James, I am just getting started and currently, all I have is two colorpallets and 3 three white spots. No intelligent lighting at this point. In your opinion what would be the best direction to go in for my next move.

To be a litte more specific, I'm thinking in terms of intelligent lighting but I wonder what lights would give me the best results for the money. I realize they're pretty expensive so I would prefer to get some advice from someone who has the experience before making an investment.

Whats your budget? I'll be glad to help you piece together a rig.
Sincerely,

James, in the near future probably around 1-2k. Also, do you know of any stores in the Dallas/Fort Worth area that would carry the ones you suggest?

hmmm at around 2,000 huh? Do you want LED lights? moving heads? Scanners? DJ effects? Let me know. for 2 grand i would say try to get maybe a pair of design spots for starters. If you go with ADJ your choices open up a bit more at that budget. But with elation we are a bit more expensive but all of our products are totally worth the money and you wont find a similar fixture at that price with the same features.
Sincerely,

Mike contact me, I'm in Dallas and may be able to help
