You are a genius for replacing the derbies with the pars! Definitely gonna try this on mine. Cheers!
Hey Matt! Thanks for watching! I think you're gonna love it!
Nice that the stand fits
Did the same thing the moment I got the gigbar too! Replaced the derbies with par cans and removed the laser entirely! Love using mine with SoundSwitch!
Awesome and Whoa!! I'd love to see that with Soundswitch!! I'm sure theres a video on your channel?
Good idea with removing the Derbies and Laser and adding additional wash lights. I have to try this. Thanks for the tip.
Would love to see a video of you doing and how you like it! Best of luck!
You just struck gold ordering pars immediately
awesome Leo! It makes a huge difference!
Awesome ! Love it.
Hey Happy, thank you! :)
Get yourself an ILS command and you will love the gigbar move even more!
Hi Kennedy! I have since gotten it and yes, it's amazing!!!
@@djdannybhtx right! It makes it so much better.
@@kennedytran2617 yes!!
Do you know if I can link my Freedom Flex H9 IP to the ILS Command?
Nice! Yeah with all that stuff removed that gig bar set up looks good 👍🏼
I agree Drizzy! Thanks for watching!
I also replaced my derby's with pars. I am using the DDJ-FLX10 with Rekordbox Lighting. Absolutely awesome! One thing to note: I left the derby's in the fixture profile but changed the lighting type from "effect" to "Par 1" & "Par 4" leaving the factory pars as 2&3.
I also upgraded the case and love it (the wheels are great improvement making easier to transport.
That's awesome! I would love to see how that works with your Rekordbox lighting!
Love it, Bro! Thank you for recommending that I order the case and the 2 pars. Thanks!!! 🔥 🔥🔥
Hope you like it!
Hi what is the exact product # pars the you replace from derby.. love it..
WOW! Genius!
Another tip on that remote. You should take off the Battery Everytime you finish a gig. If you leave the battery in the remote. The Remote will suck up all the juice out and you gonna have to buy a new one. I take it off.. and Put a Gaffer Tape on the battery and put it on the other Remote Section. When I'm ready to start a new gig.. I just put the Battery back in the remote.
I was so against this bar for my weddings because the lasers and shitty derbies. But I never knew you could swap them out! Bravo! Looks like I’ll be ordering one for NYE 🎉
Trust me, I was debating getting this too to begin with, but just said to myself, "I'll just turn the derbies and laser off and just use the pars and moving heads" But what a waste right? When I found out you can swap them out, I was sold! Would love to see yours when you convert it! :)
@@djdannybhtx I still like a slow moving mirror ball lighting for dinner and slow dances but haven’t found a replacement for my Chauvet Radius lights
Have you checked out the Rotosphere from Chauvet. Give a really great effect. To be honest, it looks so much better with haze, the only problem is, here in Houston, TX. 99.999999999% of the venues here do not allow haze! :( :(@@PartyProDJsFL
Bro!!! Great video! I like how you customized the gig bar to how it should be. Lasers definitely got to go! Especially for weddings. Also the derby's. Chauvet should pay attention to this video. For the next version. A wedding version gig bar 🔥
Thank you bro!! And they need it in white!! 😀
So why pay 1200$ for the gigbar to just rip off 50% of the fixtures?
Great point! I guess you could say I'm doing what Chauvet should have done to begin with to make it a better product :)@@ajkustoms5386
@@ajkustoms5386 I agree the guy probably had second thoughts after buying the controller cos that sorts everything out
What I'm thinking about, where you have the laser, you can put the slimpart 6 ILS that chauvet sells, it would look great.
What?!!! I did not know that but am looking into it now!! Thanks Misterio!
Awesome mod and great thinking outside the box, the fixture would be even better if Chauvet saw your mod and made inter changeable fixtures just for the gig bar move ils
Thank you for watching Colin! I sent this video to Chauvet, hopefully they take some of this video to heart. I would love to see a wash bar in the middle instead of that laser.
