GigBAR Flex: 3-in-1 Pack-n-Go Lighting for DJs, Weddings & Events

All-in-one coverage, minimal setup. GigBAR Flex combines LED Derbys, RGB+UV quad-color pars, and a white+UV strobe on a single, portable bar. Four individually adjustable heads widen room wash and dance-floor energy, while the pass-through mounting hole and adjustable leg brackets give you flexible placement on stage or speaker stands.

Instant control your way. Run stand-alone shows (auto or sound-activated), choose DMX personalities (3/8/20 ch), or go cable-free with the included wireless footswitch and IRC-6 remote. Built-in UV (blacklight) extends color palettes and makes neons pop, and master/slave linking lets multiple bars sync for larger rooms—perfect for mobile DJs and quick-turn venues.

How to Deploy in the Field

  1. Position & Mount: Choose a stable stage or speaker stand. Use the pass-through mounting hole to secure the bar; tighten hardware. Adjust leg brackets for balance.
  2. Aim the Heads: Pan the derbys wide for room movement; angle the pars toward the dance floor; set the strobe zones to accent peaks without blinding the crowd.
  3. Power & Link: Connect AC (100–240 VAC). If running multiple units on one circuit, observe power-link limits (12 @ 120 V / 22 @ 230 V).
  4. Choose Control:
    • Fast Setup: Select Auto or Sound stand-alone programs on the LCD menu.
    • Wireless: Pair the footswitch (433 MHz) and verify range; keep the IRC-6 handy for quick looks.
    • DMX: Set 3/8/20-ch mode; patch in your console via 3-pin XLR.
    • Master/Slave: Set one bar to Master, others to Slave for synchronized shows.
  5. Soundcheck: Trigger strobe at show levels, confirm pars deliver even wash, and check derby sweep across the room. Adjust head angles as needed.
  6. Showtime Tips: Use UV to energize white attire and décor; ride strobe under 18 Hz within program context; vary derby speed for chorus vs. breakdown.

Quick Checklist

  • Bar secured on stand; heads aimed; cables strain-relieved.
  • Control mode selected (Auto/Sound/DMX/Wireless); footswitch/IRC-6 tested.
  • If linking power, totals within 12 @ 120 V or 22 @ 230 V guidelines.
