DMX in 3 steps

1. Controller → Fixture 1 → Fixture 2 (daisy-chain)
2. Group addresses by type (PARs together, movers together)
3. Save four basics: Welcome / Slow Dance / Party / Blackout

• Welcome – warm white face wash + slow, wide sweeps from moving head lights dj
• First Dance – soft pink/amber front, narrow top sweep, no strobe
• Toast – neutral white front + gently rotating gobos on the ceiling
• Party Mode – color chase on PARs + alternating sweeps on moving dj lights (brief strobe hits only)
• Photo Time – static white front + subtle backlight; pause movers so photos stay crisp

• Brightness & optics: for small rooms, 30–60 W LED-class moving head stage lights usually suffice; step up only for high ceilings or bright spaces.
• Gobo & color: simple gobos and smooth color mixing look cleaner on walls/ceilings—no need to overcomplicate your first rig.
• Control path: sound/auto/remote → app/USB → DMX; each step adds reliability to your dj stage lights.
• Service & protection: free shipping on eligible orders and a two-year warranty mean fewer surprises and easier upgrades later.

• Weight your stands; keep fixtures above eye line; avoid audience scanning—especially around kids.
• Outdoors: watch wind and moisture; cover gear between sets; keep power dry.
• Cable management: tape crossings and keep walkways clear.

Q1: How many moving heads do I need for a living room?
Two. One left, one right, just above eye level. Add two PARs for faces. That’s the classic small-venue balance of moving head lights dj and dj stage lights.

Q2: Can I start without DMX?
Yes. Use sound/auto/remote for your first shows. When you’re playing monthly or more, add simple DMX and save your scenes.

Q3: Will mini movers be bright enough for a micro-wedding?
In a dim room, two minis plus two PARs are usually enough. If the space is bright or tall, step up to higher-output moving head stage lights.

Q4: Do I need a hazer?
Optional. A light haze makes moving dj lights look bigger and smoother. Always check venue rules and ventilate.

Q5: What’s the quickest way to look “pro” on video?
Clean face wash, gentle backlight, movers sweeping above heads—not into the lens. Save a Photo scene with static light and minimal motion.

Q6: I’m on a tight budget—what should I buy first?
Start with two moving dj lights. Add two PARs next. That combo carries most small gigs and family events.