@@djdannybhtx Thanks Danny. Yeah a wash bar or led pixal strip similar to the led 360 tubes affect would be off the scale. I've had the hard case for a while but haven't got round to vlog it.
Sick video - lemme get those lights you don’t want 😂
Thank you Dorian! I may have another project up my sleeve I'm going to use the derbys for ;)
That was a great tip about the pars, I just ordered two myself. Thanks! Hmm, I wonder if you can mount moving heads there instead....?
Thank you Tarekith! Everyone's been asking that, but the moving heads are hard wired into the gig bar, so I doubt that's possible. the other lights are a simple twist and plug into the gig bar. Wouldn't hurt if I asked though. I'll follow up.
Let me know also @djdannybhtx I did wonder about two more moving heads
I checked, you cannot add more moving head to this. There are moving parts inside of the bar itself is what I'm being told. That would be super bad ass though. @@djjohnnyp2700
Wish I could mount my wash FX 2s on top 😂😂😂😂
I know it's not ILS....thanks for the video I'm buying two pars now.
@chauvet give this man some commission 😁
That would be dope! Im sure you could use the thumbscrews and mount them where the derbys are now. And just buy a multiplug for the back of the ILS with some custom length IEC’s ans plug them in 🤔
@djdannybhtx maybe! Honestly wish they would make a wash fx mini 😁
Dude!! You nailed it with that! A Wash FX Mini would be dope!!! @@Dyerdrummer
Amazing review and love the mod and case! Just wanted to ask, I just bought mine and am worried about the moving heads shining directly in guests eyes on my wedding dance floor this weekend. I’m playing with the movement settings and just wondering if you have any tips or have anyone ever complain that those moving heads hit them in the eyes.
Best wishes and thanks for the video!
Hi Michael, thank you Sir! So ii have never had anyone complain or say anything about the moving heads shining in their eyes. The good thing about the Gig Bar is I put it at it's highest point and the speed I keep it at a medium speed so that it's constantly moving and not paused too long in one area to be able to blind someone. You can also adjust the intensity of the brightness as well if it every becomes an issue. :)
Great video. I've been considering getting the Gigbar Move + ILS. (currently have a gig bar 2) and loved your idea of taking off the derby lights. When you pulled them off and added the 2 par lights, did you find the weight of carrying the gig bar around in the hard case is a little lighter? Also, does the gig bar fit the same in its original case with the 2 added pars? I would think it would but figured I'd ask :)
Hey Jamie! The weight is about the same, the derbys and the pars are not far off in weight. And yes, it still fits in the original case too! I kept it because when I want to pack it in my Durango, the hard case doesn’t fit.
Totally agree the derby's are the worst thing about the gig bar but now I know you can add pars I will invest in one 🙂
Great Video Dj Danny, I’m looking to to swap out the derby lights as well. Just have a quick question. When hooked up, how do you control them using the ils command console? Will all 4 pars sync when pressing Par button or will they work when you press the Derby option? Thank you 🙏
Hey there thank you! So the one time I have tested it with the Command ILS, the pars worked perfectly when pressing just pars. Since I usually operate solo during my gigs though, I’ve been using the remote 95% of the time.
Hello from France ! Great demo and very useful idea ! Just one question : I don't see these little but brilliant pars anywhere in the Chauvet catalog, would you possibly know if they're available in Europe ?
Thank you for watching! I'm not quite sure about Europe, but Gilbert at Chauvet is a great help to me with any questions I ever have. Email him at chauvetcs@chauvetlighting.com
I Got the bar a week ago. Dope idea to swap out the derbies.
If you do it, I think you'll love it!
@@djdannybhtx swapped them out and got the Command to control the bar as well as 2 ILS 160s. The only thing I’m stuck on now is all of the PARs are the same color except 1. Can’t figure that part out.
That's very strange! I have yet to hear of that issue. Did you buy the correct spot numbers?@@DJBRAND-X
Can you dim the lights on the entire gigbar from the remote? Or do you need DMX hooked up to dim the lights? If not, you may be stuck in a situation where they are too bright. Thanks
I believe you can with the brightness button, however, I do have the ILS Command now and will test both very soon.
