Improve the vibe of your shows with special lighting and effects

Ape Labs LightCan LED Lights £85 per light

Want some regularly vibrant lighting without shelling out for a full lighting rig? Then a few LightCans may be just what you need. Pumping out impressive coloured lighting via a 15W RGBW LED, these battery-powered beauties can be programmed with a variety of colours and speeds, and can be easily positioned to add a staggering amount of visual flair. apelabs.com

Chauvet Freedom Stick Pack £445

This flexible LED lighting array can serve many purposes, but it really comes into its own when used as a live experience lifter. Sold in a pack of four, plus an IRC remote controller, the Freedom Sticks’ free-standing design makes them easily transportable, and – in sync – they can be pixelmapped to flash and strobe in tandem with the rhythm of your tracks. chauvetdj.com

Look Look Unique 2.1 230V Hazer £666

A little haze, particularly when used in conjunction with the right lighting, can hugely improve the attention-grabbing potential of your show. A decent Hazer such as this from Look Unique is quiet running, and provides a subtle amount of vision-clouding obscurity, as opposed to the wind-turbine, 80s fog machines of old! looksolutions.com
