X Marks The Spot A Review Of The American DJ X-Series of LED LightingAug 5, 2009 The trend to go green is now mainstream and some DJs are really benefiting from it in ways they would never think about, the entrance of LED lighting into the world of dance clubs and DJing.

When you viewed them on display, they were most always set five to six feet off the ground so they appeared to be bright.
