I have to say adding some lights in the right venus can add a lot to a preformance. Sometimes its not worth the extra setup work but in the right situation a big plus. I brought a cheap rotating led fixture to a DJ gig and used it sparingly so that when it went on people really noticed and enjoyed it.
A nice colored light on a preformer can be very effective too. again in the right venue.
Donny I think you should get a gig at GC !

I have a Bob The Flame, just order a new orange bulb for it from Planet DJ - I love it, but rarely get the chance to use it. The audiences love it too. If you'll recall, there was a guy that frequented this forum who performed down south at Hilton Head Island and used a pair of these. His forum name was "The Pro." Nice guy, and I purchased one of the light right after i saw his setup. When you're playing tiki bars at night, this particular light is a real asset and the audiences loved the mood it created as well.



I sincerely believe that proper lighting is one of the things that is often overlooked by OMB-Entertainers. Not just the lighting of the keyboard so you can see the controls better, but lighting of the entire venue. I've performed in places that the lighting was so intense that it was like performing in a gymnasium during a basketball game. Ask the manager to dim the lights to something very subtle, put some flickering candles on the tables, and the entire mood of the room changes to one where people want to get up and dance when the music comes on. Highlight the performer/player with accent lighting that flows with the music and the mood swings toward the positive side even more. Yeah, it's one more piece of gear to carry, but those lights are compact, very lightweight, and rugged. Some weigh less than that bottle of water you pack around. wink

Cheers,

Gary cool

I use 2 4 bar LCD. Units and control them by DMX and a foot pedal. I use for larger and outside concert events they work very good .

Ron I would love to see a video of these lights being used in your show sometime to get an idea of how they look to the audience.

Lights are good as "presentation" is everything.
