A 1 man band, is what this thing is! I just use this at home mainly, or with friends for a party. This is the only light you need for that! Adds a lot to my cosmic ping pong setup! Took it to a friend's house for a pool party after the sun went down. Crazy good coverage. Looks killer through fog or smoke! The only weak points on it are the UV wash isn't all that bright & I would like the sound sensitivity to be a little better even with the sensitivity all the way up. The other wash colors are great! Not a deal breaker by any means for me on this. The white "strobes" don't really strobe a lot in my opinion. They're almost more of a white wash, than strobes. I actually prefer this because strobes can get annoying quick. Considering all the great effects this does, and it can possibly be the only light you need for small stuff, it's a great value. I do feel Chauvet should've thrown in the remote at this price point, but I only use it in sound active mode. One last thing, I like how the programs are set up. They basically turn off or solo different effects. The white LEDs bugging you? Pick the program (listed in the manual) that turns them off, but leaves the others on. Can't use lasers at your gig? Turn them off, but leave everything else on. Not sure if you can turn the individual laser colors off. Anywho, I think it's the best multi effects light out there. I had an ADJ Stinger 2 that I sent back because the green laser went out after a month. I decided to try this & I think it blows the Stinger out of the water! I tend to be more of a fan of ADJ's stuff, but Chauvet knocked it out with this fixture!Read full review

First let me say I own 4 of the Swarm FX5's already. I like these more because the user has more control of the speed of the Derby Lights. It has all of the colors, including the very popular amber. The strobe is not very bright, which is a good thing. There are 17 Pre programmed shows. Sound Mode has very nice shows too..... DMX is wonderful.... I use the FX5's linked master slave and the effects are wonderful. This has LED lights where the strobe lights are located on the FX5, including black UV lights. The only con is the light is very hard to work with the Chauvet IR remote. The buttons on the IR remote do not create the effects they are supposed to.... The IR Remote only enables the user to switch back and fourth between pre-programmed effects or sound mode with a speed option. The LED lights stand up to smoke very well. The laser effects are the same as the Chauvet FX Mini and the FX5... Excellent effects in both red and green. I have no complaints at all. I predict this light will be a success for Chauvet. If you use this lighting effect at a School Dance, Bar or Bat Mitzvah or a rave party, you will be amazed. Buy two and linke them master and slave for great effects...... If you use this for elegant lighting you will need a DMX machine because the IR Remote will not control the colors, which is a shame. I hoped the IR remote would be as good as a DMX machine but I should have known better...... It will not control this light's effects. Great light to have for a quick set up and break down. It would also be a good "center light" to build around. I like that the Strobe Effect is not as harsh as the FX5.Read full review