Thanks!
I think that a lot of the features of the GigBar Move depend on what you're using it for. If you're using it for weddings, I'll agree (though it's a real lightweight for anything other than a small venue), the derbies and the laser are a waste, but for other venues they may be just right. I have a Gigbar 2 and in a small to a mid sized bar venue with some haze it's great, the derbies and the laser just pop (though in high light levels even haze doesn't help much). I wish it had the RGB laser rather than just the red-green)) although it doesn't really help the par's. Personally, while it has it's place, I'm not a fan of the ILS format. I run using dmx and have found that a light formatted for ILS uses more power and dmx channels than the same light that's not ILS (best example: Colorband H9, I can do in 11 channels in the older USB version that now requires 18 channels in the ILS version, which means I lose 7 channels per light (ex: 10 usb h9's at 11 channels equals 110 channels. 10 ILS h9's need 180 channels for the same function, net loss 70 channels, then add in the reduction of the number of units that can be power linked )). If you have a lot of lights and are trying to stay in one universe that can be a game changer.
Anyhow, I'm off the soapbox. I agree with Danny as far as the hard case is concerned. I've found that it doesn't make any difference who makes the soft case, there are going to be issues. Usually the first thing that goes south is the zipper. Trying to find someone who can fix or repair one can be an excise in futility (or cost you close what you originally spent for the carry bag if you do find someone) and even then they wear thin and get holes in the fabric. I'll definitely be ordering one in the near future.
Excellent comment thank you Karen! I 100% agree with you, the original Gig Bar ILS looks bad ass with fog and or haze, however here in TX, 99.999999999% of the venue we play at DO NOT ALLOW ANY OF THAT! :( Which makes me sad, b/c I absolutely looooooooooooooove the effect that haze creates! The way I modified this Gig Bar is stellar for weddings now. The Gig Bar is one option we offer our clients, as well as upgrading to trussing and moving heads where my DMX skills come in to play! This let's me create the type of light show that is tailored to the event. :) Thanks for the feedback!! :)
This looks much more elegant i would also lose that stand and replace it with a Gravity stand that will let you place it in front of your set up between the DJ booth and controller etc.
Thanks! I have since upgraded to a gravity stand as well! 🎉🎉
Would it work the same for Gig Bar Flex or Gig Bar 2 if I switched the Derby to Par lights too ?
Yes Sir. As ling as it has the same connections. Just need to go to Chauvet Parts Store on their website, look up your bar, and all the replacement parts will be listed there. 😀
I'm really looking forward to buy this gigbar and these modifications are truly awesome, loved it. One question that comes to my mind: would those new pars be recognized if you run the gigbar with Soundswitch using autoscripting or autoloops?
That's a great question! I haven't gotten into Soundswitch yet but would love to see the outcome if you do this. :)
@@djdannybhtx not planning to buy the gigbar yet, so if you try this out in your next videos and let us know your experience could be really helpful :) thank you for all the knowledge you sharing!
@@drsonido for sure! If I grab Soundswitch and test it, I will let you know for sure!
thank you so much!@@djdannybhtx
Danny, you can order 1 more par. The same thing will happen as when you replaced the derbies. Instead of the laser.
Im down!!
What position would the par that replaces the laser be?
So What Do You know about adding the A.I. Lightshow Force 1.0 to the Gig Bar Move?
Nothing yet. I have been researching a lot about the A.I. LIGHTSHOW FORCE though! Looks so simple. I have also seen some videos on the GigBar Move + ILS incorporated with the dreaded MYDMX GO, which I have pretty much given up on.
I use a tiny piece of black gaff to lock in my focus on moving heads as they tend to move and get unfocused while in use. I want to link my Freedom Flex H9 IP to the ILS command is this possible?
Awesome, good to know, thanks! I don't think the freedom series links to the ILS unless maybe you have the usb drive if I'm correct?
Find a gator case that will be big enough. Take out the foam insert of the bag and fit it into the hard case.
