Sometimes I have a craving for something that isn't being sold any more and what I had been looking for is the American DJ Tempest. Never saw it before but I wanted it and it just showed up from some DJ in the east. Must say it was packed good now to see if it still works. I got my fingers crossed.
American DJ Tempest.....Just got it.
- Thread starter Cesar
- Start date
I've still got one of those power hungry monsters hanging up in the garage.
From previous experience - Be sure to carry a backup lamp and avoid moving the unit until it has completely cooled down.

One on each side of my system might be fun but they sure are heavy.....LOL
Picked mine up for 220. Much happier then my 2 Jelly Fish products.

School dance cancelled today now i have to wait till my Reception on Friday to see the lights in action.
that really IS a "light show in a box"...
even if it is large and heavy, it could certainly replace your whole light show.
surprised they haven't made an LED version

Hey Hey I already said I want another one for the other side.....LOL
Now I have to see how much the bulbs are on this beast.

So now that I have fallen in love with my Tempest I have a question.
Normally I am not a upsell guy but now I want to consider doing it with my light. Normally I will take 2 to 4 Star Balls and a Jelly Fish light or Lazer at no price increase.
So I just recently set up the Tempest in front of my DJ booth in my office and off to the side set up my crank stand with 4 pocket scans on it. When i do my presentation to my clients I will show them what I usually take at no additional cost then i will demonstrate the Tempest and then the Pocket Scans. Any advice on what would be a reasonable extra charge for each additional light system.
If a Bride and Groom would like to add the Tempest what would you tack on to your fee?

I am not saying you will do this but one of the worst things a DJ can do is throw in lights just to get the Gig. That sets bad precedents. When you upgrade you should charge more. I try to get my return in 10 or less Gigs/times that I use the newly purchased equipment.
I don't believe in the statement some use that say "If I have it I won't charge more!". My question to those is "If you have a Limo service and you are charging a certain price, would you keep that price the same if you started offering Stretch Limos?"
If you have a hard time figuring out what to charge you should consult with your accountant who can best advise you what you need to do for a successful Business!
It's logic (I'd like to think). I have some lights that I roll with my show - but if you want the big bad boys, y'er gonna pay fer it.
I remember seeing the Tempest a few years back and thinking, Good grief...I could just bring that light and that would be my entire light show! Never saw it in action until now, though. I see that my thoughts were dead on. Man, that's a cool light!
