How to Add DJ Lighting to a Karaoke Machine

Nothing makes karaoke more exciting or realistic than DJ-quality lighting effects. You can add DJ lighting to your karaoke machine in two ways. You can use portable lighting that you attach around the room or you can attach permanent lights to your karaoke player's cabinet.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Gobo mobile unit
• DJ lights
• DJ lights

Mobile DJ Lights

1. Choose mobile DJ lighting to jazz up your karaoke machine. Mobile lights can be attached and removed from ceilings and walls. They work in conjunction with your karaoke machine via sound activation.
2. Pick mobile flash-beam DJ lighting to create club quality effects. Flash-beam lighting creates a spread of simulated laser beams that move from the floor to the ceiling. You can set them on a timer or allow the sounds of the karaoke machine to activate them.
3. Get a gobo mobile lighting unit to project messages in light on the floor. Most gobo units come with a few premade special occasion messages such as "Happy Birthday." You can set the projection to rotate in time with whichever karaoke song is being sung.

Add Permenant DJ Lighting Fixtures to Your Karaoke Machine

4. Attach DJ lighting directly onto your karaoke machine. Since karaoke machines are typically stand alone units, you will only be able to attach lighting to the outer case of the machine.
5. Choose lighting that is effective when projected horizontally. Your karaoke machine will probably only have blank cabinet space for lights on its sides, which means that lights that are intended to point down will be ineffective.
6. Buy some LED color panels. These square panels feature four color segments which light up in sequence or all together. Smaller sized panels may be affixed to your karaoke machine casing.
7. Add multistar lighting to your karaoke machine. This type of DJ lighting consists of three or four small round balls with inset blinking lights. Because they aim up rather than down, they are well suited to being attached to your karaoke cabinet.
8. Try adding a power outlet controller to your karaoke system. With a power outlet controller, you can synchronize all of your DJ lighting effects.

Tips & Warnings

• Consider buying covers for the DJ lighting you add to your karaoke machine. Covers will prevent your lighting from damage from bumps and dust.
• Remember that adding lights to your karaoke cabinet can make the machine more difficult to maneuver and store.
