If you could only use either:

1. a single centrepiece light, or
2. a matching pair of lights

what would they be?

(and I mean standard mobile disco type lighting.... not dream-world wish-list ones :lol:)

In my opinion this would depend on the size of the room.

Last week I did a very very small room and I only used an Impossibled and 2x Par Cans for a Wedding.

2 martin acrobats. With the controller they can do a bit of all speeds. and fill a room nicely.

One EFX500 or two EFX500s

Failing that, a pair of Twister 4 HPs.

You'd need more than one type of truss if you used it often enough :sj:

I think the Martin EFx 500, 600 or Wizard would have it depending on budget.

Not got a lot to spend - two Abstract Monster moons. Retro, but would fill a room no worries.

Often play in small rooms and use only 2 or maybe 3 lights - and have a selection to choose from.

2 x soundlab vastos (been known to use just these)
2 x kam hex a flowers (been known to use just these)
2 x datamoons (been known to use just these)

1 x star cluster
1 x cam derby 2

Is this question referring to lights that we already have?
If so, 2 x Mystic LED's linked togeather.

My knowledge of lights isn't great, but if I could only use one pair, I think it would be a pair of Impossibleds.

1. Impossibled (for large coverage of light)
2. Pair of iMove 250s

One Acme Matrix ( :) - review coming) and something to fill the walls - couple of Dynarocks or iMove 5's.

Mine would be a pair of ImpossibLED's often use this combination when providing Children's Entertainment when you don't need loads of lights.

Last week I did a very very small room and I only used an Impossibled and 2x Par Cans for a Wedding.

Same here, I only needed to use an Impossibled and 2 cans at the Gig I did last Sat, they didn't want disco lighting as such and it wasn't a big room!

I suppose it depends on the size of the room as to what I'd use.

As others have mentioned, Martin Wizard Extremes for me.



One Acme Matrix ( :) - review coming)


Be interesting to read that. Not impressed with it at all. guess if you've got it rigged 4 metres above the dancefloor it'll give a nice effect, but at normal events, I wouldn't be able to get it high enough.

Single ImpossibLed or a pair of Datamoons....all would HAVE to be under DMX control so they can be used for warm-up, slow & 1st dances. :)

I always use a wizard extreme for our smaller venues - works wonders and still impresses clients
