DJ & disco lighting is an area that can either make or break a night. A good DJ needs a good light show and there is always the danger of turning a classy function into something that looks like a bad attempt at a Phoenix Nights cheesy disco. We believe that less is more when it comes to lighting. You can have 4 lasers running alongside 4 scanners with 4 moving heads and 2 moonflowers a strobe and the kitchen sink if you must, but the effect you get with this kind of setup may not suit your event. What is more, a big lighting rig requires someone as skilled as the DJ to operate it in order to get the most out of it, so this may also not be suitable for many situations where you might just want something easy to control that produces a nice effect.
We do a few different packages of kit based around a combination of American DJ, Chauvet & Martin lights. Our basic package is a pair of American DJ Quad Phase lights which are enough for some events in brighter rooms. These come supplied with a T Bar tripod stand and suit weddings and similar smaller events. We also have 3 American DJ pro grade wash light (Theatrix Pro 48) which are extremely powerful and can bathe very large areas in rich, even colours. These can also transform their output through the full 7 colour range in a slow sequence which lets them create subtle atmospheres at your event. Their party piece includes a strobe function and also multi coloured flashing modes for when things are really getting excited. The American DJ equipment list is growing thanks to their excellent new products, but currently we also have 2 Quad Phase LED, 2 x Revo 4 LED, 1 x Nucleus PRO centrepiece scanner and all the requisite remote controllers for easy operation for inexperienced users.
We have 2 Lasers in stock- a Laser UK Blue Accord & also a KAM StarCluster 3D. Both of these Lasers produce dramatic effects which can fill an entire Marquee with moving light if required.
A combination of these products is enough for most events with crowds up to 300 people, but for when things get bigger than this our final collection of lighting can make a big difference. Martin Mania LED scanners are some of the best on the market and look fantastic when used as a set. We have invested in a total of 4 of these outstanding units, and they provide a final visual impact to a show to really wow a crowd, but without looking anything other than smooth & classy.
Add one of our smoke machine to these pieces of kit to get the best visuals.
In a DJ scenario we use our Kam 8 foot DJ stand with integrated lighting bar to assemble our light show. This makes for a compact, small footprint DJ stand which looks the business but doesn’t take over the entire room.
Here’s a few example shots of a setup for a wedding featuring 3 x Theatrix Pro LED 48s, 2 x Quad Phase LED, 1 x LaserUK Blue Accord & a 900watt QTX smoke machine. This is a premium light package comprising over £2400 of kit, and as you can see it is capable of a surprising array of different looks and routines.
