Chauvet DJ Swarm Wash FX ILS – 4-in-1 Multi-Effect with ILS Sync
The Chauvet DJ Swarm Wash FX ILS fuses four dynamic lighting effects into a single high-performance unit, making it a powerhouse solution for DJs, mobile entertainers, and venues that want to make a visual impact without complex setups. Combining a rotating RGBAW derby, red/green lasers, a quad-color LED wash, and white strobe rings, this compact fixture creates immersive, room-filling light shows right out of the box.
All-in-One Power with Integrated Lighting System Control
What sets this fixture apart is its compatibility with Chauvet's Integrated Lighting System (ILS). Once linked with ILS-enabled gear like the GigBAR Move + ILS or Obey 6 controller, your Swarm Wash FX ILS becomes part of a cohesive, synchronized light show—no DMX programming needed.
Flexible Operation with Wireless and Standalone Options
This versatile effect fixture features D-Fi USB compatibility (dongle sold separately) for wireless DMX control and includes multiple operating modes such as DMX, sound-active, automatic, and master/slave. For remote access, the IRC-6 provides easy manual control. Whether you're programming detailed scenes or running plug-and-play shows, the Swarm Wash FX ILS adapts to your workflow.
Visual Impact, Compact Footprint
Despite its small size, the Swarm Wash FX ILS delivers massive output. With separate control over each effect type—wash, derby, laser, and strobe—lighting designers and mobile DJs can craft layered, professional-grade looks in moments. The compact, lightweight design makes it ideal for mounting in truss, placing on stages, or using in tight spaces.
