ShowPony DJ / Party Light
The ShowPony is a genuine all-in-one party bar, built for DJs, mobile entertainers, and hire companies who need a full lighting rig without wrangling a dozen separate fixtures. Everything mounts on a single bar and packs down in minutes including moving heads, wash pars, derbies, strobe, and laser, all pre-rigged and ready to plug in and go.
Often compared to the popular Chauvet GigBar Move, the ShowPony takes the same "all-in-one bar" concept and pushes it further, packing in more fixtures, more power, and a broader effects spread; making it a genuine step up for anyone who's outgrown the GigBar's output or wants a single unit to do more of the heavy lifting.
Perfect for rental company and hire use.
What's in the box:
- 2 x 30W Moving Heads — for dynamic, sweeping beam movement across the dance floor or venue
- 2 x 5x8W RGBW Pars — full-colour wash coverage for stage or room lighting
- 2 x Derby Lights (3W RGBW LEDs + 14 x RGB strobe) — classic multi-beam party effects with built-in strobe capability
- 1 x R+G Laser — adds sharp, high-energy beam and pattern effects to the mix
Included accessories:
- Tripod lighting stand
- Carry bag
- Wireless footswitch
- IR controller
- 5m Powercon input lead
Setup couldn't be simpler: stand it up on the included tripod, plug in power, and control everything via the IR remote or wireless footswitch; no DMX programming required, though the option is there if you want deeper control. It's the kind of fixture that gets a room lit fast, whether that's a wedding, birthday, school ball, or full club night, and packs back down into its carry bag just as quickly at the end of the night.
Compared to similar all-in-one bars on the market including Chauvet's upgraded GigBar Move Plus ILS the ShowPony holds its own on power and edges ahead on colour-wash output. Its 30W moving heads sit right alongside the Move+'s 32W heads, while the ShowPony's 5x8W RGBW pars deliver considerably more wash output than the Move+'s 6W pars, giving a brighter, more saturated colour flood across the room.
How it compares:
Both the ShowPony and the Chauvet GigBar Move+ ILS are 5-in-1 all-in-one bars, packing moving heads, derbies, washes, a laser, and strobe effects onto a single unit, and both include 2 moving heads, 2 wash pars, and 2 derbies as standard, built to the same high manufacturing standard. Output-wise, the two are closer than you'd expect on moving heads 30W on the ShowPony vs 32W on the GigBar Move+ but the ShowPony pulls ahead on colour wash, with 5x8W RGBW pars delivering noticeably brighter, more saturated coverage than the Move+'s 6W pars. The GigBar's key advantage is its ILS technology, letting it sync wirelessly with other ILS-enabled Chauvet fixtures if you want to expand into a larger, coordinated rig over time. On top of that, the ShowPony comes in around 20% cheaper, making it the stronger choice for anyone who wants the same build quality and a brighter, more saturated colour wash without paying a premium for ecosystem expansion they may never use.
