Buying Guide: ADJ DMX Controllers, Moving Lights, Fog/Haze Machines and More

Pro lighting techs use DMX controllers to control each fixture in their rig -- setting color palettes, dimming, movements, and more. Dedicated DMX hardware like ADJ's WMX1 MK2 Wolfmix controller let you get hands-on with your lighting. No space for a dedicated light board? Use a computer, tablet, or smartphone to control your lights, thanks for ADJ's myDMX software and hardware.

How do you move an audience? Moving lights can add excitement to any stage performance. ADJ moving lights, like the Focus Spot series, harness powerful low-wattage LED beams to create beat-synced light shows that can direct the focus of any audience wherever you need it. Like special stage scenery that you can save and recall whenever you're ready, motorized lights can instantly change the look of a space. It's not magic -- it's ADJ moving lights!

Seasoned lighting aficionados -- and anyone who knows what looks good -- agree that "standard" lights can only take you so far. For every beam master out there, ADJ creates specialty effect lights that move away from wacky, into the realm of inspirational. Fire up an ADJ specialty light to create mesmerizing strobe effects and sharp beams that dance in time with the beat.

The pros' secret to making lights "pop" isn't about wattage or DMX channels -- it's using fog and haze. These machines create an medium for your light beams to slice through. Create moody looks or heavenly atmospheres with low-lying smoky clouds, or unleash blasts of fog for pyro-like effects without the heat or flames.
