    Default Name of this lighting effect / lights

    Been wanting to know this for a while:




    Anyone know what the name of these lights / effects are at 2 mins 07 (yellow lights)?

    ..and again at 2 mins 46 (blue lights)?

    Look just like a regular moving head profile to me, with a gobo in the beam. Lots of people do them, those would probably have been a Robe, Martin, Clay Paky or Varilite variant.

    You are using Bonetti's defense against me, ah?

    I thought it fitting, considering the rocky terrain.

    Yup.

    What Norty said.

    How big a venue do you want to do this in??

    I've got some nice little LED powered moving head profiles that are quite cheap to hire

    Controlling them usually involves a decent DMX desk though. These usually aren't cheap... Though I've seen good software for laptops if you've got a USB to DMX dongle...
    If in doubt... Give it a clout?

    ^^ There you go then Al

    You could recreate the effect with pretty much any half decent fixture from 250W upwards. Rotating gobos, zoom, focus, they've all got 'em. I do have a soft spot for the Clay Paky optics though.

    I think everyone who likes lights has a soft spot for Clay Paky =)

    I prefer the vl 3.5k's myself, but everybody loves their cyberlights.

    I take it you were there than helping with the lighting.

    Thanks.

    I just need £8K per fixture now if I ever want to recreate it.

    Not really.

    In a smaller space, you can use smaller lights.

    Mac 250 Entours or anything in that sort of range would do it.

    Even my cheaper LED waggly profiles will do a nice approximation in a festival club tent with a bit of haze...

    That effect is fairly easy to recreate. If you just want it to be a static effect you don't even need movers. but a rental package isn't too bad.

    Now, if you want to go whole-hog and own all of that stuff. well, that's a horse of a different color.
