I currently freelance as a grip for production's, etc. I already have several Fresnels in my gear that range from 1 to 2k. The past few months I am starting to have local bands come up to me for me to light their gigs. I would but I cant for a couple of reasons. One, I would not use my Fresnel other than film or TV applications, two I do not have the know how to put together a kit for the local groups. I would like to get a few PAR's and LED's, but as for controlling and distro, I have no Idea. I know how to use Road Hog and Flying Pig, but they are studio use. What would be a good beginner set-up for the small local bands for some of the smaller venue's?

I would get 1/2 a dozen or dozen of these,
Elation Professional OPTI Tri Par Color RGB DJ Lighting Effect
or something better, lke the ELAR 108 and either get a hog widget (single universe) or an ennetec usb to DMX adapter.
You allready know hog so that is faster, but more expensive. With the Ennetec you would probably get the Chamsys Magic Cue software. after that its Edison distro to the lights and dmx from your laptop running your software.
And the programming of some busking looks.
