The amount of lights depends on your room size. I think they recommend you get a light for every 6 ft of the room if your looking for complete room color. If your room has alot of windows or mirrors, uplighting will be a little difficult. My room is mostly mirrors and windows so I am only having a few uplights for some beams to bring out some of my colors. I am paying $45/light...I negotiated from $50

focus on what you want lit up! don't get beat in the head by the dj's they re making crazy money off nothing...my room has a lot of mirrors so up lighting doesn't show well against mirror only wall space or fabric but i still wanted the effect so i am only lighting the back of my sw table(4LED WALL Lights) as well as one under table light.
$40 X 5 lights ...I rented them myself at a dj store! me happy btw the lights will be controlled with a remote if i want them to change color....$200 vs $2000.
