Chauvet DJ Freedom Flex H9 IP X6: TRUE Wireless Hex Uplight System for Mobile DJs & Events
Complete 6-light package: Freedom Flex H9 IP X6 delivers six 100% TRUE wireless, battery-operated RGBAW+UV uplights with built-in D-Fi transceivers, swappable battery packs, and an X6 charging road case that simultaneously charges up to six batteries. Each fixture adds a built-in RF receiver for control via the included RFC (RFC-XL optional), while full-text OLED displays streamline setup on site.
Optics & output engineered for clean color: Nine 10 W hex LEDs per fixture produce 2,028 lumens with 1,403 lux @ 2 m and a 28° beam / 60° field. New secondary optics deliver near-artifact-free color blending, and the magnetic diffuser widens coverage to 45° beam / 85° field when needed. A built-in glare shield reduces spill and eye fatigue; the spring-loaded kickstand dials in projection angle fast.
Wireless range, runtime, and weather readiness: D-Fi operates at 2.412–2.484 GHz with up to 600 ft (183 m) unobstructed control. Select adjustable run times of 3, 5, 8, or 12 hours to match your event. The IP54 housing is built for temporary outdoor use, and onboard charge/discharge protection safeguards the power system. Batteries recharge in 3 hours in the case; optional FlareCON expands control workflows.

LED Color Engine & Secondary Optics of the Freedom Flex H9 IP X6
Hex-color output that reads clean on camera and in person: Each Freedom Flex H9 IP fixture uses 9 × 10 W RGBAW+UV LEDs (50,000 hr life) to deliver punchy uplight with refined blending from its new secondary optics. A built-in glare shield controls spill and reduces eye fatigue in tight rooms.
- Photometrics: 2,028 lm; 1,403 lux @ 2 m (native optics)
- Beam / Field: 28° / 60° native; with magnetic diffuser 45° / 85°
- With Diffuser Photometrics: 602 lux @ 2 m
- Strobe: 1–25 Hz for rhythmic accents without external processors
Coverage your way: Snap on the magnetic diffuser when you need broader, softer wall washes; remove it for tighter, more saturated uplight columns. The spring-loaded kickstand trims projection angle fast for consistent looks down a perimeter line.
All optical and output figures are manufacturer-verified for the Freedom Flex H9 IP system.
Wireless Control Architecture — D-Fi, RF & FlareCON Workflows
Integrated 2.4 GHz D-Fi: Each fixture includes a built-in D-Fi transceiver operating at 2.412–2.484 GHz for cable-free DMX networking with up to 600 ft (183 m) unobstructed control. Choose 6 / 8 / 16-channel profiles to match your show’s complexity.
RF convenience out of the case: A built-in RF receiver pairs with the included RFC handheld for quick color changes and looks; RFC-XL is supported for extended handheld control. FlareCON (optional) can be added to expand control workflows alongside D-Fi and RF.
Show-time clarity: The fixtures’ full-text OLED menus speed pairing, addressing, and profile selection, minimizing setup time when you’re scaling to multiple rooms.
Range and frequency specs reflect manufacturer data; plan line-of-sight paths for mission-critical cues.

How to Deploy the Freedom Flex H9 IP X6 in the Field
- Pre-Show Power Plan: Charge all six batteries in the X6 case (3-hour cycle) and select an appropriate 3/5/8/12-hour run-time profile before doors.
- Wireless Layout: Maintain unobstructed paths for D-Fi to maximize the stated 600 ft range; keep the RF handheld accessible for quick looks.
- Optics & Coverage: Use the magnetic diffuser for wide wall washes (45°/85°), remove it for narrow columns (28°/60°). Employ the glare shield to control spill near seating and camera lines.
- Aiming & Angles: Set projection with the spring-loaded kickstand for consistent height and spread along the perimeter.
- Temporary Outdoor Use: The fixtures are IP54 for temporary outdoor applications; respect startup (-4°F to 113°F) and operating (-22°F to 113°F) temperature ranges.
- Charging Logistics: Allocate a circuit that supports the case’s 377 W @ 120 V (or 365 W @ 230 V) draw during turnaround.
- Mounting Options: For alternative placements, the fixture’s M12 bracket mounting hole supports hardware-based installs as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these fixtures truly wireless, and how do I control them?
Yes. Each Freedom Flex H9 IP is 100% battery-operated with built-in D-Fi (2.412–2.484 GHz) and a built-in RF receiver. An RFC handheld remote is included, RFC-XL is optional, and you can add FlareCON for expanded workflows.
How long will they run on a charge?
You can select 3, 5, 8, or 12-hour run-time profiles from the OLED menu. Actual endurance depends on colors and intensity, but these profiles help you hit your event window reliably.
What does the charging road case power and how fast does it charge?
The case simultaneously charges up to six swappable batteries—not the fixtures themselves—on a ~3-hour cycle. Plan for about 377 W @ 120 V (or 365 W @ 230 V) when charging.
Is the Freedom Flex H9 IP suitable for outdoor use?
Yes—its housing is rated IP54 for temporary outdoor applications. Respect the specified temperature ranges: Startup -4°F to 113°F and Operating -22°F to 113°F.
What are my DMX options and wireless range?
Choose 6, 8, or 16-channel DMX modes. D-Fi provides up to 600 ft (183 m) unobstructed wireless control. For best results, maintain line-of-sight paths in busy RF environments.
When should I use the magnetic diffuser and glare shield?
Use the magnetic diffuser for wide, soft coverage (~45° beam / 85° field). Run native optics for tighter uplight columns (~28° beam / 60° field). The built-in glare shield limits spill and reduces eye fatigue near seating and cameras.
What’s included in the Freedom Flex H9 IP X6 package?
6 fixtures, 6 batteries, 6 magnetic diffusers, the charging road case, an RFC remote, a power cord, and a Quick Reference Guide.
Choose the Freedom Flex H9 IP X6 from AVMaxx when you need a road-ready, TRUE wireless uplight system with rapid battery turnover, clean color blending, and dependable control—indoors or out.
