What are the latest lights?

[Johnnotestine]

Oh your talking about those! Those look like something that been around for quite a while, unless it has the "new" kind led in it. In other words "An improved version light"

Edit: Yes I read it. It does say something about a new L.E.D vs the conventional L.E.Ds. So it's not like my current L.E.Ds DJ fixtures are out of date. They just have improved versions of them.

I don't know how the other discussion went about your lights being out of date, but I am guessing they meant that your lights are out of trend. You are currently using numerous inexpensive effect lights and lasers.

I'm getting a little confused there myself.

I assume you started asking about outdated lights because of this thread http://www.djforums.com/forums/showt...active-via-DMX





I didnt see anyone insult your lights, or suggest you upgrade your led's
what they suggested was that you stop recomending for people to buy outdated lights. you were mentioning specific lights to beginners, and there are much better options out there right now.
as i mentioned, the lighting has changed dramatically in the last 3 years.

this doesnt mean your light show is outdated. if you and your customers are happy, then leave it as is.

but, there are cheaper, brighter, more interesting LED's available now, so why recomend the outdated models of LED's?

Was I recommending? That's the thing. I was just posting examples. I was not actually recommending. I did not directly say "I recommend"

No worries. Lights are being upgraded fast, it's hard to keep up.

I can't wait until this is the standard for DJ par cans and I can actually afford them:

RGBAW+UV, Wireless DMX, and Battery powered!

yes, you did.

I'd like to faciliate all this through dmx, and therefore i need lights which have the ability to trigger sound active mode via dmx, which has been surprisingly hard to find.

Any suggestions?

Colorstrips or colorstrip minis.

What is an example of a cheaper brighter, more interesting L.E.D fixture? Cheaper in price obviously, right.

I upgraded my light rig last year. Went through a few changes. Had one idea in mind and it grew to a grand ultimate vision. Finally have everything I need now for

DJ: 2 setups
Small band
Full light show

Mainly LED, one set of fixture that are still halogen (Martin Minimac Profiles) it involved some planning, some adjustment of that plan as well. There's a combination of wash lights, spin & pukes and moving heads. All DMX control. Cases for everything.

I spent roughly $17k, but I should be good for awhile.

[allensmusic]

I still have some halogen lights in my show, and they are just fine.
I certainly do not recommend, suggest, or mention the name of them here.

So my question is:


What replaces the colorstrips??
