The 10 Best DJ Lights

The Chauvet DJ SlimPar (about $110) features 180 vivid LEDs, and its slender, 2.5-inch case ensures easy placement in tight spots. You can hook it up to a DMX unit, use the built-in dials on the back, or simply set it and forget it with the automated and sound-activated programs.

The Suny Show (appx. $82) projects lasers in 128 brilliant combinations, and it can work for a room of up to 2,500 square feet. You can switch between various play modes on the front panel or with the included remote control, which also allows for setting of the rotation speed.

The versatile LaluceNatz 630005 (appx. $46) transmits colorful, wide-angle beams through 48 lenses, and it can be programmed for sound activation, auto-play, hopping, strobe lighting, and more. You can place it on a table, or affix it to a wall with its flexible mounting bracket.

The moving head of the Tomshine 60W (around $70) incorporates 4 lights, and it pans and tilts smoothly through a wide range of angles, filling your space with red, green, blue, white, amber, and purple. It can flash along with the rhythm, even when songs are played at a low volume.

The Kingtop Disco (about $17) creates a ripple effect that can be adjusted to encourage either a mellow, relaxed mood or quickly amp up the atmosphere. It comes with a handy tripod and stays cool to the touch, thanks to its built-in fan.

The highly portable Nequare 2-Pack (about $19) will put on an eye-catching show and liven up any party in a small to medium-sized room. They display 7 colors in various modes, and the rotation speed can be set to match your music or the desired ambiance.

For three dynamic effects in one compact box, look to the Chauvet DJ Swarm4FX (appx. $149), which fills your party room with multicolored spinning beams, red and green lasers, and 12 white strobes. Just choose your desired settings using the simple dials on the rear panel.

With 28 high-power LEDs that have double chips and 120-degree cups, the Kingbo UV Blacklights (appx. $31) delivers a significant brightness, so it's great for illuminating a dance floor, Halloween decorations, and more. Its durable, aluminum body stays cool even after extended use.

The DragonX 4 Bar (appx. $250) can be conveniently mounted on the included tripod or placed on the floor for some dramatic uplighting. It's equipped with four red, green, and blue lights that can be run in preset modes or manipulated easily with the foot pedal.

The 4-in-1, LED Chauvet DJ Swarm Wash FX (appx. $280) combines a red, green, blue, amber, and white rotating derby with an ultraviolet wash and an outer ring of SMD strobes. It offers both automated and sound-activated features, and is simple to program using a DMX controller.
