Right now I was thinking of getting 1 to 2 more light along with either crank stand to put all the lights on or 2 separate light stands to go on the right and left sides of the setup.

Right now we have all Chauvet lights. The Cube X, Cirrus, LED Mushroom and Vue 11. Now with that being said if you were to add one or 2 lights to those lights what would you choose? Also would you just use one lighting truss crank stand to put the lights on or use 2 light stands to put the lights on? Thanks to all that can help.

I agree the Revo 4 is a fine fixture. I bring it with me more often than not.

Mr. Z... where do you project the light? Ceiling, wall, dance floor? Same question to Steve 149.

I, too, am looking for a centerpiece light. I have plenty of the old non-LED "spin-n-puke" lights. But I do have two Vue 1's that I often project. Bliss Light 15 is another standard for events where they don't want to pay for lights--aim it above the dance floor.

I suppose the Vue 3 is similar to the Revo 4; dots vs. squares.

I'd go for the new double spot (Chauvet Intimidator Double Spot) that Steve 149 just posted. However, I don't know if I want to spend that kind of money.

Any other centerpiece lights one might consider.

We also have the Chauvet Cubix 2.0 and the Cirrus. Knowing what the Cubix does, I would second Jon Tuck's recommendation of a scanner of some sort. The Cirrus is a ceiling only light, so I wouldn't mess with any other lasers. Some type of wash lighting might be a good idea to go with what you already have.

Right now we have two tripods that come with us, one keeps the 4Bar Tri and the other has the effects lighting. That being said, we've been using the mounting bolts on the top of the 4Bar to attach lights to as well as an O-clamp around the pole of the 4Bar tripod. One of the upgrades we're looking at this year is picking up a crank stand or two for our lighting. We've had great luck with the Hercules speaker stands, so we're seriously considering their lighting stand as well.

Since the Cubix is quite similar to the Revo and Vue lines, I would advise against getting any of those.

Do you have a basic color wash?
Chauvet Colorstrip (or something similar)

Jon I went and looked it up and it said it was discontinued. There was the X 4 I saw but it was out of my buget. The price I saw was $800.00. Is there a place to get the X2 still? I really think that would be great. I really wish I could get 2 of those along with the Revo 4. Then besides us not having uplighting I think with all of that then that would be some serious lighting effects.

Vue 1.1?

I put mine to the ceiling, aiming to the center of the dance floor.

In my mind, a centerpiece is a big 'WOW' light - for me, this would be something like the American DJ Nucleus, Tripleflex or something similar. Now that's a centerpiece!

I have them - rarely use them. They're ok. :)

I have this too - I put it on top of the truss and aim it straight out. It is 'aimed' above the dance floor, but it is like a 180 degree dispersion.

I can ge the Revo 4 from KPODJ for $200.00 on a pick up. I'll do that and then is there a place still where I can get the X2? On monday though I'm going to pick up the Technical Pro DJ chair that I so badly need.

Mine I project onto the ceiling mostly. Most of my venues are small to mid size with relatively low white tile ceilings and projecting up makes more impact. I usually aim it to point just over the dance floor.

Wes, the round circles and center fill look darn good on the ceiling. What fixture is that doing the "circles", Vue III. What are you using that makes the "puzzle" piece on the ceiling?

Isin't the Revo 4 the one that does the "dots" in square formations?

Thanks for sharing. The music's good, too!

Tigger...I put the Bliss Light on my Yorkville LS801P 18" subwoofer and aim it above the dance floor; sub is centered in front of DJ table. If I use my RCF subs (15") coupled in front of the DJ table, I use a mic stand and raise it up like a speaker stand. I also place a strip of gaff tape across the bottom 1/3 of the bulb so the laser dots don't shine on the Bride's gown. I'm a team player and the photographer does appreciate it. Saves him/her time in deleting the dots. LOL!

I wouldn't buy anything unless I had some "profit" in my pocket. No profit = no gear. YMMV

I use a Vue III and two Martin SFX500's and one Martin EFX500 along with some ColorSplashes for wash.
