Any e bay links would be appreciated

I have a couple of these cheap Derby lights, I use them mainly just to backlight the façade, but did have them up on the gantry when I first tested them,
To be honest I was impressed for the money , good for a small venue or a house party, they have dmx, support master / slave, so with a simple xlr cable you can get them running in sync.

more of a party light than a pro bit of gear

Sorry, does not computer. If they're good, they won't be cheap. if they're cheap, they won't be good. You can't have both.
Besides, what do you call cheap? Maybe cheap to you is £500 when cheap to someone else is £1000.
What lights have you already got?

I'll dip my toe in here, I've been thinking about lights, we (rig i'm working with now) usually beg and borrow lights from the other rigs we're friendly with (we're all in and out of each other's pocket, our projector is good apparently) about time I got some more HW
I was looking at gigbar2, looks reasonable as a 2 set for the bars, warehouses, wherever we pitch our tarpaulin, any opinions on them?
I've seen the lasers are a bit lack luster (psy rig has a cracking laser we can borrow) but for the price how are they?

What, just the one T Rex?
For now I'll assume it's one, so you've already got five lights on a 6ft bar. Where/how are you going to fit more in?
What makes you think you need more anyway? I've done gigs with just two lights, and I know DJs who just use one!
I think maybe you're suffering from GAS. Seriously, the audience are not going to care how many lights you've got, or what they are.
