Chauvet DJ COLORband Q3BT ILS LED Wash Light
The Chauvet DJ COLORband Q3BT ILS is a full-size RGBA LED linear wash light featuring built-in Bluetooth control, ILS compatibility and three independently controllable zones. Twelve 4W quad-colour LEDs deliver vibrant washes and automated effects, while D-Fi USB compatibility, DMX, power linking and optional IRC-6 control provide flexible setup options.
Chauvet DJ COLORband Q3BT ILS – RGBA Linear Wash Light with Bluetooth & ILS
The Chauvet DJ COLORband Q3BT ILS is a powerful full-size linear wash light designed for DJs, mobile entertainers, venues, bands and event production setups requiring vibrant colour, flexible control and straightforward installation.
Featuring 12 quad-colour RGBA LEDs, the COLORband Q3BT ILS produces rich colour washes across stages, dancefloors, walls and backdrops. The addition of amber to the traditional RGB colour mix helps create warmer tones and a broader range of colours, making the fixture equally suitable for atmospheric uplighting, stage washes and energetic automated effects.
Built-in Bluetooth wireless technology allows the fixture to be controlled directly from a compatible smartphone or tablet without requiring additional hardware. This provides a convenient way to access colours, effects and fixture controls when a full DMX setup isn't required.
The COLORband Q3BT ILS is also compatible with the Chauvet DJ Integrated Lighting System (ILS), allowing it to become part of a coordinated ILS lighting setup. This makes it particularly useful for DJs and entertainers wanting synchronised lighting without complex DMX programming.
Three independently controllable zones provide additional creative possibilities, allowing different sections of the fixture to produce coordinated chases, colour combinations and automated effects.
For more traditional lighting control, the COLORband Q3BT ILS supports 4, 6 or 16-channel DMX operation using standard 3-pin XLR connections. It is also D-Fi USB compatible, allowing optional wireless master/slave or wireless DMX operation when used with a separately available Chauvet DJ D-Fi USB transceiver.
Power linking lets multiple fixtures run from a single mains connection, helping reduce cable requirements and making larger lighting installations quicker and tidier to deploy.

Why Choose the Chauvet DJ COLORband Q3BT ILS?
The COLORband Q3BT ILS combines the coverage of a full-size linear wash with multiple control options including Bluetooth, ILS, DMX, optional D-Fi wireless control and IRC-6 compatibility.
Its three-zone RGBA LED design makes it particularly versatile for DJs and event professionals who want anything from smooth static washes to animated multi-zone effects without needing multiple separate fixtures.
Built-In Bluetooth Wireless Control
One of the key advantages of the COLORband Q3BT ILS is its onboard Bluetooth 4.2 connectivity.
A compatible smartphone or tablet can communicate directly with the fixture without requiring additional control hardware, providing a convenient solution for quickly setting colours and effects.
The maximum unobstructed Bluetooth operating distance is stated at approximately 150 ft / 45.7 m
Chauvet DJ ILS Compatibility
The COLORband Q3BT ILS is compatible with the Chauvet DJ Integrated Lighting System (ILS) ecosystem.
ILS is designed to make it easier to coordinate compatible Chauvet DJ lighting fixtures as part of a unified setup, making the Q3BT ILS particularly suitable for mobile entertainers who want coordinated lighting without relying entirely on traditional DMX programming.
12 Quad-Colour RGBA LEDs
The fixture uses 12 x 4W quad-colour RGBA LEDs.
Combining red, green, blue and amber within each LED allows the COLORband Q3BT ILS to produce both vibrant saturated colours and warmer colour tones.
The LEDs have a stated life expectancy of approximately 50,000 hours.
Three Independently Controllable Zones
The COLORband Q3BT ILS is divided into three control zones.
This allows different parts of the fixture to operate independently, opening up creative options including:
Colour chases
Multi-colour washes
Animated effects
Sequential patterns
Dynamic stage effects
The zoning system gives the fixture considerably more creative flexibility than a simple single-zone linear wash.
Wide Wash Coverage
With a 50° beam angle and 80° field angle, the COLORband Q3BT ILS is designed to provide broad coverage.
This makes it suitable for washing:
Stages
Walls
Backdrops
Dancefloors
DJ booths
Performance areas
Venue interiors
The fixture produces a stated illuminance of 509 lux at 2 metres.
DMX Control
For professional lighting setups, the COLORband Q3BT ILS supports standard DMX control.
Selectable operating modes include:
4-channel DMX
6-channel DMX
16-channel DMX
DMX connectivity is provided through 3-pin XLR connections.
This makes the fixture suitable for both relatively simple DMX systems and more detailed multi-zone programming.
D-Fi USB Compatibility
The COLORband Q3BT ILS is D-Fi USB compatible.
When fitted with an optional Chauvet DJ D-Fi USB transceiver, the fixture can be incorporated into compatible wireless master/slave or wireless DMX systems.
D-Fi USB is sold separately
Optional IRC-6 Remote Control
The fixture can also be controlled using the separately available Chauvet DJ IRC-6 remote.
This provides an easy way to select static colours and automated programs without needing a DMX controller or mobile device.
Power Linking
Multiple COLORband Q3BT ILS fixtures can be power linked together, helping minimise the number of separate mains cables required.
According to Chauvet DJ, up to:
10 units can be linked at 120V
19 units can be linked at 230V
This can significantly simplify installation when several fixtures are being used across a stage or venue.
