Hello!

My son is interested in getting some lights for his DJ business/live band shows and I was wondering what the most recommended/best online dealers are on the Web!

Thanks so much for your help!

We've got a sponsor here, NLFX who deals in gear. Many of us have purchased from them and they're good people. NLFXpro.com is their website, but I would suggest giving them a call and talk to Ben or Kat...they can help you out.

When one picks a dealer to do business with, you need to consider the history of said dealer. Do they honor their commitment to the customer. Do they BS the customer, then take their money? Do they give PROMPT service and stand by their promises? Do they ANSWER your queries? Do they FIX problems? Do they tell you one thing, then do another?

Absent that... one needs to find another dealer. If you find all of the above, then, do business with them, no matter what the cost.

The OP is talking about Lighting. My suggestion would be if you want to purchase based on a recommendation, a light you have seen at an someone else's Event or on specs that you understand, you can purchase from just about anyone who will afford you good Customer Service and Price. If you have to see a demonstration of the Unit before making a purchase then I would strongly suggest buying from a Local Dealer. To me it is bad manners to go to your local store, take up someone's time to have them demo stuff for you then you walk out and go buy it elsewhere. There is also the issue of wanting a particular product that your favorite Dealer may not be Authorized to sell so you may end up with several Suppliers/Dealers.

Lights are much like cars.
As long as you know what you want, buying it is only a matter of the best price.
The importance of a good dealer is when you DONT know what you want...
so look for someone who is NOT just looking to sell you what they have the MOST of...and are trying to get rid of.
If they're good to you on the sale, they'll be good to you with any other issues that may come up.

I'll add a vote for Ben and NLFX.

I happen to Love KPODJ.com They are great with great prices. I found out that actually that's where Guitar Center and Sam Ash by a lot of their gear they sell. Really nice guys and I've personally picked up things I was buying form them at Joe's house. The price they quote you is exactly what you pay. Most items ship for free. Their prices are super!
