Stage light thread
We have the budget to blow like $500 on stage lighting. I think lighting up trees and the dance floor makes for more party, plus these are things we can use year round for other things.
My plan is to get a ~10 simple uplights and maybe 2 more complicated moving lights.
DMX control is good, yes?
@dry-vase-19852 @early-dress-81582 do you know stuff about lights? Or know someone I could chat with? I don’t necessarily need the fanciest or largest thing, but I’d like to get something I could expand over time

can't vouch for a brand, but this style of color changing floodlight is great for tree lightup with a slow fade https://www.amazon.com/Novostella-Controller-Floodlight-Waterproof-Landscape/dp/B07X[…]&keywords=color+changing+rgb+floodlight&qid=1628529909&sr=8-8

Yeah, I have a bunch of those (30W even)…they’re not bright enough…I think need spotlights not floodlights to hit more than just the bottom branches of trees

I’m not great when it comes to lighting knowledge. I do know I like it though!

@square-country-13088 Murderbear may have lighting opinions that are worth salt

@early-dress-81582 just texted me to say
I have 2 bright LED par lights (Which I used at your work party) and a Swarm 5 multi fx light I can bring
I sent him the <http://I’ll%20tag%20you%20in%20the%20thread%20and%20it%20should%20come%20up%20under%20“Threads”%20(also%20happy%20to%20give%20you%20a%20Slack%20intro,%20but%20really,%20their%20quick%20start%20guide%20is%20super%20helpful:%20https://slack.com/help/articles/360059928654-How-to-use-Slack--your-quick-start-guide)|Slack quick start guide> so he can find this conversation earlier 😂 and chime in, but also those are some words to research. More of the same ecosystem is always good.

@square-country-13088 checked on price to buy, didn’t get a solid price but “much much more than $200/each”
“You can get cheap ones for that much but the colors aren’t great and the battery life is shorter”
URPOWER Solar Lights, Upgraded Solar Lights Outdoor with Bigger Solar Panel & Longer Working Time Solar Pathway Lights IP65 Waterproof Solar Garden Lights Auto ON/Off for Patio Decor (Warm White) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VTNB9XN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_CKHWCMSVYMJ61VBDJ3ZH
These could be another option for the pathway lighting

The uplights on the trees from this video should give an idea
