Package Lighting an option for DJs

There's such a vast range of DJ lighting packages available that it's small wonder everyone's looking around for advice on what or just how to choose!It's like every DJ these days is expected to bring lighting effects as part of their mobile disco and event organisers often say right away about the importance of getting the ambience they want through lighting. To help whittle down a decision of what to buy from the vast array of available kits, here's a selection from just one manufacturer - Equinox.

Equinox Lighting Effect Packages has probably the most extensive range and here's three of the best. First off, the Equinox Butterfly Quad. This beauty creates a dynamic multi-beam effect with its two sweeping LED bars, each loaded with four narrow beams that are individually controllable, to produce eight intense and sharp long-throw beams. You get complete control of master/slave functions by its 4-button menu system and the fixture is operational in sound active and DMX modes.

Next, the Equinox Fusion Scan. This baby is a lightweight lighting package with a compact fixture that makes it just perfect for mobile DJ-ing. Its small, sleek exterior houses a 12W LED and features high quality stepper motors. You'll soon get the hang of and achieve great effects from the pre-programmed lightshows that you set to run at any of three selectable speeds. Probably the best thing about The Fusion Scan (EQLED050) is that it can be linked with the Fusion Spot (EQLED008) to create lightshows with synchronised gobos and movements, perfect for mobile DJs, bars and small entertainment venues.

Finally, for the DJ who aims to deliver a room filled with DJ package lighting effects, here's the one from the Equinox packages that's best - it's the Equinox Six Shooter MKII 24 x 3W LED DMX Effect. The 6 lenses produce crisp beams of light that cut through the room, whilst criss-crossing and pulsing to the beat of the music. In addition to the built-in programs there are further control options including master/slave, auto run, sound active or DMX and an easy-to-use single channel mode.
