In a previous post or two I have discussed the importance of lighting in a performance to not only add another entertainment element but to also illuminate the band in a way to make everybody visible to everybody else. Whew, 
that was a mouthful. But, I stick by my thought that lighting is very important. The one thing that has always turned me off a little about lighting is the heat generated. Being a drummer, I typically sit on a riser near the back of the stage and am therefore even closer to the light cans and on some occasions close enough to start sweating before even starting to perform. That is not a good thing since I am an active drummer as it is, I’ll be completely dehydrated by the middle of our set. The solution that I have come up with is to use the American DJ P64 LED Par Can Stage Light. Not only do they remedy the heat issue but no longer will you have to change gels since every P64LED can produce nearly endless colors thanks to its RGB color mixing which ultimately combines different intensities of Red, Blue and Green to create hundreds of colors with smooth transitions. One thing that really stands out to me is the ultra-low power consumption. I like to think of these lights as a triple threat; cool, colorful and cheap to power. Check them out for your rig!
