Lighting ideas

[mbp]

Looking for ideas for a led light to go behind a 4ft Equinox DJ Booth and (yes) it's got a white lycra front!

Suggestions/recommendations welcomed.

And only six quid dearer than the Equinox version.

Sorry, couldn't resist it. I have the Equinox, and they're excellent. However, I'm not sure either would be a good choice, because the lateral spread of light is very narrow. As they're effectively 40" inches long, that might leave dark patches either end.
Can I suggest anything better? As I sit here, basically no. My favourite for this purpose, the Acme Mirrage, (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ACME-Mirage-Twin-Moonbeam-LED/132376711855?hash=item1ed24452af:g:xnwAAOSwNrBZ8iN d) has been discontinued, and this s/h one is over twice the price of a batten.
How about a Jellydome type of effect? They're cheap, and have a lot of ( mayhap too much ) movement and coverage.

Edit:
This sort of thing. (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ACME-Mirage-Twin-Moonbeam-LED/132376711855?hash=item1ed24452af:g:xnwAAOSwNrBZ8iN d)

It all adds up over time. £££

Good point on the dark patches.

2 of these (https://www.djkit.com/marq-lighting/marq-colormax-p18.html)should cover the whole frame nicely.

My understanding is that a COB light will produce a much better light - positioned towards the back of the stand (where you stand) facing forwards.

It should give a much more even spread of light than a bar.

I've only ever seen it tested on perspex panels, but it did look great.

Something like this is what you want: https://www.djsuperstore.com/product/american-dj-dotz-par-cob-led.html

That pretty much looks like an adj mega bar.

It depends how fancy you want to get and how much £££s you want to spend but I've recently switched from using a mega bar to an ADJ hex bar 12 https://www.getinthemix.com/lighting-effects/disco-lights/american-dj-ultra-hex-bar-12_1.htm?opt=28912&gclid=CjwKCAjwhOvPBRBxEiwAx2nhLmNlGGv-EdCaJ_yDFvDZBTsi6GY4HOmAKgPEPMGMAYD8s7ZugPBYoxoCqL EQAvD_BwE and you can do so much more with it even without DMX.
