Chauvet DJ FXpar 6 – RGBW Wash & RGB Ring Multi-Effect Light
The Chauvet DJ FXpar 6 is a compact multi-effect lighting fixture combining an RGBW LED wash, RGB outer ring and six zones of control to create colourful, animated effects from a single unit.
Rather than functioning as a conventional static PAR, the FXpar 6 uses multiple lighting technologies to produce both powerful wash lighting and dynamic visual effects. Its main light source comprises 18 quad-colour RGBW LEDs, while an additional outer ring uses 51 RGB LEDs to create eye-catching effects around the perimeter of the fixture.
Independent control of the RGBW wash LEDs and RGB outer ring gives lighting designers and DJs greater creative flexibility. With six zones of control, the FXpar 6 can generate animated looks that go beyond the capabilities of a basic colour wash.
For straightforward operation without a dedicated controller, built-in automated and sound-activated programs can generate instant effects. Sound-active operation makes the FXpar 6 particularly convenient for DJs, parties and entertainment applications where lighting needs to react dynamically to music.
For more advanced setups, DMX control is available through standard 3-pin XLR connections with 3, 6 or 11-channel DMX modes, allowing the fixture to be integrated into larger lighting systems and customised shows.
The optional Chauvet DJ IRC-6 remote provides another convenient control option, allowing users to access static colours and automated programs wirelessly.
With a 20° beam angle, 36° field angle, output of 3,239 lumens and illuminance of 5,657 lux at 2 metres, the FXpar 6 provides substantial output from its compact 1.3kg enclosure.
Power linking also makes multi-fixture installations easier by allowing up to 12 units to be linked at 230V, reducing the number of separate mains connections required.
Flicker-free operation makes the FXpar 6 suitable for on-camera applications, while its compact dimensions make it practical for mobile DJs and event professionals where transport space is limited.
Whether used individually or as part of a multi-fixture lighting rig, the Chauvet DJ FXpar 6 provides an effective combination of wash lighting, animated RGB effects and flexible control in one compact fixture.

Why Choose the Chauvet DJ FXpar 6?
The FXpar 6 provides considerably more visual variety than a conventional PAR by combining an RGBW wash with an independently controlled RGB outer ring.
Six-zone control, DMX, automated and sound-active programs, optional IRC-6 control and power linking make it particularly versatile for DJs, parties, mobile entertainment and event lighting
RGBW Wash & RGB Outer Ring
The FXpar 6 combines two complementary lighting elements within a single compact fixture.
The main wash uses 18 quad-colour RGBW LEDs, producing colourful wash effects with dedicated white available alongside red, green and blue.
Surrounding the main wash is an additional ring containing 51 RGB LEDs.
The wash and outer ring can be controlled independently, allowing contrasting colours and animated combinations to be created within the same fixture.
Six Zones of Control
One of the FXpar 6's most important creative features is its six zones of control.
Rather than illuminating the entire fixture as one uniform source, zoned control allows more dynamic effects to be generated across the light, creating movement and visual interest suitable for energetic DJ and party environments.
I would make this feature prominent on the page because it is a much stronger differentiator than simply saying “RGBW PAR”.
Sound-Activated Lighting Effects
Built-in sound-activated programs allow the FXpar 6 to generate effects in response to music.
This makes it particularly useful for mobile DJs and parties where fast setup and automatic operation are priorities.
Instead of programming an entire lighting show manually, the fixture can produce energetic looks using its built-in programming.
Automated Programs
The FXpar 6 also includes automated programs, providing instant lighting effects without requiring DMX programming.
This makes the fixture accessible to beginners while retaining DMX functionality for more experienced lighting users.
DMX Control
For custom lighting shows, the FXpar 6 supports DMX control through standard 3-pin XLR connections.
Three channel configurations are available:
3-channel DMX
6-channel DMX
11-channel DMX
This allows users to select an appropriate level of control depending on the complexity of the lighting setup.
Optional IRC-6 Wireless Control
The optional Chauvet DJ IRC-6 remote provides convenient wireless access to static colours and automated programs.
This can be particularly useful for smaller installations or mobile setups where a full DMX controller is unnecessary.
Importantly, I would clearly state “optional” everywhere rather than accidentally implying that the IRC-6 is supplied with the fixture.
Flicker-Free Video Operation
The FXpar 6 provides flicker-free operation suitable for on-camera use.
That makes it useful not only for live DJ and event lighting but also for performances, streams and other environments where lighting may appear on video.
Power Linking
Multiple FXpar 6 fixtures can be power linked to simplify larger installations.
At UK/European 230V operation, up to 12 fixtures can be power linked, reducing the number of separate extension cables and mains connections required.
This becomes particularly useful when building a symmetrical multi-fixture DJ or event lighting rig.
The Chauvet DJ FXpar 6 is an excellent choice for DJs and entertainers who want more than a conventional LED PAR. Its combination of an RGBW wash, RGB outer ring, six control zones, sound-activated effects, DMX operation and optional wireless remote control provides substantial creative flexibility from a compact 1.3kg fixture.
With flicker-free operation, power linking and up to 5,657 lux at two metres, it is equally suited to individual use or larger multi-fixture lighting setups.
