Where do I start with hooking up intelligent lighting for parties?
Rave?now! asked:
I throw a lot of big parties at my house. I have a really nice sound system, but I’m lacking a cool lighting setup. I would like to have a lighting system that went with the music, like a sound activation, or at least something where I could control everything at once or from one area. I’m looking to just hook up strobes, lasers, possibly black lights. I see all this stuff about controllers, DMX, channels, chasers, etc. and I’m very lost. Any help is greatly appreciated.

For shooting photography in inconvenient areas where there are no (working) electrical outlets, what can I buy to give me a power source? Any kind of rechargeable power supply I can use to power my lighting in the field?

Is it okay to install recessed lighting in the garage?
MTech8 asked:
I think I heard that it’s against the city’s code to have recessed lighting. Only flourescents are permitted. Has anyone heard of this? Does anyone know why recessed lighting would be against code?

What lighting is best for a bathroom that is similar or duplicates being outside in the sunlight?
Twlight Zone2 asked:
I am looking for lighting that provides light similar to that as if being outside. There are various bulbs out there that may say daylight or even those that have no frost covering the inside of the bulb, what is best. I want to redesign my bathroom and I would like to use the most natural lighting I can get.
Thank you

Hi, I know the new iPod touch will be coming out in a few days, and I know it will have a front and back camera. Since the rear camera has no LED flash, is there an app on the app store that automatically adds lighting in the background of the photo? Anything will help, thanks!
