In the old days, one of the most popular lighting effects was the double derby. It had a twin array of gleaming multi-coloured light  – it was popular due to it’s ability to completely fill a room with moving light.

Enter the Kool Sound Daou! This stunning DJ lighting effect is a new age LED double derby drop-in replacement for the double derby. Room filling with beams of multi-coloured light make the Kool Sound Daou lighting effect ideal for use at parties and for professional use.
