Genuine Bar/Club Disco Lighting Effects - no cheap plastic LEDs!

As you can see from the picture here at the top of this page, which is of guests dancing at a Ball/Dinner Dance at "Melrose Receptions" in Tullamarine, (where we have also done MANY Wedding DJ Hires in their 3 different function rooms) we provide stunning club standard lighting plus accessories (including our set of 3 perspex-fronted light-boxes) at EVERY function. In fact, there are ELEVEN different disco lighting effects included as standard in EVERY SINGLE ONE of our mobile disco systems. We really do provide BY FAR the best mobile disco lighting in Melbourne. And our DJ has a switching panel with separate "on/off" switches for EVERY ONE of these lights so he can constantly change "the look" every few minutes throughout your function.

Included in these ELEVEN disco lights are NINE motorised lighting effects!

That is, they ALL have internal motors which drive them to make some form of movement - spinning, tumbling, rotating etc. And of these NINE motorised lighting effects SIX of them are "intelligent" lighting effects (that is, their beams actually make their moves to the beat of the music) plus we also provide a high-powered strobe and a 1.2m UV tube in EVERY one of our complete DJ packages.

This is MUCH, MUCH MORE lighting than ANY, repeat ANY, other Melbourne Mobile DJ Hire company provides, plus EVERY other Melbourne mobile disco hire company charges $45 to $60 EXTRA for a fog/smoke machine hire, but we INCLUDE one in the price of EVERY one of our disco system hires.

LED lights

Over the past couple of years you have probably noticed that all traffic lights are gradually being converted to LED lights, and even some of the latest cars are now also using LEDs as tail-lights. And for THOSE uses that is a good thing - LEDs are quite cheap and they do last a LOT longer than conventional globes. However, there are now also a range of cheap plastic LED disco lights being produced, so quite a few Melbourne mobile disco hire companies are starting to use them because of those two reasons - because they are so cheap and so long-lasting. BUT - LEDs are NOWHERE NEAR as bright as the halogen globe powered "proper" bar/club disco lighting effects we provide PLUS LEDs don't have ANYTHING LIKE the HUGE range of 14 or 15 dichroic colours that all our "proper" disco lights can put out - in fact most LEDs can only put out red, dark blue and green. So being A LOT LESS bright & being so LIMITED in their colour range, LED disco lights are pretty disappointing.

Does Good Lighting Really Have That Much Effect?

Unfortunately, some people TOTALLY UNDERESTIMATE the importance of good disco hire lighting (yet it really does have a HUGE effect on the overall atmosphere at ANY function). Good disco lighting creates a great atmosphere in ANY venue - it excites people, lifts their mood, lures them onto the dance-floor etc. With all of the companies who only provide just two basic lights, quite often you can't even turn off the "normal" venue lights in the function room, because then there would not even be enough light to see properly, so guests could quite easily trip over each other and/or the furniture, which is a serious Public Liability issue for ANY venue - so lots of venues just WON'T LET YOU turn off all their "normal" lights IF your DJ only comes with minimal lighting.  This means that with ALL those companies with only 2 lights you have no choice but to leave the very bright "normal" room lights on  ALL NIGHT - or at best the venue lights can be just slightly dimmed, IF they have dimmers - which of course means with disco companies bringing only two lights, you don't really have much chance of creating any real "party" atmosphere.

So it's not hard to see why lots of good lighting with lots of colour & movement really does create LOTS of atmosphere, while it's also easy to see that minimal lighting means minimal colour & movement, and consequently MINIMAL atmosphere. There is actually one Melbourne DJ hire & disco hire company saying on their web-site that lighting is not really important - funnily enough that company only provides TWO cheap party lights with their system - surprise surprise! So NO WONDER they try to convince people that party lighting isn't important!

IMPORTANT NOTE: High-powered modern bar/club lights actually generate a LOT of heat, so they can only be left on for a maximum of about 15 minutes, or motors can burn out and wiring can even melt, or solder joints come undone, so after they have been on for say 12 to 15 minutes, then they absolutely MUST BE TURNED OFF for 12 to 15 minutes to cool down, BEFORE they can be used again.

That is why disco companies MUST provide at least two lights (actually, they would like to get away with only buying ONE light if they could). But they need to have two so that one of them can be off cooling down while the other one is on. So TWO lights is the absolute bare minimum party lighting any mobile DJ company can get away with - and sadly JUST TWO LIGHTS is all that NINE out of TEN Melbourne mobile disco companies provide.

Since these companies that only give you two lights can only ever have ONE light on at a time, then as we already said, providing two disco lights is obviously the absolute minimum number ANY disco company can get away with having to buy. When it comes to their lighting, they ALL want to spend as little as possible. This "cost cutting" is also the main factor in why so many of them just use a laptop and cheap plastic speakers - it saves them MANY THOUSANDS of dollars.

But we are the TOTAL OPPOSITE! We believe in giving our customers "the real deal" - nothing but the highest quality, professional bar/club lighting - and LOTS of it, in order to generate as much atmosphere as possible to help get your guests "involved" and have a great time! That's why with EVERY one of our disco systems we provide ELEVEN "high tech" disco lights, plus a set of 3 perspex-fronted light-boxes and a 64 pattern chaser to run them, as well as a fog/smoke machine (which in total is more than $5,000 worth of lighting and associated effects).

We don't use our eleven lighting effects much during the initial "Food and Formalities" part of ANY function. It's only AFTER all formalities are over, and the venue dims their lights down, that it is appropriate to use many of our disco lights, and then we ALWAYS have 4 or 5 of our lights on, which provides HEAPS of moving coloured beams in lots of different colours, different shapes and different patterns, all moving to the beat of the music and being thrown all over the dance-floor and onto the dancing guests, as well as all around the walls and the ceiling of the venue room.

As mentioned earlier, we also include a fog machine in our price! (Some people call them smoke machines) and they top off the overall effect by highlighting & accentuating all of our high-tech lighting. ALL other Melbourne DJ hire companies DON'T include a fog machine in their price. They ALL charge $45 to $60 extra for their fog machines.

You can see the fantastic effect that fog machines create in many of the photos in our "Photo Gallery". So if you haven't already looked at the 90 or so function photos in our Photo Gallery, please click on the link below to check it all out.
