You may also want to use a big shot portable stroke light to add excitement to the dance floor. A DJ will want to use party lights and retro lights that are really colorful rotating balls. Retro light look like mirror balls with multi-colored lamps installed inside.

DJs use projects with halogen lamps. A project style DJ light uses a lamp and a mirror to reflect the light on to the dance floor. You can set great shapes, different light effects and colors with a projectors.

Lasers are lights that use a laser diode and mirrors to project different widths of light plus give beam so of light multiple colors.

DJ lighting equipment that is awesome involves liquid light shows. Psychedelic light became popular in the 1960s and 1970s and included layers of colored mineral oils and alcohol that move under the heat of the lamp. This produces different color patterns and produces an almost hypnotic effect.
