The Guitar Hero players on home entertainment centers like the Nintendo Wii make a sound, but can't out-firepower the home DJs and karaoke players with the latest gear from amplifiers and speakers to LED light displays and stage lighting effects.

Home musicians can deck out their personal recording or performance space with digital equipment, boosting their volume with the Altec Lansing Stage-Gig amplifier containing a 6.5-inch driver and a 40-watt amplifier, for sound that blows the lid off.

Then there's the DJ stage lighting module from American DJ. Using LED light bulbs the American DJ LED Moonflower produces multiple bright white beams of light from one 3-Watt LED. The Pearl LED light bulb has the power of a 400W halogen lamp.

Even those who don't want a system more expensive than the one they play video games on, LED back lighting produces colored red and blue keys for better gaming at night. The Logitech G110 keyboard comes with extra keys for macros and customized gaming.

LED light bulbs are the most energy efficient lighting technology in the marketplace today.
