Lighting advice wanted

[smartbillr]

Hi all
Im looking for some cheap but ok lights, could you recommend your favourite lights under £100 please to give me some ideas?
Cheers
Bill

[Corabar Steve]

Acme Wildtech range (a little either side of the £100 mark) some nice basic plug & play lights

njd datamoon 99 quid each

Acme Puma, same price as a datamoon but according to some these now boast better build quality, got £189 go to DJkit and get two + dmx controller for £189

I wouldn't recommend having more than one pair of lights that are under £100, for that bit extra (£30-50) you can get some better units which will spread the dance floor better.

Having said that, if you only do very small venues, 4 or so £100 effects might do.

If spending the extra money, look at the Acme Winners/Rovers for about £135 these days. - Good lights, great control via DMX, and bright too.

Thanks for the advice, it gives me something to go on

Although I no longer use them, my all time favourite budget lighting has to be MUSHROOMS (http://www.terralec.com/prod.asp?i=18061&1=BLOWSTAR_MUSHROOM_(AC135B)).

You can get them for £50 each, and each light gives out 600 watt light output. A pair of them can fill a room. Very cheap and very good value for money.

Hope it helps!.

:agree: They are very effective, but can be noisy and get very hot (to touch that is) and certainly a good one to start with.

These are my favourite non-DMX light too! I have two of them, still use them on occassion (for small, lazy events).

I think you can even pick them up for £40. TLC Direct :)
