Chauvet DJ Freedom Par H9 IP: Compact TRUE-Wireless RGBAW+UV Uplight for Mobile DJs & Temporary Outdoor Events
Go cable-free, rain or shine: Freedom Par H9 IP is a 100% TRUE wireless, battery-operated hex uplight with a built-in D-Fi transceiver for wireless DMX and a built-in RF receiver for handheld control (RFC / RFC-XL). Its IP54 housing is built for temporary outdoor use, so you can light ceremonies, patios, and tented spaces without running power or data.
Clean color, smarter optics: A 9 × 10 W RGBAW+UV engine (50,000 hr) feeds new secondary optics that blend color with near-zero artifacts. Native optics deliver a 23° beam / 46° field, while the magnetic diffuser widens to 40° / 79° for softer wall washes. Output specs include 1,258 lm and 1,249 lux @ 2 m (native), plus 432 lux @ 2 m with the diffuser; strobe runs 1–25 Hz.
Runtime planning made simple: Choose 3 / 5 / 8 / 12-hour profiles from the full-text OLED menu to match your show. Batteries recharge in about 3 hours and are protected by onboard charge/discharge circuitry. A spring-loaded kickstand sets projection angle fast, and a built-in glare shield controls spill and eye fatigue. Compact dimensions (4.7 × 4.7 × 4.9 in; 4.6 lb) let the unit fit inside TRUSST® sticks for discreet installs.
- Real-World Applications & Lighting Roles:
- Wedding and corporate perimeter uplighting (indoor or temporary outdoor)

Interface, form factor, and environmental data are manufacturer-sourced to ensure dependable field operation.
How to Deploy the Freedom Par H9 IP in the Field
- Pre-show charging & profiling: Top off units (~3-hour recharge) and select 3/5/8/12-hour runtime profiles in the OLED to match the event schedule.
- Wireless layout: Keep D-Fi paths as unobstructed as possible to approach the stated 600 ft range. Stage RFC/RFC-XL handhelds for quick looks.
- Optics & coverage: Use the magnetic diffuser (40°/79°) for broad, soft perimeter washes; remove it for tighter columns (23°/46°).
- Aiming & comfort: Set the kickstand for a consistent projection line and use the glare shield to minimize spill near seating, bars, and cameras.
- Outdoor considerations: Rated IP54 for temporary outdoor use; respect startup 4°F–113°F and operating -22°F–113°F ranges.
- Power logistics: Budget for 50 W per fixture when using external power; the PSU is 24 VDC. Keep charging rotation aligned with the event timeline.
- Mounting & rigging: For installs, use the M12 bracket mounting hole; for truss warming, the compact body fits inside TRUSST® to stay discreet.
These deployment steps mirror manufacturer capabilities so crews get repeatable, camera-clean results indoors or outdoors.
