- Vlog 150 - May 20, 2017 | DJ Light Review: Chauvet Swarm Wash VS Swarm 5FX | Best Beginner DJ and Sound Active DJ Light Fixture.
In this VLOG we take a look at to very popular DJ Lighting Fixtures the Chauvet Swarm Wash and the Chalet Swarm 5FX. We compare and Review both of these two very popular DJ Lighting fixtures. These two lights are some of the best Sound Active Fixtures in the market today and are ideal for not only working mobile DJs but also Club, Bars, Gyms, and Nightclubs. I review in detail both of these fixtures and compare the effects and size differences in both of the Chauvet Swarm fixtures. I also go into detail as to why I prefer the Chuavet Swarm Wash over the Swarm FX. These two DJ party lights are the perfect solution for beginner DJs or people just getting started in Mobile DJ game because they are an all in one fixture offering Lasers effects, Wash effects, Strobe effects, as well as Derby and Moonflower effects in one small package. These lights are awesome!

What Do you think about the JB Systems Invader and the JB Systems LED Devil II?
I have Chuavet Dj swarm wash Fx.
Dj barr do video Chuavet swarm wash Fx vs stinger 2 ADJ. So you could see which one everybody likes.
price point on both fixtures?
I am new to this but your Amazon link for Warm Wash FX the one you prefer is not going to that item
These light fixtures are amazing! I just started mobile DJing and I rent these at Guitar Center for about $15 each. I'll eventually buy a set of these once I get consistent gigs. great review bro
I just wanted to say thank you...thank you:). Probably the best, thorough, and clear review of any product...ever.
Man keep grinding, this is gold! can't wait to see you post more- what are your goals for the next year on youtube?!
Awesome review sir! I need to upgrade my simple set up so might be scooping up two of these bad boys
DJ Lunátiko you will love them man
I own a Chauvet Swarm 5 FX and they are great the swam wash fx look nice would work to get one of those. great video.
Fantastic content for DJ's man, solid production and I really am enjoying going through your videos. What app are you using when showing the color options? Thanks!
Hey, nice video. I'd love to see more of them working in a big room - that little 1 second grab around 9:21 was really helpful to see. It'd be great if you can capture some more footage like that, maybe with the room full?
Cheers
I bought the 5fx as my first lighting fixture and it hasn't failed me yet. I don't think the wash is worth it, because I think it's better to just buy some tripars for washing, they can get more colors. But I've always been impressed by how smart the sound active mode is on these.
Have 2 swarm wash fx and they are awesome lights for sure!
you helped me decide thanks!!
First like and comment love u man
great presentation. I'm gonna get the Wash
Hey DJ Barr, Would you consider doing a video on Cable Management? Specific tips on keeping the set up clean.
Thank you you help me decide
Cool review. I think the irc remotes have shortcuts to certain features using number combinations. I believe its in the back of the manual.
I instantly drop everything and watch these when they come out keep up the good work man you deserve a million subscribers
Thank you man!
I have a swarm 5fx.. I was thinking of getting the adj stinger 2 but there leds are only UV! That's really cool and I didn't know the swarm wash fx light had uv as well as colors! I love uv! Time to sell mine!
I love it man!
Yes the review video are good.. Can you do one of how you run your DMX
How are you controlling it from the iPad? Can you please explain
I’m pretty sure he use ADJ MYDMXGO search it on YT
Do a gigbar review! Thinking about 2 of these and a gigbar 2.0 in the middle. What do you think?
Thanks for video. Want to upgrade my show on stage for our band. I have 2 sets of regular 4 Chauvet lights on tree but want some laser looks and something easy. I don't know how to program anything but you were helpful, I think I could run these with the limited knowledge I have🤘😁🤘
great video as always. hit me up if your ever doing a public gig in or around atlantic city, I would like to see ya in action live. or vice versa. anyways keep up the good work
Yo Barr, these review vlogs are awesome! yeah those remotes are crap.
