A quick guide to mobile disco lighting
There are 2 types of lighting for mobile discos -
1 - What's commonly known as 'plug & play'
2 - DMX controlled
The differences are explained here
Plug and play (What most old, very cheap discos still use)
Does what it says.
You plug it in & it plays, usually at one speed (fast)
There is no control over what it does apart from switching it on & off.
DMX controlled lighting (what we use)
This is a way to control various aspects of the lightshow,
e.g. colour, speed, direction etc.
A DMX controller can also be used to pre-program
complicated lightshows like the type you see in nightclubs.
The important bit is that you can have all the lighting running slow during your slow dances,
'dancing' in time to the music during faster ones, or even static for 'mood lighting'
A spotlight can even be used to highlight areas such as a wedding cake,
bride & groom's 1st dance etc.
ALL of our effects lights use DMX technology
(We now have even more lights since this video was made)
