Just a quick warm-up video (it's been a while) attempting to show some of the options we have when it comes to fixtures used for uplighting.
Enjoy!

Hey Brian, didn't look thru all the comments so I'm not sure if this has been brought up, but... have you ever considered putting a diffusion filter on your par cans? It'll soften up that 'hot-spot' very nicely. I know some vendors are selling plexi-glass versions that fit right in the 'gel' slots for only $5.... A pretty inexpensive option for people who can't afford to buy 10 different lights!

Great comment!  I was introduced to thoes at NAMM and need to get some kind of video up on them asap.

From what I understand, you can also spread the beam angle out a bit with thoes

Hey Brian, I always appreciate your videos. I'm a mobile DJ new to uplighting. I'm considering buying the ADJ Pro38B LED RC lights. Are those bright enough for a wedding reception or should I go with Pro64s?

Well done Brian, well put to the layman (me). Keeping it simple is appreciated.

hey

nice vid

if you cant get mega panels or such like and you have led par cans but dont want a hotspot then you can by diffuser gels to fit in the gell frame on the front of the par cant and that will make there be no hotspot or the hot spot will be gratly reduced

hope that helps

Hey Brian, i need some help with choosing some led par cans to put under my scrim king on my speaker stands. i was thinking of getting the Colorsplash jrs but now im not sure...its just to put under my scrim so it doesnt need a long or big throw. Would you reccomend using the colorsplash jrs to do led wash under the scrim?

Thanks, DJ Russ- DJ Russ Pro Audio

Hey Brian...Thanks for the information. I currently work as DJ in the New York/Hudson Valley area and requests for up lighting is really on the rise. I would like to get involved in being able to offer up lighting to my clients and have been doing A LOT of research and trying to get as much information to make an informed decision. I've been looking at the Slimpar56 or Colorstripmini to use..now I just have to research controllers and looking into wireless transmitters/receivers

Tis clear you know your shit, just don't say practise and enjoy ;)

Really helpful bro. I was looking for someone to break down the options and all your videos have really helped. I love the no nonsense, casual but informative vibe. Thank you a million from a fellow mobile DJ looking to figure out the lighting world.
