So I had an awesome opportunity to do some uplighting for my work convention. We bought 10 ADJ Mega Par Pro's for uplighting and other needs. They bought the lights for their work band and decided to use them at the convention. I did all the lighting stuff and it was fun! I had 10 to work with and for the opening reception I used 6 pars along the back wall and 4 for the band on a T bar:
Note: The pictures did not turn out and do not do justice at all to the lights, looks much better in person!

Lights for the DJ = 4 ADJ Mega Par Pro's on the T bar, 2 mega par's behind uplighting the wall (kinda worked with the lights on) and a color strip mini on the table.

Review:
The American DJ Mega Par Pro lights were AWESOME! Very easy to use and had lots of color. The picture above do not do justice at all as it looked much better in person. Also the walls I was shining them on were not white, they were a yellow cream color so color did not come as well but it worked out well. The power linking capability on these lights is pretty sweet and works well. I used it for the T bars, the only thing I would change for the T bar set up would be to have the power link cables shorter like 3 ft or less, I was using 6ft cords and it was too long!
Also the hot spots that you see in the pictures, they do not show up to the naked eye like that, it was solid color and looked great, the camera somehow sees all the hot spots, I actually used the camera to make sure the lights were similarly aimed and the hot spots were the same all around ;)
Like stated earlier, these are not my lights but I bought them for my work company to use for their band and figured a mega par pro pack would work best as they can use it for uplighting as well as par cans. They were happy with it and so was I. I will probably be buying a whole bunch of these fixtures in the future as money becomes available. I hate having 3 super expensive hobbies, cars, guns and dj stuff!
