How many lights?

[Corabar Steve]

No no advice required, just a question.

You're working in a room around 8-10 ft wide by 20ish ft long. How many lights would you use?

probally 1x star cluster - for coverage

then poss 2 x quad flower - have them set to fill the room

Couple of jelly domes and KAM gobolaser.

[Shaun]

1xpowerbar

Agreed. Quality not quantity. With one controlled Wizard, you can do exactly what you want.

[DeckstarDeluxe]

Two EFX 600s or if I was to buy equipment to suit more than likely go with one of the parbar products.

[Excalibur]

1xpowerbar

A perfectly suitable solution. Or the two moonflowers I have. Or two EFX500s. From your description Steve, it's not a big room, so wouldn't need a lot.

The audience/type of function has a bearing also. Powerbar is probably the most versatile option, added to which, if there's little or no ambient lighting, you're covered. I've lit large halls with only a Powerbar before, no problem.

More than one?

Agree with the above, quality not quantity. I've done a 16th before in a venue that was a similar size, but I didn't know anything about in advance. I took 2 x Jellydomes, 2 x Cougars, 2 x LED Mirror scanners and a small cluster laser. Luckily I had all the fixtures under DMX control as with everything on it just looked a royal mess! Under DMX control it gave me loads of different effects to play with and on average I had between 2 and 3 fixtures on at any given time.
