DJ Gig Log | New Uplights | Rockville Rockwedges | Company Holiday Party | 12-14-20

This is a company Christmas Party that I DJ for every year. I used my new uplights, the Rockville Rockwedges on this gig and they looked stunning! They already booked me again for next year.

[@PapaRay922]

Props for getting all your equipment with 1 load-in/out. Such a time saver! I, too, have rockwedges but to save space, I used the remote. Mine would sometimes not link with the main light, so I decided to go with Ape Labs. I've kept the rockwedges just it case I need more lighting, but I absolutely love my Ape labs. Great gig log! Keep em comin!

[@DJ2Legit007]

Yes the remote for my Rockwedges is nice too! I just prefer the W2 dmx controller. Haven't had any issues at all so far. Yeah the Ape Labs are super nice. Congrats!

[@johncolon8614]

Thanks for the gig log and Rockville uplights review.

[@villanousspyder405]

One of the few set ups I liked out of a bunch of other Dj's watch 💣💯🔥

[@DjPositiveP]

Lights look great! Thanks for sharing!

[@djerniet350]

Great show, I just ordered some rock wedges and a controller hope they all work when they get here. Yep first in and last out. Everyone always ask if they can help me, I say thanks for asking but no thanks. I can go much faster doing it my self.

[@logisticalstyles]

I'm slowly buying the Rockwedges a couple at a time. I'll be getting the controller eventually as well but the remote control in master/slave mode is good enough for now. These lights are really a great value at $109 each.

[@mrgrip2010]

Thank you brother

[@DJCoolThing]

Fantastic Job!! JI'm Glad Everyone Enjoyed Themselves.

[@weddingdjMN]

Nice setup! I’m thinking about the Rockwedges. How have they held up? Battery life, reliability etc?

[@orkestratedbeatz5285]

Great video! Love your efficient set up. Wireless is the way to go. How did you attach your gig bar to the evolves? Did you use a clamp or is there an extra hole on top of the speaker to add a short light pole?

[@DJ2Legit007]

Super easy. Just purchase the EV-50 light mounts and you're good to go. So easy to use! www.ebay.com/itm/Evolve-50-Top-Mount-Light-Bracket-1-3-8-By-Boogie-Teck/273999914727?hash=item3fcbaae6e7%3Ag%3Awn8AAOSwo8NcsSZ4&fbclid=IwAR1TSRFowrOTyx-lN6w0SqD-56iqMTcvNSUliNfBoMZgz4fGBCbmbxNrEbs

Man!!! How are you getting gigs through this pandemic? I'm a dj in Philly, and my gigs stopped in April...Proud of you keep on grooving!!!

[@DJ2Legit007]

My gigs stopped in March but then our city reopened in June and I was able to start gigging again. Our governor started a new 11pm curfew recently though that has killed a lot of my recent gigs. Good thing I still have my weddings and private parties.

[@jtjt4827]

northeast governors suck. the south barely slowed down.

[@john-carlosynostroza]

Great video! Are those for bar lights strong enough to use as front-lighting, wash lighting, for a 15ft wide stage for a magic show I do? Like, if I had one on each side raised up and angles right would I be able to get a decent wash with them and then use them for some of the dance numbers me and my girls do? If so, I will probably purchase these this week and then a 4 pars to use as back lights and possibly Footlights. Let me know your thoughts about using them as a white wash light. Thank you!

[@john-carlosynostroza]

Thanks for hearting my question. When you get a chance, let me know with an answer. Thanks and keep up the good work!

[@DJ2Legit007]

I think so. Before I became a DJ, I purchased these 4 bars to light up my band. I saw another band using them and I loved how they lit up the stage and the band members. A 15 ft stage isn't that big so I think a pair of 4 bars with some additional par lights on the floor should be plenty. The only problem is the 4 bars have been discontinued by Chauvet. Good luck!

[@wedomusic.]

SWEET =)

[@jambitch]

Good shit..

[@wesleyhyland3141]

Awesome info bro. Are the uprights Rockville rf4? They now got ir4 from both that are more expensive. Does remote work with them if I slave them? Do I have to do each light to set them to sound mode? Sorry for all the questions. Lol you rock man.

[@DJ2Legit007]

The uplights used in this video are Rockville Rockwedges. If you have question about the new Both IR4 lights, you should watch Rick Webb's video on them. He answers all the questions about them.

[@delmarray1147]

What way do you have your lights is there a certain way for them to set up

[@DJGALAXYPRODUCTION]

Question do you keep your lights up all night at every gig that you do? Do you have them dem them or turn them down to showcase the up lights and your lighting on the Dance floor?

