Oh; it depends on if your CDJs/Controller has backlighting or not. If it doesn’t, or has poor lighting, then yes. Personally I would look for something similar to a book-light, just more powerful. Make sure to get those side buttons (Like mic-control and pitch sliders), as well as the stuff in the center. Usually cables shouldn’t be much of an issue unless one of them is notably loose/broken, but in that case one should be taking other precautions to not let it fall out.
