So I'm more green at DMX lighting then a new born but I figure there has to be some pros here.
Basically I need lights for a small stage right now I use four Par cans for a stage it does a decent job but my dimmer board just ate it and I figure I might as well upgrade.
Here's the questions for the pros.
I'm on a budget so the cheaper the better
Do i need to by a new DMX board so it can hook up into a PC or can I go straight from the lights to a PC and use Freestyler?
For DMX to PC do I need a special hook up for it such as midi or USB?
Since I just need basic stage colors that I want to included with my old cans what is your opionions about these lights
American DJ DJ SPOT 250?
Chauvet The MiN Spot LED?
That's all I have for right now but I am sure I will have more questions?
