Stage lights

We are getting ready for a major party, we have yet to add stage lights, all we need for now is something we can shine a spotlight on the singer and colored lights for background, the lights would be operated by the person running the board, when looking at light selection, there is alot to choose from, later we may add lights that are for the audience for dancing etc. but for now something that would replace the old spotlight, blue, red and green lights, what do you suggest,

Most of us don't use lighting.

I think stage lights are cool to use. I have a set of four can lights with different colors set on a beam stand with a controller that will dance with the music, or various combinations (have two old controller units).

I have some professional equipment that was given to me that I am trying to get to work. I have no experioence with the equipment. A professional club system, rack mounted gear, mixer, reverb, mixing board, VHS player, loader, amp, floor stage monitors, controller, but no TV monitor. The system is 1983 vintage. I am looking for the O&M manual for a "Edit-A-Vision" CDG-333 graphics controller.

I have a music studio and I use lighting to create the mood. I think it is a good idea. Get yourself into the singers frame of mind. The idea is to have some fun and make the singer/s feel all of the sensations.

My opinion.

Mine is a 5 channel controller. I have two controllers. One day I had taken apart one of the controllers just to see what was inside.......good thing I did, there was a screw driver in the box laying across all of the exposed terminals. That would have lit up a lot of things.......including myself. Now who in the heck wuld do a dumb thing like that!!!

I removed the screw driver.........whew!
