It’s no secret that I use AliExpress for interesting and cheap things. If you’ve read the mcs blog, you’d see all the cool parts I buy and build from there.

About 10 years ago, I went to Roy Englebretch’s MMA promotion seminar. It was very informative and if you’re in the game, I highly recommend it.

During the seminar, we talked about using spotlights with sponsor logos to highlight sponsors without having to print banners that couldn’t be reused. For sponsors that change, you pretty much waste the banner. So his solution was to use spotlights with a small printed disc, to throw up on the wall. It worked and was a great idea, in my opinion. You could change the discs and change the sponsors when you needed to. The lights were somewhat expensive but the idea was sound.

I found a set of lights with the same concept. Except for the lights being 300 bucks and the discs costing 100 bucks a pop, the lights are about 2 bucks, total. Maybe an extra dollar for a custom logo for your sponsors.

I got one for my truck, but it’s the same concept.

The point is, you could buy 20 of these for cheaper price than a light and a disc, and still have sponsor coverage all over the event. And then change out the discs when you change sponsors.