Yo Barr, my channels finally up 2 man, after 4 years of procrastinating check it out, when you have time.. P.s its pretty rough lol
Great Video !
Swarm Wash FX is a great light but here in Australia it's overpriced at $360AUD... By the way Great review video mate..
Good review, Can you set the UV mode with the IRC instead of DMX?
I see that most of videos you feature ADJ products. Is there a particular reason why you picked the Chauver FX Wash Swarm and not the ADJ Stinger 2?
Thanks man. Digging all your videos thanks!
What's up DJ Barr! I have 2 of the swarm wash FX and they are awesome. I do have a question about the wash lights in dmx mode, do you have to be in 18 channel mode to get wash lights all one color? I have a wedding venue and I need to be able to set these in solid color wash until the party gets started. Any suggestions? Thank you
I notice you have them mounted horizontally on your speakers stands. Can they be mounted on the ceiling pointing down and still work well and get good coverage?
Hey bar can you do a video on how to do DMX please
Great video
great video.
Thanks bro for the info
Keep up the enthusiasm!
I believe the derby is brighter in the wash fx too. I once considered these when I was upgrading. Tho I'm not really a strobe or laser guy. I was considering the wash over the other because I felt the large white strobes were too much and washed out the other effects too much. The wash is cool but I felt they should have not aimed them all in one spot. Like tilt them slightly out in a fan. Idk. That way it makes a wider wash. I passed mainly because I don't want to pay for two features I'd probably never use. Kind of like the gigbar. Strobe and laser is probably never use so why buy a fixture with them. I ended up with two 255 IRC's. Lol. Way more money but probably worth it. Now I'm thinking I should have done some high end scanners.
Other than Amazon where do you get your lighting from. I'm getting 2/375 IRC spots and 2/ swarm wash. Don't know should I go with goal post trussing or 4 8ft square truss
Swarm Wash it is... great review brother. Chauvet should pay you lol
You realise there's two
@@jgillylikesbudsalot7436 one is Swarm Wash one is Swarm 5FX....
What program and set up are you using to operate the dmx. I'm new to this and that is exactly how I'd like to be able to operate mine.
TIA
Please can you tell me what brackets you used, to mount the lights to your speaker stands.
I love them 🤓
I have a airstream how do you program the sound active mode for these fixtures.
i like those but im planning on getting the Boombox fx 2
Just picked up a 2nd Swarm fx5
How do you remove the laser effects? Please advise I don’t have them on me right now but I believe I have the small version but I didn’t like the laser FX Thanks
Hello, are these still cool in 2021 or is there any updated versions?
Just stumbled upon this video, what is the handheld device you use to control the DMX lighting? TIA
Hey bar are there any Lighting control apps that you would recommend ?
If I have a gig bar 2 (which has been excellent by the way) is it still worth getting these ? And how do you connect these to the speaker poles like your setup ? Under the speakers ? @bayardo
Bayardo A Rugama I will buy numark mixtrac pro 3. It will be my first controller and I will need cheap dj light for now. Do you know cheap and good dj light?
And I am be your big fan.
You should do that chauvet intimidator spot led 150?!
❤❤
Yo DJ Bar. Whats there you have as a studio monitor in ur room?
Do these fixtures come with the power cables?
Curious to know how to get in the club scene...🤔🤔 would love to see a video with tips for beginners on how to build connections/start djing in clubs thank you! Your videos are lit 🔥
Victor Zaikos I got booked for clubs by looking on Craigslist. Also know how to use CDJ'S
Amazon what have I purchased from you because of DJ Barr's reviews on his channel
Djm 850
1 Chauvet swarm 5 FX
2 Chauvet swarm wash FX
1 Adj UB 12 hex

Great review! Thanks for the details
Is chauvet fx wash overkill for have at home appartment?
what app were u using to change lighting?
What do u think to the chuvet gig bar
Flood, strobe, wash, derby, & lasers all in one fixture, w/ hot key controls in software.
How did you fix it to the tripod?
