Need help starting a setup. Budget is currently around $400

I like the Colorstrips. Super bright and wash a room easily. I have two linked together and make for a great effect. Plus versatile! You can go horizontal or vertical with these. Grab those and maybe a majestic would be a great start.

@Synaxis - Ahh didn't know about that one, thanks for pointing it out!

Ok here is a picture with a Colorstrip Mini and an ADJ Majestic on a T-Bar:

What I will be doing soon is upgrading that Colorstrip Mini to apparently now the COLORband™ PIX... DMX it the the Colorstrip Mini and wash the wall behind me with the Mini. Then I also have 2 ADJ Triballs on my speaker stands.. those will be upgraded to Chavet Hemisphere 5's and those will also be DMX. Then I just have my ADJ Majestic in there, and will probably add 2 mini lasers or 2 jewl effects.

EDIT: When does the COLORband™ PIX become available for purchase?

DYM, thanks for posting that pic of the Mini. I hear people talking about the mini's & I want two of them for the top of my tree, but no one has ever posted a pic of them that I have seen. It gives me a pretty good idea.

Thanks again & I +rep for that...

Thanks bud, yea you could easily put 2 on the top of a tree... I have the other "branches" for my t-bar but I just don't use them... Just make sure you get 4 O-Clamps for 2 Minis

Well, they were just recently announced at NAMM 2012, and Chauvet has already released some new products. I believe they should be available within a month.
They also have a Half version, called the Colorband PIX Mini, essentially the same length as the ColorStrip Mini.

Like I mentioned: http://www.chauvetlighting.com/colorband-pix-mini.html

You may choose to get two of the minis if you want to point one to the right, and one to the left. Just note that buying two of the minis will cost you $100 more then buying the full sized PIX bar, despite the fact that 2 PIX Minis = 1 Full PIX.

I can't stand those additional branches! They take way to much time to set up then it's worth. I would rather just use another T-bar.

No problem! I just wouldn't want you to buy a product that Chauvet may be discontinuing soon, only to find out a month later that you could have bought something better for your money. I've had that happen...

What's the deal with clips? What else do I need to buy besides the lights/stand? And connectors or pins or crap? Someone said something about an O-clip... Do I need them for each piece of lighting I have?
