I need two new special effect lights...

[DJChas]

I do small to medium gigs. No scanners, moving heads or DMX, just two special effect lights that are cool. So much out there! I wanna drop about $200 per light. So $400 total, give or take.

Any advise?

I was thinking Revo 3 or Vue 3...which one is better? Also what else...

Thank you

I'm thinking about getting the Revo 4 .. I love the effects .. and it's not much more ($250)

I like my Revo 3, but would like to get the Revo 4 as well to compliment it thru the night.

Look for lighting that you can control via the UC3 controller.....it adds some control and variability to your show.

I know you said no scanners but honestly, these would smoke what you're looking at: Chauvet Intimidator scan led 200 - $250 each at Guitar Center.

Another light that would fit into your budget would be ADJ Tri LED Aggressor. It's a basic, plug-n-play without much control, but for only $125 or so, it's a good center piece. Almost all DJs started out with one of these and a Vertigo.

I like watching Brian's reviews since he really tears the light down and digs into them. I think he's got one on the Vertigo LED as well.

But that one's $400 by itself .. The OP was looking around $200 each

Its on sale for a little less at the moment and this light is basically 3 lights in one.

 

[DJChas]

Ok, so I'm going to up my price budget. If I can spend $800 total, what two lights would you get?

 

[drzinc]

I would still go with my original suggestion and the light below.

 

[Jon Tuck]

gotta get some of those fancy lights

 

[DJChas]

Ok, I already have the H20. So the DJ Fusion FX 5 and what else?

I think it all depends on what you want to accomplish with them. Lighting can be very subjective. What looks cool to me maybe isn't cool to you, etc. (With a teenage daughter I'm getting pretty used to being "not cool", but I digress). That being said, because lighting is artistic it comes down to what you want for your show. We are authorized dealers for every major lighting manufacturer in the US and I could probably put together quite a list of effects, but I might miss the mark.

I can probably help stretch your budget a bit though as this is "show" season and we have MBLV show specials still going, and soon we'll have a few other shows with more specials.

Wow - a triple post! Try that one fella's! (and all I did was hit 'post reply' one time). Can I get a few more things 3x over by doing 1x the work? I'm playin' the slot machines tonight! (prolly be more like put in 3x the amount I win back)



Hey, one of my triple posts disappeared. Must be the tax man taking his percentage!