Yo wat app u use for the swarm fx5
Hey Dj Barr, any chance you could review the Chauvet FXpar 9? Thanks man
I will try to get my hand on them.
What DMX controller is he using in this video
The remote does have different music modes and quick color change so it's not totally useless
I will like to know how u controlled the lights with the tablet? Need more info I'm new at this
Joel Suarez He uses the DMX airbridge
it is a small device that networks your lights and lets you control it with your ipad :)
Chauvet Wash FX 2 or these? What's better
How r controlling it from the I pad??????
What dmx do you used
Barr, do you ever use your equipment to do free parties for your immediate family?
Ryan Tafoya No, I don't really have family here
Can you omit the strobes? A lot of my clients have peeps with epilepsy!
Yes you can, in the individual modes you can change the setting to turn off strobes

I'm 13 and I take a HUGE interest into being a DJ. My parents bought me a 15k watt speaker (yes, 15k watt). They bought it at the flea market which caused it to be much cheaper (around $300). The speaker includes built in lights, and equalizer to boost the sound. However, the bass doesn't really support how loud the speaker can go. So in order to do that. I'll need a subwoofer. But at the same time, I'm worried about these darn lights cause they're so good. And I feel like I ask for too much from my parents. Luckily I have around $100+ that I have saved up a while back. So, with that money. I can probably buy some of those items. Maybe a fog machine, if I have enough. Maybe I'll buy the lights shown in there (the wash FX). If not then I'll put it on my wishlist. And hope I get something out of those gifts.
edit: holy hell, it's literally been 2 years since i made this comment. I'm 16 now. Can't believe I used to dj with a cheap ass mf "15k watt" speaker. Anyways. I have a much better setup now. Thought I'd share to help inspire beginner dj's who are possibly reading this comment. I have 2 harbinger v2312's (ik, they're not the best speakers. Still on a budget lol. I'm planning to buy better speakers, and maybe a sub. all depends on how consistent I am with my gigs.) I have a chauvet gigbar 2, ddj sr2, shure pga 58, hp envy x360, and livewire xlr's, and trs cables. And that's pretty much it, I have more stuff, but they're not really important enough to mention.
I have about 1.1k dollars that I have saved up, and with that money I'm probably going to get new speakers. After that, well...idk what else I'll buy. I guess I'll just start saving up for no reason...
Keep grinding guys, you got this!
Check out Bill Fitzmaurice website and build your own horn based subwoofer. Very efficient and pound like hell - save lots of money over commercial offerings. You need DSP to control however, but you still save money and have better bass than most other rigs.
best dj I know is you

Hit me up!
Seriously how are you controlling these from your iPad?
I wanted these but u never hit me back up
I sold it in like 5minutes. Sorry!
Hi 👋
Man, answer you questions in your comments.
Price kotto
Save your money and get a Chauvet Line Dancer instead. It's not worth the tacky laser nor the SMD strobes. Plus I rarely point wash lights the same direction as effect lights. No one wants to stare into a wash!
Don't need to shout bro
Please, use DMX.
No te entiendo nada 😂😂😂😂
Great light for anything other than a wedding. Think about it, its a classy event, its a wedding, not a club. I'm sure these are great lights but personally, never around a wedding.
Couldn't agree more, I switched to moving heads a few years ago. These lights ruin every picture at the reception because they put dots on everyone. But for club/bar/birthday and so on these are a perfect option for mobile DJs.
Yup, you nailed it with that one. I've seen pictures of say the mother son dance ruined by a green dot all over the face.
Just turn off the lasers when taking pictures
@@aesop180 I turn off the laser and use them as wash lights.
Yeah. A dj light all in one. . lazy fixture. Don't be cheap people. Come on.spend a lil more and be different. Don't be like Christmas light. It's Stupid ..
Where do you buy your lighting from other than Amazon. What truss should I go with goal post or 8ft square trussing I'm purchasing 2 /375 irc spots 2 of those swarm wash
