I was considering buying some beacon/signal lights used by police officers and construction but I was scared the strength and size falloff might be too small for a large room or set. Though I am a beginner and don't have much experience on set yet. The beacon lights in the Aliens film also look as big as someone's torso.

Thanks Nicolas, I understand now! Is there any brands you recommend, what are the industry standard brands?

Hi David, The link to the video is here, the lights in the parking building is what I'm talking about. https://youtu.be/6MXkLQmITKo?t=25

Hello, I am a beginner coming from Concept Art looking to do some side work with video as a hobby. I'm planning to make a dance video. I've searched for a few hours with revolving, strobe, rotational, flicker lights, dj lights, and haven't found something that matched. I'm quite new to lighting hardware and brands as well. https://youtu.be/6MXkLQmITKo?t=25 Video can be found here, the lights in the parking building is what I'm talking about. 1st pic is a very strong hard revolving light blue light, having enough strength to cast shadows on the dancers and set from the back. 2nd pic is a smaller soft revolving version in the front, also there seems to be 2 white small front white revolving lights and some round soft lights revolving or randomly moving in front of the shot as well. What are these lights called, is there official terminology? What are some hardware pieces I can buy to mimic this light via indie? Do I just have to learn to DIY and build a rotating machine for some lights or is there certain light stands that are able to do this? I searched for a while for these things but got lost, any help will be greatly appreciated, Thanks!
