OK, so I'm out of my depth here, if some one asked me for recommendation of actual quality gear I would have an answer or know what to look for.
However, I have been asked by our teen group for some cheap lighting for their open mic nights that take place in an ballroom. So it needs to be super easy and quick to load in by completely unqualified and barely trained teens.
So I am thinking;
-foot lighting as opposed to trees
-I want a decent wash to cover the small (10'x10') stage area from up close (most cheap DJ lights seem to be very tight beam angles)
-it sure would be nice if they can daisy chain power (probably not going to happen)
-disposable quality is fine if they are cheap enough
-they should just be on and wont ever need a clean fade out)
their budget is only about $300 I just have no knowledge about anything that low end
anyone have any suggestions on things too look for?
