Owning a lot of lights doesn't make you a lighting designer. This episode is about what does.

We call out the DJs who sell themselves as lighting experts because they bought the newest gear. We talk about the cheap fixtures a lot of the industry leans on, and why so many DJ lighting setups fall flat.

In this episode, we cover:

• How to set yourself apart as a DJ who designs lights

• Why every look should start with a plan and a reason

• Where to find ideas, like hotels and community theater

• How to pick the right gear for the room and the event

• Why you should keep learning and be honest about your own work

Get this wrong and it costs you clients. Get it right and your events and your name both get better.

For new and working DJs who want to take lighting seriously.

Sorry for the lag in this one. It's fixed in our next batch of episodes.
