The Internet’s Opinion

From 0 professional reviews and 1 owner review: too little evidence to call.

Too little evidence to call: no professional reviews of the Mini Strobe LED found, and one owner review read at Guitar Center, where an owner running four on a chase controller calls it a great effect on the cheap but not bright enough to fill a hall.

Our take

Rory TassellWritten from the sources on this page, not from a loan unit.

The evidence on the Mini Strobe LED is thin: no professional review of it was found, and the one owner review long enough to count, at Guitar Center, calls four of them on a chase controller a great effect on the cheap but wishes it were brighter. It is a 0.2 kg white strobe with one rate knob, 0 to 7 Hz, and no DMX. Buy it for a house party; for a strobe on cue, choose a DMX model.

What it is

Status, November 2026: current. Chauvet DJ still lists the Mini Strobe LED, for the US, Mexico and Canada only.

What it is

The Mini Strobe LED is a plug-in strobe from Chauvet DJ: 21 white LEDs in a 0.2 kg box, ready to use out of the box (Chauvet DJ product page). You plug it in and set the flash rate with a knob on the back, from 0 to 7 Hz. Its quick reference guide shows no other control: there is no DMX input, sound-active mode or remote, so no DMX controller or lighting software can fire it. The guide gives a 120° coverage angle.

It draws 12 W through a fixed power cord, with no output for linking. Each model is built for one voltage, 120 V or 230 V, and the guide says never to connect it to a dimmer or rheostat. It is rated IP20, for indoor use only.

It measures 130 x 102 x 95 mm, and Chauvet DJ says it fits inside sticks of TRUSST and best in the CHS-40 VIP Gear Bag. The box holds the light and a warranty card. It hangs from its bracket; a clamp such as the CLP-10 and a safety cable such as the CH-05 are sold separately.

The one owner review read, at Guitar Center, runs four on a chase controller and warns not to expect a flash that fills a hall. For a strobe on cue, the Shocker 2 takes DMX. Its top rate is above the UK's recommended limit for clubs and public performances, four flashes a second, as the strobe lights guide explains.
