LED dot alternatives

I only use a few lights because it's expected. In 2003 i used 6 metre truss with fitting starcloth, 4 mini macs, 4 acrobats and 2 mirror balls and 8 par 56's. In 2011 i use 2 quadzillas! Nobody has noticed!!

Yes. Stand in front of the massed ranks of scanners and barrels of one notable forum member.

Now now peter calm down,we dont use them all on the same rig

Among other FX I use 2 banks of 12 pinspots on stands, the wiring is well hidden and the lights can be dimmed or full on sound to light....had many complements on them.

On pinspots?

I think the hardest critic of any lighting show are those who have one themselves i.e us. I almost out of habit replace most of my effects either annually or as one effect wears out i replace as a pair with the newest one that catches my eye.

But there is not normally anything wrong with the old effects I just get bored of them myself.

Correct. When he turns the scanners on, you can tell they're gobos, not dots!

I'm posting this photo because I think it is relevant to this discussion, I am not taking a pop at the DJ (who shall remain anonymous)

I went to a friends wedding in London recently and this was the finished setup.

When, after the event I mentioned that it was "a bit basic" no-one agreed, they all said they were, (and this included the bride and groom) "very impressed"

Make you wonder why do we bother doesn't it

i can't make out the speakers but i assume they sounded ok as you didn't mention the quality or lack of it, looking at the picture i see a compact rig that could be a little neater have the mixer hidden, but the main thing is everyone was impressed so he has delivered everything the bride and groom were expecting so theres a chance he may get some referrals so in my view the jobs a good un.
