Disco light shopping...

[TheGaffersSon]

I want to wire a disco light above my decks in my house. Either red or blue, or mulitcolour, flashing twirling all that jazz. You know?

Have any of you installed any that you can reccomend, or no a good shop for it?

Cheers,

TGS.

What is your budget?

This really is the biggest deciding factor when deciding what sort of equipment to purchase.

You could easilly spend £5000 an a top notch dogs bits lantern & £3000 on a controller to make it work, or £20 on an all in budget special.

If only !

The room is only a few metres wide, just a basic light that will flash and stuff. I can't make my mind up whether to get one, i'm not sure how it would look up. Just wanted to have a look at a few so if you reccomend a shop would be grateful. Ta.

Have a look at maplins. Thay have a reasonable range of budget stuff for you to have a browse through. Just make sure the one you decide on will run in stand alone mode, otherwise you will need to buy a seperate controller too.

The one in there is a plug in. Makes life easier.

Also saw this what made me chuckle, you know the bottom two questions are the same person!

Q) For the price stated does this unit come with lead and plug - r sayer
A) Yes, the lead and plug are included.

Q) I have just purchased two of these units and cannot find out how to adjust the sensitivity on the rear, do I have to remove the back to do this? - Andrew Varney
A) yes there is a small potentiometer on the circuit board for adjusting sensitivity

Q) Do you sell the replacement control for the sensitivety as i have snapped mine off. - Danny

The sockets I will be putting in will be low level, so I may run a chrome spur or off a socket as a switch. What d'ya think?

I will go for something like this I think: http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=36184&criteria=Party Lighting&doy=31m8

They are about the most basic, and therefor there is very little that can go wrong with them. They are not a bad effect for the money.

I still prefer my mac 250s though

They mainly get hired out, but theatre shows otherwise.

{breezer sits there drooling over that}

Id love a couple of them, but i can not justify the extortionate amount, i will have to stick with my colorblasters and a stick to move them
