Great vid. I've watched a tonne of intro to lighting videos and this is the best. Clear, informative and entertaining and well produced. Good work

[@josephmana6009]

I love this basic idea for djs

[@ValioBeats]

Amazing video! 🖤

[@David-ib8ek]

Cool. Thanks

[@CarlitosASC]

How do you program the lights to the music?

[@6ixss]

A beginner tip. These lights must not hit people eyes...........

[@jamjam6088]

Thx this really helped

[@jaxsanto4726]

Indeed.. now I know this is not for me. These lights are really not nice.

[@albertp9318]

What would you recommend for an outdoor setup that I got to bring stuff on a boat + mixers + speakers?

[@flymedicfire1]

Bad azzzzzz

[@jo14shl]

How do u sync them up to music and make them put on certain lights

[@lunt7817]

If you want to sink lights to your music I would look into DMX. As far as I know that’s the biggest way lighting is synced with music.

[@leoo3oo768]

Many lights have an Auto run/music Mode. If more control is needed the only option would be a dmx control Program with tap-Tempo/MIDI integration.

[@tarunhk111]

It's nice good super

[@bwhitewhblack6905]

What’s another name for the party/effect light? I’m looking for them online

[@monogon_band]

LED Derby

[@RykerMcDowell]

Can I please have the name of that see through dj wall....

[@MidikzVEVO]

Dj facade

[@ivanaprisudan9094]

I have that smoke machine

[@SimeonIsraelite]

Would you still recommend it? Or is there a better option?

[@sanghati981---subscriber]

Hi

[@jacoboi]

What would be a nice basic set up for a mobile dj ? Thanks.

[@flaviomatamoros1]

A good wash bar and some uplighting to start. Stay away from the dots and lasers, they tend to make you look cheap and not professional. If you want to get into moving heads only do so, when you can afford the more expensive and powerful ones that will wash your dance floor. Follow DJ Barr, I like his advice when it comes to DJ set ups. Hope this helps!

[@nodaysoff2005]

​@@flaviomatamoros1yup. Got rid of all my swarm lights and lasers and bought the fx hex.

[@maxrules2161]

Can the lasers be dangerous?

[@rleorod]

If they hit you in the eyes it is bad. Lasers should be installed 9 feet from the ground and scan horizontally

[@darrenalbert6952]

That's what I'm saying. No ones responding to us

[@introsforyou9625]

No unless you intentionly look into the light directly.

[@Rene86]

Yes lasers can be dangerous. It all depends on how powerful the laser is and how long the beam is exposed to the human eye at what distance.
Class 1, 2 and 3R or 0 to 5 mw are very safe.
Class 3B or 5 to 500 mw is considered a small danger but I personally consider this still safe.
Especially up to 250mw wouldn’t worry me.
Class 4 or 500mw (0.5 watt) and more can definitely be dangerous.
The lasers shown in the video aren’t dangerous. A unit like the Laserworld PL-5000RGB MK2 producing 5000mw can definitely do some damage when looked into at close range.

[@Discoretrox]

Gig bars are useless without smoke...hardly use mine and wash fxs and gobos mainly.

[@lightfullaserlightmanufactory]

we are china laser light manufacture

[@croissantproductions]

good for you

[@jonnyreverb]

@3:00 Not even going to mention the CDRH or maximum permissible exposure? FFS

[@skygalero6991]

Sobrang daldal

[@sandsmarc]

You guys are charging $299 for the Kinta HP? MSRP is $199 and everyone is selling it for $149. This can’t be correct.

[@DJCity-Australia]

Please note our $299 price is Australian dollars!

[@sandsmarc]

DJ City My bad. Carry on...

[@borg386]

Looks like this video is about you and not the lights. We barely even get to see the lights.
