Intelligent Lighting  makes people want to dance

Intelligent Lighting makes people want to dance

 

What’s the big deal about intelligent lighting? Regular DJ lights are either on or off. They do what they do, and you normally don’t have much control. Intelligent lighting (when used with a good controller) allows the DJ to choose the color and brightness of the lights, allows for controlling the speed and path of movement of the lights,  strobing effects, and the gobo changing(shape of the light, ie. heart shaped, circle or other geometric design). Strangely it’s hard to find a Chicago DJ with intelligent lights. One effect I like to use, during the first dance is to spotlight the bride and groom  and have daisies moving in mirrorball fashion around them in white, or yellow or purple, etc. It looks awesome. When I get set up in a hall, the first thing I do is fire up the laptop and my controller to set the lights for coctail and dinner.  When lights are aimed correctly, like at a chandelier, it can make all the difference in the mood of the room. Then I aim the lights at the door for my spotlight introduction. At the push of a button, my spot lights go from scanning the room to zooming in on the door. I then have the spotlights follow each bridal party couple as they walk across the room, toward their seats. This is hollywood kind of stuff,  only possible with intelligent lights, and the right controller.  Do you NEED intelligent lights? Not really, but they make for a better atmosphere on the dancefloor.
