The Chauvet Swarm 4 FX is an interesting fixture that contains two "Moonflower" effect lights, red and green lasers, and an LED "strobe".

Some notes about this fixture file:
It is impossible to satisfy the Validator with the "Strobe Program Speed" channel. If set as type Shutter the validator throws an error and says the channel should be of type Speed, and if set it as type Speed it throws an error and desires type Shutter. I'm not sure what to do here but have left it as type Speed as that makes sense to me.
The Moonflowers both contain RGBA LEDs which do not mix, but instead create distinct beams. (e.g. it is impossible to create cyan, it will appear as separate blue/green beams.) But because Click and Go is limited to two colors, for the modes with three or four colors on I have indicated these with a mixed color (such as yellow/cyan/magenta/white) to best approximate the output. Not entirely correct but it's helpful to me.

I had a chance to test this light out last weekend and it was working as expected.
