-My idea would be for a lighting box that is approximatly 56" to 60" long and 12" high.
-It would need to be able to be mounted on the top of a T-bar using all 4 bolts and wing nuts.
-It would contain 16 separate lights in all. 2 rows of 8. You could have it with only 8 lights, however then you have 8 open sockets on the co-pilot which will be needed to run this which would not be used. Trust me, 16 is the way to go with this idea. Actually you could have it 2 rows of 4, but have 2 separate boxes, that way each box could be mounted under the T-Bar using 2 Bolts and wing nuts.
Could either be like par cans, or like the Pods whether they be Lunar, or Roto Pods, but the size of the lenses should be the same size that the Pods have. You could have two different models, Par cans which would be cheaper to manufacture, or the Pod type which have the moonflower effect, but at a higher price. It would be a nice thing to be able to aim each individual light so that you could criss-cross the beams of light, but again that might add to the expense of manufacturing.
-The lights could be either 50 or 100 watts. 100 preferably.
-A snap on front and back cover would be a good idea to protect the lights, and keep all the cords enclosed when in transport. Also a carry handle would be good on the case.
-Should be kept as light in weight as possible so as you can be able to mount it on a T-Bar. It's important that it be able to be mounted on a T-Bar as most DJ's don't have truss systems when first getting into the lighting.
-This would be a good piece of lighting for a beginner to get because it would act as a nice base of lighting that he could build onto later piece by piece. It would also attract the interest of people that do have lighting already. I know I would be the first in line for it.
-A light Co-Pilot would be needed to run this. All of the sockets would be used.
You would need to have separate plugs for each light coming out, and have them all color coded so that you could change up the order in which they chase.
-You could sell the whole thing as a package. ei:
the actual light, the co-pilot, and the T-Bar.
Or you could sell them singly.
-Moving mirrors could be installed on the top row of 8 lights. This could be a different model altogether for now though I think a basic one as I have mentioned would be the way to go to see if it takes off or not.
-This would be a real fast way of setting up lights too. Just 1 case to mount which by the way would have to be mounted on the T-Bar while it was on the ground so you could just lift it up after mounted and drop the T-Bar on top of your stand rather than struggling to hold the thing up and mount it.
-Think of it, 16 lights. That's all you would need to have a dazzling light show. I've seen so many DJ's with just 2 or 3 different pieces which gets boring very soon into the evening. 16 lights chasing however will keep interest and provide a nice show especially being able to control the speed of the chase and using the full on, and flash buttons with the help of the co-pilot. I've run this idea by a few DJ's and they seemed thoroughly interested in the idea. Heck if you bought 2 of these and had 1 of them just sitting on the front of your table along with the one on the T-bar, now your talking 32 lights using 16 different channels. You could come up with so many different chase patterns it wouldn't be funny. That would be like lighting at a concert.
JUST A THOUGHT ADJ.
Let me know what you think.