Good vid! what's the difference between the Position 2 and position 3?
Thank you! None that I can see. Ive had some people tell me they bought two of the same and it works perfectly. Thats just what Chauvet told me I needed so I bought them as position 2 and 3 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
SO much to comment on, first I HATE CLOTH BAGS. Rockville does OK but you're so right about those cloth hinges. I normally just cut them off lol.
What did you use to record/track your face with this??? That was awesome! back in the day if it was a person i'd say TIP THE CAMERAMAN! lol
hahaha, for sure Kevin! I'm waiting for the cloth hinges to break on this new one! For recording myself, I used the Insta360 Flow! It's so bad ass for 1 person recording.
@@djdannybhtx awesome man, gotta look into that. Looks great man.
Thank you brother! Keep up the great work yourself! Diggin' your videos! :)@@djhikevin
Definitely a lot better
🫡🫡
@@djdannybhtx I honestly hated the gig bar being of the derbys but the wash makes it for me. I wonder if you can put 2 more moving heads on instead of the wash?
@@DJSH98989 I wondered that too but the way the moving heads are mounted, I can’t see that happening. 🥹
Nice where did you get the carrying case?
www.idjnow.com
Hey Danny, great video. It looks like only the par 3 is in stock, but not the par 2… wondering if you know if it’s super important to have one of each or could I just order 2 par 3s and have it still work the same? Cheers
Hey Ryan, thank you for watching! The crazy thing is, EVERYONE has been messaging me that they have been ordering the pars since I posted this video so Im sure Chauvet is wondering what the hell is going on lol! I would think that one position would work for both, but email Gilbert at Chauvet to make sure. He’s a valuable resource for me. Good luck and I look forward to seeing yours once its done 😀
chauvetcs@chauvetlighting.com
Thanks for the info Danny. I actually just heard back from those guys at Chauvet, they mentioned that both pars are identical, so there’s no need to #2 & #3. The only thing that they advised was any modifications made by the customer will void the warranty if anything were to happen or damage the light bar. Thanks again for the info!
Good to know and yes, we all know we void warranty on these things lol!@@ryanhernandez6002
Why not get another par to replace to lazers?
Is that the new 360 Camera with face tracking? Nice Video!
Yes sir. Its the Insta360 Flow
I just inquired with Chauvet about purchasing the additional wash fixtures to replace the derbys. They're out of stock as of 5.15.2024, but they also replied: "Please note that the pars draw more power than the Derbys, so this may cause excess strain on the power supply and cause premature failure which would not be covered by warranty.". Have you experienced any issues with the difference in power draw?
Here's the deal. I have not experienced any issues with that. I personally asked their tech team if the derby's can be replaced with the pars and they said "Absolutely"! After I put out this video and it now has over 12K views, 210 likes and almost 200 comments; all of a sudden you can't do that. I'm thinking Chauvet ultimately likes my mod, they just don't want to admit to it LOL! I think this is the way the Gig Bar should have been made. I was also told by another UA-camr, that they were told by Chauvet, b/c of my video, they have been sold out of these pars ever since this video came out Lol. So I don't know what to believe.
very nice job, but pay attention to the power output from the connectors for derbies, may could not the same and may can damage par led quickly, burning them, if the middle connector have the same power output it would be great tio add another one or may a liitle laser box of 1w minimum if haze is allowed, otherwise another par led will be fine
Thank you! I contacted Chauvet before doing this and they said its fine
great! then go ahead! 😉 @@djdannybhtx
does it matter what addtional par position you get? or do you have to get position 2 and 3?
Chauvet specifically told me those positions to get 😀
Can you do the same customisation with the GigBAR2
I'm pretty sure you can. You can contact Chauvet and just make sure the pars are the same. Would look great!
@@djdannybhtx thanks 👍🏾
do the Par's flash sound-to-light individually... they seem to be way too bright when in sync together.. and in the same colours too..
You can turn down the intensity and I never use it on sound mode. I always use the programs. I should try it in sound mode, good call.
