[@davetilley7212]

[@joeybland2933]

what non moving spots do you recommend?? im working on a light shpw for a rock band. thanks

[@user-pp5kr9yd9r]

Great informative video. thanks a lot. I want to buy a couple of lights for house parties. I won't be using DMX , just sound-to-music . what moving lights would you recommend? I think spots are the best for me . What ones are you using here ? thanks

[@JL-cu8rh]

nicely explained!!

[@himalsingh2628]

Thank you for this👌

[@Technotranceism]

Interesting and good thing to know 👍

[@killer1479]

interesting, i was actually looking into getting a wash lamp, pretty much the same as the 4 LED one you have but by another company so it can accompany my martin mini mac profile and my BEAMZ S2000 RGB smoke machine :) so, this video summed it up pretty well for me, and by the look of it, the lamp/s themself seem pretty small in size ?

[@PuertoRicoDJ]

My friend.. Thank you very much!

[@seanhatch6415]

is there a way to get the fog effect of seeing the beam without using fog?

[@marcelsimons2344]

hi, thanks for this. I was looking for this information. But I have a question. I want the beam / spot or wash get wither-smaller ( narrow) by DMX. So manipulate the angle of the beam, according to the musik. Do you know what scanner / movinghead or other effect can do this in hight speed ? Thanks in advanced. Marcel

[@Bovorn.S]

Very Clear :)

[@ZuckleNewberg15]

Do you have the link to the spot stage light that you got? and where i can buy it thanks.

[@WelcomeLuiz]

Amazing

[@philipchehade2625]

Hi Brian - thanks for the informational video. What brand of lighting are you using here? I am currently researching different brands, and was hoping you might have some insight on imported brands such as Lixada and UKing. I am new to the DJ game and would like a lower cost setup as I get going. Thanks!

[@keithfaulk1354]

Witch one would be the best for a disco ball?

[@goodnewsep7366]

Is 2 spot (moving), 2 wash (moving) and 2 strobe wash (bar) good combo?

[@RokDAWG1]

I think an awesome wash (moving or static) and between two to four moving head spots will cover pretty much anything

[@djrukusvibe]

thanks brian

[@FrankyCee]

Hey Brian... Thanks for the Video. Very helpful!!! Greetings from Germany :-) You really helped me with my decision. now i have 4 into pocket spots and i love them. Also the hint with the 4 bag. Great!!!!! Keep it up ;-)

[@nilsnrevents4956]

I use 4 Stairville MH-X25 because of the rotating gobos. By the way I'm from Germany too :)

[@SchindlerGamer]

Did you use fog so you could see the light beam???

[@DikDimKar]

I would like to ask you what brand are the lights you show! Thank you!

[@kdiscotech]

Nice. I think beams is for clubs while wash and spots is more for djs. Great video

[@briansredd]

k discotech Yes, that's the most practical for sure. Beams are very hot right now. You see them on TV quite a bit on stage shows like "Talent", "Idol", voice, and award programs. If you can incorporate them into a mobile production, it's very cool stuff. However, the no-fog alternatives are probably best for most.

[@kdiscotech]

Every lighting fixture I like needs fog. I hate that. It's a big shame. .

[@photonpilot__]

k discotech exactly same here. I love the Elation Platinum Beam Extreme 5r! :)

[@fatgirlsaresexy]

DV events DV didn’t need fog back in the day when smoking was allowed in clubs

[@TheCyanideBreakfast]

I don't have a lot of money for lighting, what lights would be a main necessity for mobile DJ's. I currently have the Chauvet swarm 5fx.

[@rogietraigo8699]

wow thank you i understand now

[@chromemusic4401]

Damn! 8 moving heads.

[@nancyrouse8287]

Yes she was very informative and I appreciate it because I have been looking for now I know it’s called a spot projector I guess

[@calebbarnett3049]

I'm thinking about getting some of these there so little and cuite. XD even though I work on professional lighting equipment I can play with these at home.

[@FrequenciaJogos]

Yes. I'm not into "lighting industry" (I mean, I not work with that). But seems that this small lights fits the need for an "home setup"... But, seems to be discontinued. Did you know any alternative?

[@seandoyle778]

Any videos of mini spots AND mini wash fixtures running together? I have 8 mini spots and I am thinking about buying 8 mini wash fixtures, if I link them all together will the colors on the spots run the same as the colors wash. (gobos and wash same color) ??? any videos???

[@cautivonorteno]

Thanks for the video, has a question. Is there a huge difference between a 30 watt and a 50 watt moving head light? Any info would be great

[@darcyduncantech]

Mainly, it is just the brightness. The more watts usually means the brighter the fixture will be.

