Wireless RGBA Uplight with Bluetooth & ILS Sync
EZLink Par Q4BT ILS is a battery-operated, quad-color (RGBA) LED par designed for fast, cable-free deployment. Built-in Bluetooth® lets you control the fixture directly from a smartphone or tablet with no additional hardware, while ILS compatibility ties it into coordinated light shows across an unlimited number of different fixture types.
The RGBA engine (4 × 6 W LEDs) delivers a broad, punchy color palette with amber for natural-looking color temperatures. A 15° beam and 34° field provide focused uplighting or tight washes, and you can trigger eye-catching looks instantly with sound-activated and automated programs (plus a 0–20 Hz strobe).
Control is flexible: go app-based over Bluetooth, use the IRC-6 handheld for convenient non-DMX control, or add a D-Fi™ USB (sold separately) for wireless master/slave or wireless DMX with 4- or 8-channel profiles via 3-pin XLR. Operation is on 2.4 GHz with a maximum unobstructed distance of 150 ft (45.7 m).
For mobile workflows, the internal battery delivers up to 8 hours (all on) or up to 20 hours (single color) with a fast 4-hour recharge. The compact housing (3.16 lb; 5.7 × 5.7 × 7.2 in) packs easily and fits the CHS-40 VIP Gear Bag. Bracket mounting uses an M12 hole.

RGBA LED Engine & Optics of the EZLink Par Q4BT ILS
The fixture’s quad-color engine uses 4 × 6 W RGBA LEDs to generate a broad spectrum, with amber specifically enhancing warm whites and natural skin tones. A 15° beam with a 34° field delivers focused uplights and tight washes that read cleanly in photographs and video. At 2 meters, the unit produces 1829 lux, giving mobile DJs and event techs reliable punch from a compact footprint.
For dynamic looks, the strobe runs from 0–20 Hz. The long-life diodes are rated at 50,000 hours, supporting years of rental and production use with minimal maintenance.
Wireless Control: Bluetooth®, ILS & D-Fi USB Workflows
Built-in Bluetooth® (v4.2) enables direct control from a smartphone or tablet—no extra hardware required. The fixture is ILS-compatible, so it can participate in coordinated shows alongside other ILS-enabled models. For wireless DMX or master/slave linking, add a D-Fi™ USB (sold separately). Non-DMX convenience control is available via the IRC-6 handheld, and compatibility with BTAir is provided under optional controllers.
