So you're looking to make some purchases and want some suggestions? Great!

When you make a thread asking for help on this, please include the answers to the following questions so people can better help you:

1) What is your budget?
This is the single most important question because the answer you will receive varies greatly on how much money you're looking to spend.

2) Where are you from?
This helps us know what is available in your area. Different countries sometimes have different brands. This also helps us know what kind of laws or restrictions you will have for things like lasers.

3) Do you work alone or with someone?
Some lifts, truss, etc require more than a single person to put together. This helps us suggest a setup which will work best for you.

4) What do YOU have in mind?
Lighting can be a very personal thing. We all have different ideas and suggestions. If you have specific types of lights you're looking for, maybe a distinct look you want, this is where you put it.

If you are completely new to lighting, you'll want to start with a guide I wrote up to help you understand a bit more than you might already. You can find that guide here: http://www.djforums.com/forums/showthread.php?340-DJ-Lighting-The-Complete-Evolving-Guide
