Chauvet DJ Intimidator Spot 260X
The Intimidator Spot 260X is a compact 75-watt moving head built for mobile events, delivering serious performance in a small footprint. Chauvet promotes it under the tagline "Unlock Xcellence!" — highlighting extreme brightness, thrilling colors, and precise control. The fixture features an updated CTO color wheel and a redesigned home position that smooths out programming and eliminates the jarring whip-around motion that can occur with certain looks. Control is simple and flexible thanks to a built-in RF receiver for wireless operation with the optional RFC or RFC-XL remotes, plus a full-color LCD display for setting, saving, and recalling a scene manually. The motorized focus projects crisp gobos from nearly any distance, while manual zoom handles both short and long throws. A 3-facet prism splits the beam to cover more area, and the built-in Totem mode keeps beams on the dance floor.

Design and Control Features
Built for mobility, the Intimidator Spot 260X includes a ¼-turn hanging bracket for quick removal and setup. Its built-in RF receiver enables wireless control via the optional RFC or RFC-XL remotes, giving operators an array of control options right in their hands. The full-color LCD display allows a scene to be set, saved, and recalled manually without external programming. Up to four fixtures can be linked together to create synchronized shows in Automated or Sound mode, and powerCON-compatible power input/output connections streamline setup by reducing cabling time. The fixture is available in black or white housings to suit different applications and fits best in the CHS-2XX VIP Gear Bag for transport.
Optical Performance
At the core of the Intimidator Spot 260X is a single 75-watt cool white LED rated for 50,000 hours of life. The motorized focus system projects crisp gobos from nearly any distance, while the manual zoom adjusts the beam angle for short or long throw applications. A 3-facet, static, round prism splits the beam to cover a wider area, and the innovative built-in Totem mode ensures beams always remain on the dance floor regardless of fixture orientation. Eight colors plus white are available, along with split colors and continuous scroll at variable speeds, complemented by seven gobos plus open (six aluminum and one glass) that rotate, interchange, and scroll continuously at variable speeds.
Movement and Range
The Intimidator Spot 260X offers wide-ranging pan and tilt movement — 540° of pan and 234° of tilt — with selectable ranges of 540°, 360°, or 180° for pan and 234°, 180°, or 90° for tilt, allowing operators to tailor movement to the venue and application. This flexible motion, combined with the new smoother home position, supports refined programming without abrupt starting movements, making the fixture well-suited for dynamic lighting design in mobile event settings.
Why We Love This
Our gear experts appreciate the Intimidator Spot 260X because it delivers professional-grade lighting without demanding a truck full of gear. Its compact, lightweight design fits easily into mobile setups, while wireless RF control via the RFC/RFC-XL remotes means adjustments happen right from the stage. The smooth new home position keeps transitions clean during performances, and linking up to four fixtures in Sound mode lets the lighting react naturally to the music — creating an immersive show with minimal setup effort.
