Question time. . . .

In order of time purchased:

1. Verti-Pro's. One of the first pieces of lighting that I owned was a pair of verti-pro's. I agree with the Clip-Up man. Easy setup, fills the room, and they look really complex! I bought the "pro" versions because of the DMX capability which came in handy when I finally bought a DMX controller. A rave promoter used to rent my verti-pro's and other small effects once a month for about a year. The cash from that made the money for me to swith over to DMX.

2. American DJ DMX Control Products. It's kind of broad I know. If it were not for AMDJ, we would all be using expensive NSI systems for dimming, and that's not even DMX! I made the switch from using hard wired dimmers to DMX for my stage lighting about a year ago. I started small with two dimmer packs and a DMX operator. (which also controlled my soon intelligent lighting rig). The system was flawless for my small 8 can system. I made more money by looking more professional with real equipment. I soon bought four more dimmer packs, a scene setter 48, and 16 Par 64's. The system is really versatile. The affordability of AMDJ DMX products really turned my lighting hobby into something that makes me money.

3. Mighty Scans. I was able to purchase four before they were discontinued. For the money they are the best intelligent light out there. What other intel gives you 20 colors and 20 gobos, addition to scrolling and split color effects? (in a fixture about the size and weight of a cinder block). I've used my mighty scans for raves, concerts, youth camps, and small theatre gigs. The scanners are a really great purchase and are "worth their weight in gold". It's a pity they were discontinued.

1. Vertigo. My first, and still my favorite, for all the reasons everyone already knows.

2. Rotopod. Less hassle than a mirror ball. Inexpensive too. I dig the case design.

3. The Reflex. How can you not love a gift! And it's just all over the place with color!

Now, if we're talking wish list:

1. Four Concepts-1s.
2. Hexstar
3. Two Tri Fecta lasers.

1 Vertigo
2 Par cans for fill
3 Mirror ball w color DMX 150's

1.Pars on a lite-puter dimmer. Dunno why they just look better with dimming and sequencing than on a ragular chaser.
2.avenger/derby effect
3.blacklight/strobe effect (for the kiddies)

accu spot 250 why they are just awesome I have four and wish I had 8

pocket scans why the ability to hang in the air on truss of course, and do all the amazing things with them, I have to but wish I had 8

with these two there is no doubt that they are a force to be respected among mobile d.j.

with my limited knowledge on the subject and the thought of what i want to do...
here is the list... not necessarily in order

several Accu Spot 250
1 DMX Operator Pro
at least 10 LS-50/A
20 Opti-Par P ETL
several Warp 250
and some par cans for 20 foot ceiling to be installed... this is an installation..
some of these UV Canon
buch of these: 64 Combo

sorry, could not limit myself to only 3... so much good stuff here...

yes. . . but the topic and questionairre is 3 so pick THREE
This can't be all the people who know about lights. . . .come on take a minute, and answer the question.

Pocket Scan
Virtigo
Laser Widow

Wow! Interesting question, I'd have to say

4 pocket scans (run them now and wonder how I ever did it without them)

1 trifecta (Nice laser with selection plus Pocket scan lasers are weak)

1 250 watt dmx strobe (What's a club w/out a strobe?)

This is currently what I run and I actually had to ask myself that very same question. The deciding factors were,
1. What will give me the best effects for the money.
2. How versitile/tough are the effects.
3. How compact are the effects.
4. what kind of cases are available throuh MFG.
