About the CHAUVET DJ COREpar UV120 ILS COB LED PAR (Ultraviolet)
The CHAUVET DJ COREpar UV120 ILS is a specialized LED PAR fixture engineered to produce a powerful and concentrated output of ultraviolet (UV) light, specifically for creating intense fluorescent and blacklight effects in entertainment environments. Unlike standard color-mixing PARs, this fixture is dedicated to the UV spectrum, utilizing a high-output COB (Chip-on-Board) LED source that emits light in the 395-405 nanometer range. This wavelength is highly effective at exciting phosphors in specially treated materials, paints, and fabrics, causing them to glow vividly against a dark background. It is an essential tool for themed parties, nightclubs, theatrical productions, and haunted attractions where dramatic reactive visuals are desired.
The fixture is designed for seamless integration into professional lighting systems through compatibility with the Intelligent Lighting System (ILS) protocol, allowing it to be daisy-chained with other ILS fixtures and controlled via a single DMX line. It offers multiple DMX channel modes for control over intensity and built-in effect macros, and also includes standalone modes with sound activation for simple, controller-free operation. The robust housing incorporates efficient thermal management to handle the heat generated by the high-power UV LED, ensuring consistent output and long component life. Its familiar PAR-style form factor with an integrated yoke allows for easy mounting on stands or trussing.
Safety and application are important considerations for UV lighting. The COREpar UV120 produces a non-visible light source that requires a dark environment and fluorescent-reactive surfaces to achieve its full effect. Its focused beam and high output make it capable of covering a significant area with UV energy. By providing a reliable, high-intensity source of ultraviolet light in a format compatible with standard control networks, this fixture offers lighting designers a powerful and efficient tool for adding captivating reactive elements to their visual productions.