[@princelonetonegmusic5413]

Kindly explain to me how i can unlock an LED Moving Head. It's not rotating but its responding to other commands from the channels

[@AVENUENIGHTS]

Great breakdown. Thank you! X A X

[@mm-2018]

Nice record collection imagine having the dollar amount for the actual cost of each one still payday

[@ivanng2014]

sorry, I'm a newbie in a production house. are fogs needed to make the aerial effect?

[@Jake-hn2wk]

ivanng 2014 yes

[@mahalabhishek2797]

How do we control the pattern of those effects?

[@stevekorte6135]

nice demo....

[@scot3176]

What type of lights did you use?

[@OwlStudio73]

Brian, where can I order the inno beam Q4s..chasing 2 please

[@joemug4079]

I have one not working, but can’t get the fuse out.

[@ticool2010]

What's the name and model of your beam & spot?

[@ziajunaidi2023]

Thanks

[@darrellsteele8869]

Hi does anyone know the lights used in this video?

[@JULZEMSLOKS]

Which is better for say like a bat signal... I want to use one on top of my offroad trailer so when wheeling at night we can always find our way back to camp ..

[@ShaneMoneyBaby]

Another great video scratching right where I itch! Looking back on my past year of weddings, all of my "excitement lighting" makes the reception look like a rave. Now looking forward, some future clients like this effect and some asked if i could tone it down. I noticed in past videos you use full size Inno spots at weddings which cast beautiful designs. What do you prefer to use this year? Coupling some washes with that? I'm so close to buying new stuff, but wanted to ask my youtube hero what he thought first! Thank you SO MUCH, Brian, for any input. :)

[@briansredd]

I've always used some kind of wash fixture with the heads. You just don't see it very well from my camera's point of view. Your comment about "rave" lighting at a wedding is a problem I think a lot of DJs have. Maybe less rave & more circus midway lighting sometimes :P Effective lighting is something that I should probably do a video on sometime.

[@jonnysantiyan3605]

by me party lights

[@christofermartinez2186]

ShaneMoneyBaby ture his video is good i agree

[@djnshyap3610]

Hi, Can I use 1 from each "Wash"and "'Sparky"' or will it look odd...for a Indoor Event??

[@maritimefilminguk]

You usually use 2 of each type of fixture e.g. 2 spots 2 washes, this would look great. Put spots on M and S1 and then put washes on S2. Just shout if you want more help or visit www.liteitup.ga thanks

[@djnshyap3610]

Thanks a lot for your guidance. May I ask with minimum equipment how can I get a Beam/Spot light on Bride and Groom Dancing like ''Mr Beans" serial. Or rather what can I use to focus the Bride and Groom...Thanks for your help :)

[@scot3176]

Which lights are you using?

[@ADReyes-rr6ut]

what are the 3 models? Thanks

[@naturerleben3252]

Adj Inno Pocket: Beam Spot Wash

[@thescreamingseveredheads860]

What do you call the effect when the light spreads into multiple beams?

[@jacksonbeckett1310]

gobo wheels split spot fixtures into several beams

[@geribeanjr]

Are you still using these instruments....do they work....

[@Halloweenprops4ever]

0:58 What is the name and model of this fixture?

[@talhod1]

Do you have to use a dmx controller to make them cross and dance like that and stay mirrored to each other? Or can you just connect them to each other and use a certain setting?

[@talhod1]

For the spots or beams

[@elt5788]

You don't have to use dmx controller

[@djcorrecaminos7847]

HI WHAT I HAVE TO DO FOR CROSS THE LIGHT MOVIN HEAD?

[@elt5788]

[@djcorrecaminos7847]

THANKZ FROM CLEVELAND

[@moritzeck9555]

Hey how I did you do these mirror-moves so that the other device moves in the other direction?

[@DJKG1]

IS IT ILLEGAL BUY A FEW CHINESE LED MOVING HEADS SHIP TO USA AND USE THEM AT SHOWS ??? WITHOUT PAY A LICENSE TO PHILLPS FOR BS COLOR MIXING

[@lawrencedickey4810]

Lasers are a different animal and are in no way like beams. Yes, they both have a defined edge structure but lasers can make any shape they want by moving the beam faster than the eye can see AND beams source from a single filament or array of LED's whereas lasers are a concentrated beam of high energy photons. This is me being a picky laser nerd but, lasers can be dangerous and should not be compared to beams.

[@lilgoku7018]

Who the fuck lives their lives just going to videos just to leave a thumbs down??? like, why are there 52 thumbs downs on this video?? It blows my mind that 52 people came here JUST to click that thumbs down button.. amazing.