[@DJ2Legit007]

I try to always dim the house lights right before the dancing starts so they can see my uplights and dance lights better.

[@rigomortisfxstudios]

[@louprimo6062]

Do you have signal interference with the Rockville’s? Do they communicate with each other properly not losing wireless signal? Just curious.

[@DJ2Legit007]

No signal interference whatsoever. These things have been rock solid and worked flawlessly on every single gig these past 2 years. I HIGHLY recommend them and the batteries last freagin forever!

[@XIDOOSTUDIOS]

How much do you charge for a set up like that and how many hours of dj ?

[@rommelespiritu2705]

How do you program those lights with adj DMX bridge

[@antoinebuchanan4442]

Those lights r fire....did u have a transmitter on each wedge light

[@DJ2Legit007]

Thanks! No, each light has a built in wireless receiver.

[@marksalotsalot]

You can separate your 4 bar and wedge on one controller. The different fixtures don’t have to be together

[@DJ2Legit007]

Yes exactly. I have them on separate channels.

[@marksalotsalot]

@@DJ2Legit007 yeah but they’re not being controlled separately. People eating at a table enjoy the ambiance of the up light shouldn’t have to endure the whole room changing color.

[@DJ2Legit007]

@@marksalotsalot I do control them separately. In this video I showed all the lights doing a slow chase program while the guests were socializing, not eating. I did that just for the video to show you all it was possible. After I captured that video coverage, you will notice in the next scene, the lights were back on a static color.

[@borg386]

Question. If you only had "8" uplights, how would you position them in a room this size? Would you have them in the dance floor area. Or behind you, or some other place? I only have 8 so far, that's why I'm asking. Thanks for any answers!

[@DJ2Legit007]

It depends on your goal objectives. Will you be using any other lights too? Did your client pay for uplighting? If client paid for uplighting and that's all you have then you need to place all 8 around the room. If you don't have any other lights and client did not pay for uplighting, then I'd put 2 on my table pointing on the dance floor, 2 behind me and 4 around the dance floor to help with the dancing atmosphere.

[@djandrewmichael]

Can I ask what wireless DMX system you re using and what brand dmx controller that is? Thanks

[@DJ2Legit007]

Rockville Rockwedges uplights with their Rockforce W2 DMX Controller.

[@hectorcortez1811]

Any updates with the Rockville uplights? Battery issues? Battery life after so many gigs?

[@DJ2Legit007]

I am happy to report that these lights are still working great! No issues whatsoever!!!

[@sazprodj]

Is this still a good DJ uplight. Thanks for the demonstration.

[@DJ2Legit007]

Yes it is but I think the uplights from Both Lighting are a much better option for mobile DJs.

[@sazprodj]

Thanks for the suggestions. These look brighter than IR 4 but BOTH is overall better. Sometimes customers require brighter up lighting.

[@DJ2Legit007]

@@sazprodj I did a side by side comparison. I didn't see much difference at all, but that's just me. 😊

[@djtut_clt5236]

Hey My Friend, I’m am a regular viewer of your gig logs and they are always informative. Just curious, are you still happy with & regularly using your rock wedges? As of now, they are about as reasonably priced as it gets for uplights with decent features. Did you have to put a wireless receiver in each uplight? Really would appreciate your input before I make a purchase. Please keep up the great work!

[@DJ2Legit007]

Thanks! I sold my Rockwedges last year. I now use the Both IR4 and the Both RF4 uplights because they are much smaller but just as bright. Plus they are extremely affordable. No, I didn't have to put a wireless receiver in the Rockwedges because they're built in.

I bought a DMX controller from rockville, used it 2x then sold it. My saved scene was getting deleted. I don't know if I had a bad controller.

[@DJ2Legit007]

It's interesting you mention that. I experienced it too when I first started programming my lights. Then I turned off the power and turned it back on on the DMX controller and my scenes came back and I never had that problem again. I love my Rockville DMX controller. It's been rock solid so far.

[@steadymanos]

@@DJ2Legit007 while business is slow I recommend that you continue to using the DMX controller to see if it doesn't happen again. Mine did it at my gig but I had plenty of time to create a screen..

how did you mount to the top of your speakers? ive never seen that before.

My mannnnn! You probably have the smartest, simplest, most effective setup i have ever seen! Good job, and im pretty much sold on those Wedges - for the price and what you get out of them - WOW. I had this crazy idea though to put 4 of them on a custom made "4bar" using a tripod so my dance floor wash will be completely wireless as well.

[@DJ2Legit007]

Thanks! You certainly can do that and it should work great! My Chauvet 4-bar system basically does just that, but they don't make the 4-bars anymore. I love the 4 bars because they are so lightweight. I use a wireless dmx receiver on them and it works great!