Are you able to get rid of some of the pars and add a couple more moving heads? Wonder if it would work
I wish! The moving heads have moving parts inside of the bar I believe.
@@djdannybhtxI was thinking same way you bolted a par light bolt up another moving head. I’m going to buy one and try it out I’ll let you know
@@bigbawsz2054 I would love to see that!
I have some ADJ washes I wonder if they’re compatible with Chauvet if I link them together? Also, to each his own didn’t this cost you extra by eliminating lights and buying 3 more? Wasn’t there a better system that would have suited your needs? I’m not a fan of those derby’s and lasers either. Looks great!
Not sure if your ADL washes would be compatible, but would love to see how your research turns out. Yes, it cost me $150.00 to add these pars, but that's cheaper than buying a whole other system and it looks so good now.
Yeah. I’m glad it worked out for you! I’m watching an auction now going off tonight for this setup new in box. Currently at $146!
Whoa!!!@@jdrush4606
Great mod, exactly what I was looking for. The two spare par's are different because they are probably on two separate DMX addresses. Have you tried a third par to replace the laser? Any feedback after a month? All working great? I'm about to take the plunge and would hate it if you came back saying it's crap or something lol. Thanks!
Works beautifully!!! Been using consistently and will be uploading some wedding footage soon with it. Just used it tonight as a matter of fact and it was great! Have not added a part to laser spot yet but I feel it coming soon! Lol
@@djdannybhtx thanks man!! Really appreciate the feedback! I also confirmed the DMX address is different for both lights that’s why they sell left and right separately.
Oh nice! Great to know!@@Realdjheisenberg
Hello Danny, greetings from Germany, did you try putting a derby where the laser was ? I would like know if it’s possible and works ? Also thanks for this vid it’s made choice to buy the bar easier. 👍
Hey Richie! I have not. I heard the Laster spot puts out a lot more power and I'd hate to blow or ruin something. LOL!
Ok thanks 🙏
Great video man. Love the breakdown and the own modification. Correct me if I am wrong but what is the difference between the 2 part links in your description?
Thank you! I honestly don't think there is difference as they operate the exact same. It's what Chauvet told me to order, so thats what I did. LOL
@@djdannybhtx Lol, fair enough. I just ordered mine yesterday with 2 extra spots to have the same setup as yours. The moving heads are enough movement for me. And I want enough color just like in your video so thanks for showing us!
Do you know by any chance where to buy these spots in europe?@@djdannybhtx
@@anissekandrouch3846not sure but if you email chauvetcs@chauvetlighting.com Im sure they can advise 😀

Honestly, I think you just need to buy 1 of the positions like you said, but that's what Chauvet told me and even so, how do you know where to put which one right? They all work the same, so I don't think it matters which positions you buy.@@DJIronMIc
I have a gigbar 2 and just purchased the ILS. I was thinking the same thing. Do you think the pars from the gigbar 2 will work on the ILS?
You know, that's a great question! Same connector right? I'd love to see what you come up with! :)
It worked🎉🎉🎉. I tried one par from the gigbar 2 and it works just like the other pars that originally came with the ILS

My Chauvet bag is also toast. Bags suck for gigging. They are not throwing road cases in with gear. What is upsetting about this?
You’re right the bags they send with their gear is no good. It is not road ready for gigging.
They threw it in with my purchase. I paid 1,323 on idjnow
Would the pars from a Gigbar MK2 work on one of these?
They should! as long as it's the same connector I would think so

@@halcyonnights2685 Sweet! Can't wait to see the results you get! :)
Can you replace the Laser with one of the derbys? That would be my favorite setup I think.
Great question! I have yet to try that.
@@djdannybhtx tried it yet?
@@bcon3600 I have not. Scared to blow something lol
Im so conflicted about the Gigbar. I actually like the derbys and lasers when there is fog, thats what they are meant for, not to just be tacky dots all around the room. However I work alot of wedding venues and they usually dont allow fog or haze. But I also dont like the 4 white lights accross the front. I have had people complain that they are too bright and distracting. So basically its just a very expensive bar with 2 pars and 2 moving heads most of the time. Swapping the derbies is an improvement.
