DJ lighting equipment adds the visual element to the DJs performance, combining with and enhancing the sound to create a fully realized sensory experience. Or, to put it another way, lighting is cool DJ stuff. And todays advanced technology has made it really cool.

There are dozens of lights and lighting effects available for the DJ to create interesting and visually stimulating dance floor effects. Light patterns with shape, color and movement in tune with the music can be easily controlled and manipulated by the DJ through DMX, currently the industry standard which allows one unit to control multiple lights and lighting effects via digital signals.

The Variety of DJ Lighting Equipment
Examples of the wide variety of lights and effects include the familiar strobe light, spotlight and disco ball, as well as some very unique and usual 3D effects such as stained glass, rippling water, etc. These effects are created when light is projected through a shape, called a gobo, to create an image on the dance floor or whatever surface onto which it is being projected.

There are several companies that manufacture and market DJ lighting equipment, including Chauvet, Gemini, American DJ and others. A quick web search will yield a large number of retailers offering these products as well as other DJ equipment for online sale.
