Best Buy DJ Turntables

The music is the best part of being a DJ, but the party also needs a little light and action from time to time. Professional DJs often come to a gig prepared with DJ lighting that creates a club effect in any space. The types of lighting used vary from the classic disco ball to LED light shows. The more advanced the DJ lighting, the more money you will put into the purchase and upkeep of the lighting and special effects.

The Classic Disco Ball

There was once a time when every club was fitted with a disco ball. The ball reflected spot lights in the room with its mirrored finish. The disco ball DJ lighting tended to be very heavy and required permanent installation from the roof of the club or room. Today, digital disco balls are much lighter and much more portable. The mirrors have been replaced with LED lights that provide a retro look to any space.

The LED Light Show

Most popular DJ lighting equipment will utilize multiple colored LED lights to create a light show. These pieces range in price from less than $100 USD to more than $1000 USD. The simplest LED DJ lighting is the table top unit. These are perfect for smaller rooms or dance floors. The LED DJ lighting comes programmed with light shows or allows the DJ to change up the flashing patterns based on the beat of the music.

The DJ lighting can make all the difference when trying to boost the mood of a party. Lighting sequences can improve guest interaction and the number of people you pull to the dance floor. Just remember, DJ lighting does not have to be expensive to lighten up the mood of any party.
