Hi Branden,
I’ve started looking into some new lights for my own DJ set up, and with a mediocre budget I’ve spent a lot of time researching and trying to get the best bang for my buck… Here’s some suggestions of stuff I’m planning to get!
Scanner: ACME Dynamic 25 Scan – Acme relaunched this light this year an replaced the 10w LED with a 25w one, it is one of the cheaper scanners and makes, but for my budget it is the best in it’s bracket (from what I have researched) and retails for £165 (http://www.whybuynew.co.uk/lighting-effects/acme-dynamic-25-scan_1.htm)
Par Cans: You can buy some “par bars” which are 4 par cans already put together on a bar and are much easier set up than separate ones retail between £130-200+. For myself personally, I’m looking at just 2 cans so I’m gonna go for the ADJ Mega Par Can – (http://www.amazon.co.uk/American-DJ-LED-Light-LEDs/dp/B005ES7VSW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1377950211&sr=8-1&keywords=American DJ Mega PAR) which retail for £48.
As well as these lights I’m going to get a 4ft, maybe 6ft deck stand which comes with a lighting bar, ADJ MyDMX 2.0 for controlling the lights, and if I have anything left over then I’ll try and get a hazer to make the lights stand out.
My current light set up: ADJ fx 1 bar, chauvet 4 play CL, and a QTX 4 lens led square type effect. Out of what I currently have I would only recommend the chauvet 4 play, but it seems your mini kinta light is kind of similar to it as it’s a room filler, and so it’s probably not much use.
Hope this has helped!
Also – If anyone has any advice or comments on the lights I’ve suggested that would be greatly appreciated as I’m considering getting them – Don’t mean to hijack the thread but would be good to see what other people think! 🙂
