I’d say lights are good. Where smarter lights are better lights. Redesigning my light collection (small as it is) to only incorporate the battery-powered wireless DMX pieces from American DJ. The reason I went solo from the mobile DJ compay I was with, was that my customers wanted a DJ with just sound for smaller parties. With the company it was always a truck, 2 people and light took up most space and definitely most time to set up.
Now some of my customers have started to ask about lights. Since the parties are still too small for full fledged 2-person setups and/or renting lighting gear and I really don’t want to be lugging around all the extra weight, I decided to go with the GO-series with wireless DMX. At least I don’t have to worry about all the cabling anymore.
An upgrade to the Pro version of the software of your liking is ALWAYS a good plan too!
