Joee if i go with this setup how many of each should i get or which ones should i get?

you could mount this www.chauvetlighting.com on this pole www.chauvetlighting.com

that makes a nice effect ……..the rest is up to you

Yes I think that'll be pretty dope. Everyone loves the Gigbar and I'm very happy with the Spot Duo 150. Add ShowXpress and you'll be even more happy.

Yea it's free to download and you can control most fixtures in 3D and purchase the box if you like it.

DJFREE,What you think about the Motiondrape, wave 360 & the Geysers? Is this overkill

honestly i think


than add some uplighting witch ever one fits your budget

www.chauvetlighting.com

www.chauvetlighting.com

www.chauvetlighting.com

that would be a very nice lighting show & is very portable

Wave 360 you'll need fog....Motiondrape....NOPE....Geyser is pretty cool....but it's not a necessity....start with an all in one type of fixture....Chauvet 4bar Tri/Gigbar.....then build...IMO

ok thanks,

you good you can get a nice show cheaper

Intimidator™ Spot Duo 150 list $699

GigBAR™ IRC list $450

$1150


Freedom™ Par Quad-4 $330

X10 $3,300

for a total of $4,450

now these are list prices, evey single light can be had cheaper i just bought two gigbars for $340 each

the other uprights are even cheaper & you don''t need ten to start , you can get a really nice lighting system for around $3,000 maybe less

cool....so i only need to buy 1 gigbar and 1spot duo plus a few of the others & scrap the rest..thanks JOEE

IMHO for a mobile dj it's the best way to go peep

the gigbar goes in this bag www.musictrends.com

the spot dual goes in here www.chauvetlighting.com

& the uplight go here www.chauvetlighting.com

@ res-q

I've never used these but have seen them in action once ,it's ten lights with a charging case & dmx interface

www.aliexpress.com

i'll look into that also,i'm doing a Hollywood theme party in Miami on August 21st, trying to do a great light show.I had a revo 4 & a few laser but got rid of em because in Jax,fl they really never request lights

I leaning towards getting 2 chauvet spot duo, 2 chauvet gigbars & mount them on a truss.. the spot duo's on the end with the gigbars in the center, and 3 or 4 of the uplights

the gigbar comes with a stand & the spot dual has a round hole that will mount on the gigbar

peep the video @ 4:50 to see the gigbar in action Watchwww.youtube.com

I just checked it out,1 might do the trick...i'm sold

heres the spot duo 150 Watchwww.youtube.com

the wave you were looking at also looks pretty cool Watchwww.youtube.com

i was looking at the wave 360 irc,didn't know if that would be a clutter of to many lights

yea that can defiantly happen

the gigbar with the spot duo 150 (make sure it's the 150 cause they make another spot duo thats not as bright) with about 8 uplights

either quad 4, tri 6 or ez wedge will make a nice show with simple easy setup , when your ready to buy check with proaudiostar they usually give the best pricing

will do.i'm ordering some time this week.i'll probably start with 1 of each & a few up lights.any suggestions for backdrops?

i don't use one & am not familiar with them but chauvet makes one that seems pretty cool list is $600 www.chauvetlighting.com

Watchwww.youtube.com

i mention that in my first post but DJFREE gave the thumbs down on it. I thought it was cool too

seems to look pretty cool here Watchwww.youtube.com

i should also mention to get the full effect from these lights you will want to get a smoke or hazer machine……my preference is hazer

these are very cool also, but i think there better suited for when some one is walking out, think wrestler walking out to his theme music……lol

^ Chauvet geyser Rgb

yep this is the setup i came up with on my own before making the post:

2 ADJ pocket spot twins
2 Chauvet geyser Rgb
2 Chauvet wave 360 irc
1 Chauvet motions background & facade set

but i think i'm gonna switch out the 2 Chauvet waves for the gigbar

and switch out the ADJ pocket spots for the spot duo 150

@dj red q the backdrops are not versatile....borderline cheesy.....I always use pars or bars behind me or I put a t stand behind me to highlight the dance floor and my gear.

i feel ya, i'm taking in all input & suggestions

post that pic with the bar / spot duo / quad 4 so he can get a idea of what it looks like

that would be very much appreciated....

i decided to go with:

4 Chauvet freedom par hex 4
2 Chauvet geyser rgb
2 Chauvet spot duo 150
2 Chauvet gigbars

thats cool

good choice …..the hex is the best one in the freedom line it gives UV light (black light)

you didn't get the flacon? it allows you to control the light via your phone or tablet Watchwww.youtube.com

your set to go tho, you have a nice little show there when you can keep adding hex 4's the more you have the nicer the room will look, did you order yet?

a beter video explaining the flare con www.sweetwater.com

your set to go tho, you have a nice little show there when you can keep adding hex 4's the more you have the nicer the room will look, did you order yet?

no i didn't order yet,still doing some research on some other things.Biggest debate is to get 1 or 2 gigbars

if you do get one gigbar it seems like you will be able to mount 2 spot duo's on it like in this video www.chauvetlighting.com

i was thinking about mounting them on the pole between my ev 12p & 18

good ideia

i was thinking about mounting them on the pole between my ev 12p & 18 and put the gigbar in the center behind me

i was thinking that too

I rather I have 2 High end Moving heads, Pro wash lighting, 4-6 HEX uprights and DMX software.

defiantly a option in his budget, what do you think for moving heads $1,000 each?

whatever to have a good light show within the budget

Chauvet 355z's.......but he said high end......that's a different discussion.....high end is 2k +......overkill for most mobile dj's

moving head are on another level than the average dj lights, i just really like the ones i recommended

for me as a 90% mobile dj they work great, but a quality moving head show will be much better, peep a video with cheap moving heads Watchwww.youtube.com

i don't recommend inno pockets there not bright just posting it so you can see

got you
www.idjnow.com

Watchwww.youtube.com

I would get a pair of these over duo spots.

www.chauvetlighting.com

www.musiciansfriend.com

A lot of new features that make them easy to use.