I totally agree with you. I may have left the derbies on there and the laser if we would be allowed haze in venue, but without the haze, it looks tacky. As far as the bright white strobe's, I leave those off all of the time. Tacky as well. I feel that Chauvet could learn a lot from JMAZ and their lighting bar systems.
@@djdannybhtx hey Danny so I swapped out the kintas for pars but I cant get colors to match, they are both different than the pars below and different from each other as well in all modes. Any advice?
Very Strange! Did you order the pars directly from Chauvet and did you get the correct slot numbers? When you say they are different from the pars below, what does that mean? Mine look exactly the same.@@RobinApplewood
@@djdannybhtx ah, it must be the slot number? I pulled them from my other Gigbar because they are not available on the chauvet website. when I say "different" Im just referring to the colors being off.
Oh ok, yeah if you pulled them off of the GigBar2, they may not work with the ILS. :(@@RobinApplewood
Hi Danny, would you consider selling the Laser if you are not using it, I would like the Square Laser to change for the round one that I have. I am in Glasgow Scotland, UK Please Let me know.
Hey there! Sorry I'm just seeing this. I actually kept it for the few venues we sill can use haze at. It looks great with haze! :)
Howcome my moving heads don’t display the images sharp like yours? My flowers and shapes look blurred on the wall not crisp.
When you’re at an event, turn them on and let them focus on a wall and hit the freeze button on the remote, then go to your Moving heads and turn the lens on the front. Just keep turning them until the image is crisp and clear on the wall. You usually have to do this at every event because you don’t know how far you are from the furthest wall.

Guilbert was my reason for a bad review on the gigbar 2 six years ago. Horrible customer service. Didn't buy chauvet again till 2 days ago.
13:06 careful this could kill your cancers
That hard case should be STANDARD. Even if they charge a little more.
100% AGREE!
Did you use a moving camera that goes on your computer?
I used the Insta360 Flow
The Gigbar Move + ILS will not update and it has a startup bug that causes the menu screen to blackout when plugged in and it constantly asks for a USB drive to update the firmware. When i insert the 16GB USB drive properly formatted in FAT32 with only the update file on it directly from the Chauvet website following the instructions . When i hold menu and insert the USB drive a bunch of text shows up and it just freezes for hours until you unplug it. When you unplug it, it goes back to the FKN black screen and no lights. Please HELP I BOUGHT 4 OF THESE AND THEY'RE ALL DOING THE SAME THING! They will randomly work whenever they feel like it if i keep plugging in and unplugging the units sometimes ill get lucky and the Chauvet screen will pop up saying V 1.15 resetting. I did a wedding with two of these and they refused to power on no matter what i did! the wedding was a FKN disaster! DON'T BUY THESE GIGBAR MOVE + ILS UNITS THEY ARE TRASH! I will change this comment if Chauvet helps if not im posting this on every ILS video!
I think you made a mistake taking alll fixtures off - its also bad advice to others... what you should advise and do and have done now is just buy the controller .....its now perfect for weddings with the controller - far more control over fixtures n so easy, i agree with you on the case ...might get one .... I would like some sticks like ape labs controlled by the ils -and a mini swarm wash ils
thanks buddy. But this video was not about "control', it's about me not liking derbys at all and replacing them with 2 pars and deleting the annoying laser. I have the Command and love it,
@@djdannybhtx Yeah did you ever try the fixtures with the control before removing them tho ? you can couloir code everything make it act like a wash and set up different macros etc ., i think you probably did this then bought the controller because yeah it was all flashy flashy before the controller came out - the biggest reason not to buy one i think however that all changed with the controller - i love this ils gig bar but had same issues before i got controller so i think rather than advise ppl to remove derby or laser advise them to buy the wireless controller ...you can use it to programme spotlight dance too but easy to pick a spot n just freeze
Kan ijj ket det
