DJ & Disco Lighting

DJ and disco lighting is the kit a mobile DJ, bar or party host uses to fill a room with colour and movement. The page holds LED PAR cans, effects bars on tripod stands, moving heads, a Bluetooth animation laser, multi-effect units, glass and professional mirror balls with the motors that turn them, an ultraviolet LED bar and a triangle lighting truss. QTX makes most of the range, with Citronic PAR cans, blinders and a moving head alongside.

Choosing DJ & Disco Lighting

Start with the job the light has to do, wash a wall, sweep beams or add sparkle, then decide how it is controlled and powered.

PAR cans for colour washes

A PAR can floods a wall or backdrop with colour. The QTX PAR-100 154.030UK uses 18 3-in-1 RGB LEDs and comes with a handheld remote, and the PAR-186 154.042UK carries 12x 15W 6-in-1 RGBWA-UV LEDs in a plastic housing weighing 1.25Kg. The Citronic SilentPAR-216 154.065UK has a whisper quiet fan for small rooms where noise matters.

Effects bars and party sets

An effects bar puts several fixtures on a T-bar, which suits a mobile DJ who packs down after the event. The QTX Multi-Bar 151.545UK combines 2 PAR cans, a ball effect, a laser and a UV/strobe unit on a 2.3m telescopic tripod. The Recharge DJ 151.547UK runs from an internal lithium battery where no power point is close.

Moving heads, lasers and multi-effects

Moving heads pan and tilt to throw beams around a venue. The QTX GOBO Beam 150.463UK pairs a 100W LED with 7 GOBOs and a prism. The Citronic Infinity 150.467UK has 500 RGB LEDs on infinite pan and tilt. The Citronic 152.748UK laser shows 51 patterns and can display your own text from a smartphone over Bluetooth.

Mirror balls and motors

Glass balls such as the 20cm 151.583UK suit a party, while the professional balls with 7mm tiles and double hanging points, such as the 151.414UK, are made for venues. Pick the motor by weight: the 151.611UK carries a 3kg load, the 153.198UK a 5kg max load and the 153.199UK a 50kg capacity.

Frequently asked questions

What lighting does a DJ need?

A DJ usually needs a few wash lights to colour the room, plus one or two effects such as a derby, laser or moving head to add movement. Mobile DJs often choose an effects bar on a tripod, as it packs down quickly. Sound-to-light modes keep things simple, while DMX gives tighter control. The range here includes PAR cans, effects bars, lasers and moving heads.

What is a disco light bar?

A disco light bar is a portable set of party lights, such as PAR cans and derby or laser effects, fixed along one bar, often on a tripod stand. One power lead usually feeds the fixtures on the bar, so setup is quick. Some bars can run on an internal battery. The range here includes disco light bars with remote, sound-active and DMX control.

What is a disco ball light?

A disco ball light usually means a mirror ball lit by a narrow spotlight, so its tiles throw moving specks of light around the room as it turns. A small motor spins the ball, and the motor should be rated for the ball's weight. Some motors carry built-in LEDs that act as a pin spot. The range here includes glass and professional mirror balls, motors and an LED spotlight.

Can disco lights cause seizures?

Yes, flashing and strobe effects can trigger seizures in people with photosensitive epilepsy, particularly when the flashes are rapid and bright. If you run strobes at an event, warn guests in advance, keep the flash rate low and avoid long bursts. Gentle colour washes and slow movement carry far less risk. The range here includes PAR cans for background colour washes.