I would also get a pair of these (which I personally own)

www.adj.com
www.idjnow.com

You can cover an entire hall with these.

These lights on totems look VERY pro!!!

yeah i can see the difference

The 355Z IRC's are the obvious choice, they are great but getting the 255IRC you will be able buy other lights.

The bars you guys are talking about are excellent and look very nice but they are not for every event. Spend once, cry once.

true, there for your average maybe 200 person party

Here is what I use. This video is when I purchased the floods and truss. I was testing them out in my basement at the time.

Watchwww.youtube.com

I know use DMX software with these lights.

Chauvet 355z's seem brighter but thats the only difference really noticable to me

That's why I like the 255's.

Lol that's the most important thing....I had the Intimidator 250's......I always wanted the 350's.....now I have 355's and I'm very comfortable.....I love seeing people squint their eyes making me dial them down....

you know what i must agree with you here, two of those lights two moving heads & a bunch of uprights around the room would look killer


what do you think about these? any experience with them? www.aliexpress.com

Not bad Joee. I rather get brand name but those look legit.

I also own 8 ADJ DOTZ Pars and 2 ADJ COB UV Cannons (100W each).

I can fill any room size.

i was curious if you've ever used or seen them being used, I've seen them in action once there bright as hell battery powered dmx with a charging case & dmx transmitter for $1,700 basically $170 a light

but there are china lights, but honestly all the lights we use wether adj or chauvet are made in china aren't they?

True. I think some DJ's on DJChat use them are very happy.

I've had the ADJ Inno Roll LED barrel rollers for a couple years now and they are still my favorite fixture. This promo video sold me on them...
Watchwww.youtube.com

i like those

It seems like Chauet lighting is a lot brighter than ADJ

I've had those.....I liked them......but they have some weight to them.....and I like moving heads better.

Seems like the best "DJ" moving head is the Chauvet Intimadator 355Z IRC. Pricing and features are great for those...

I'd have to agree, until moving up to the Martin, Clay Paky, High End Systems level.

Correct... but those are price prohibitive to most of us at $2500+ each. Those 355Z's are less than a grand each. Some places sell them in the $800'ish range.

Friends, don't let friend buy junk:

www.ebay.com
^^^ THIS ^^^ is the reason I try to stay away from the Swarm, Jelly, Quad, Roto and Revo-type fixtures.

what you talkin that was hot back in 1980

:p

LoL

Guy posting that must be on drugs!
80s for sure!

Hey! You can have that paid off after only 4 wedding dances!

& it's a

"COMPLETE TURNKEY DJ EQUIPMENT PACKAGE."

I was peeping the chauvet intimidator 355z. I've also looked chauvet 255 irc. The one thing I like about the 255 over the 355 is totem mode. Where it keeps the lights on the dance floor for you. But at the same time will probably have them dmxed anyway.

The 355 has zooming capabilities

Damn forgot about this.....the motorized zoom is legit!

Since I used all of the lights you mentiioned, here is my opinion based on the customer feedback I got:

- Chuavet intimdator wave 360 (the beams are very and doesn't shows unless you have a fog)
I really does not recommen you 4 in 1 light with 12w only light, instead --> get the 60w chauvet intimidator 255 IRC (looks more professional and you can make a custom gobo.

- Chuavet Geyser (I highly recommended this fog machine) left and right will make a nice effect.

- ADJ Inno Spot (useless) at the near future you will sell it to upgrade (better the 255 IRC)

- Chauvet Motion Drape (I recommended as a DJ back drop) you can hide all your wires behind it and create a nice and neat setup.

Get chauvet Swarm FX5 as a center piece for a good coverage, and you will have a very nice setup (2 Spot 255 irc, swarm fx5, 2 geyser and 1 motion drape) will need to add lighting stand (3x2m) and DJ table as well.

These look very cool. Might be my next purchase.

Watchwww.youtube.com

If anyone goes to the Expo, let me know what you guys think of these.

i'll be there ……will do

I'm really feeling the Chauvet Slimbeam's!
instagram.com

I like the look but they don't seem that bright. Did you find them adequate or will a Chinese equivalent blow it out the water?

The brightness is pretty good...this was a completely dark room which is pretty big...I used them at home in daylight and they did well....keep in mind these are accent lights...I know Ape Lights has some similar (the originator from my understanding) but they're more expensive. On this wall I would probably use 4 uplights (265 a piece) but instead 2 Slim Beams (200 a piece) can do the job.

i say a video were the guy used these light and did two colors per fixture, it looked really nice

this is pretty hot Watchwww.youtube.com do these come in battery powered wireless?

No battery powered ones YET. That's why I only purchased two. I seen this video too. Very impressive!

Watchwww.youtube.com
Watchwww.youtube.com

next year will be the battery powered models ……just when you think you have all the lights you want…….they make something else……haha

You're 100% right! Smh

at least this light has that wow factor……once they see it you say this is part of my advanced lighting show


witch has added cost if you would like to upgrade from the basic lighting show
