Chauvet DJ Wash FX Hex | Multi-Purpose Wash and Effect Light
Brilliance, brightness, and total versatility. The Chauvet DJ Wash FX Hex is more than just a wash light; it is a creative tool that packs three distinct effects into one rugged unit. With 18 powerful 8W LEDs, it generates a massive spectrum of colours, including natural-looking warm whites and vivid ambers. The inclusion of 6 independent chasing zones allows you to use the fixture as a standard stage wash or as a dynamic eye-candy effect with intricate pixel-mapped animations.
Why Choose the Wash FX Hex?
-
3-in-1 Multi-Effect: Functions perfectly as a high-coverage wash, a punchy audience blinder, or a vibrant chase effect.
-
Hex-Colour Precision: 18 x 8W LEDs provide Red, Green, Blue, Amber, White, and UV mixing for limitless colour options and "blacklight" effects.
-
6 Chasing Zones: Split the output into six independent clusters for sophisticated pixel-chasing and animation macros.
-
Advanced Master/Slave Mirroring: Automatically mirror your light show across multiple units for a perfectly balanced, professional display.
-
Multiple Control Modes: Choose between standalone automated programs, sound-to-light, IRC-6 wireless remote, or full DMX control.
-
Efficient Power Linking: Save time and minimize cable clutter by power-linking multiple units together.
Powerful Coverage and Creative Freedom
Total Colour Mastery By including White, Amber, and UV LEDs, the Wash FX Hex moves beyond simple RGB mixing. You can create soft pastels, crisp cool whites, and that iconic "UV glow" for neon-themed events. This wide colour palette makes it just as effective for elegant wedding uplighting as it is for high-energy club environments.
Sophisticated DMX Mapping For engineers who want total control, the 40-channel DMX mode allows you to individually program every colour in all six zones. For faster setups, the 3, 6, and 11-channel modes provide instant access to built-in show macros, strobe effects, and pre-mixed colour fades.
Built for the Professional on the Move Housed in a durable, road-ready chassis, the Wash FX Hex features a dual-bracket design that makes it equally at home mounted on a T-bar or standing directly on the floor for wall washing. Its compact size ensures it fits easily into standard transport bags, making it a favorite for mobile performers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the benefit of the UV LED? The UV (ultraviolet) LED allows the fixture to act as a blacklight, making white clothing and neon colours glow brilliantly. It also enables you to mix much deeper, richer shades of purple and pink that standard RGB lights simply cannot produce.
Can I use this for stage washing? Yes. With its 41-degree beam angle and 18 powerful LEDs, it provides a broad, even wash that is perfect for blanket-lighting stages or large backdrops.
Is it easy to use without a DMX controller? Absolutely. You can use the onboard digital display to select various "auto" programs or put it into sound-active mode where it will chase and flash in time with your music.
