Chauvet Intimidator Spot 160 ILS

The Chauvet DJ Intimidator Spot 160 ILS is a compact, feature-packed LED moving-head spot designed for mobile entertainers, clubs, bars, and event spaces. A single 32W LED powers a color wheel and gobo wheel for crisp projections, fast and precise pan and tilt sweep beams across the room, and ILS compatibility lets it join coordinated shows with other Chauvet ILS fixtures.

Chauvet DJ Intimidator Spot 160 ILS: Big Effects, Small Package

The Intimidator Spot 160 ILS brings moving-head effects to mobile setups without the weight or cost of large fixtures. Its 32W LED projects crisp gobos from nearly any distance, the color wheel offers split colors and continuous scrolling, and built-in movement macros make it easy to create dynamic looks. Electronic dimming and a variable strobe round out the effects.

Totem Mode and Selectable Ranges

Totem Mode restricts pan and tilt to keep beams on the dance floor, perfect for DJs who set up on a tripod or totem. Pan range can be set to 180, 360, or 540 degrees and tilt to 90, 180, or 229 degrees, so the fixture moves only where you want it.

Setting Up the Intimidator Spot 160 ILS

Mount the fixture with the included quarter-turn hanging bracket on a truss, totem, or T-bar. For quick shows, use automatic or sound-active programs, or link up to four fixtures in master/slave. For full control, connect DMX and choose 5- or 11-channel mode. Use the optional IRC-6 remote for convenient non-DMX control, or an ILS hub like the GigBAR Move + ILS to coordinate it with the rest of your rig.

What to Pair With the Intimidator Spot 160 ILS

Pair the Intimidator Spot 160 ILS with a second unit for symmetrical effects, a hazer to make beams visible, a lighting totem or T-bar, a D-Fi USB transceiver, and the CHS-1XX VIP gear bag for transport.

Why Moving Heads?

Static lights can only wash a fixed area. Moving heads sweep beams, project patterns, and change colors and positions in time with the music, adding energy and movement to any event. Compact spots like the Intimidator Spot 160 ILS make that professional look accessible to mobile DJs and small venues.

Linking and Power

DMX-link the fixture to other lights via its 3-pin XLR in and out, and power link up to 7 units at 120 V (12 at 230 V) to cut down on extension cords. A multivoltage power supply and full-color display make setup fast, and you can set, save, and recall a manual scene directly from the fixture.
