These always work for me.
If you want something a little more high tech you could go with these...
Sorry, but in all seriousness. Check out some of the cheaper stuff by American DJ, and Chavet. I have a couple American DJ Mini-Gressor's that i picked up cheap, i use them for small shows and house party's. They always seem to go over pretty well.
i use one of these i mount to on my tripod and it points down on my mixer it has a hole in the barrel of the gun which produces a yellow light and the blue light just looks cool http://www.lazyboneuk.com/products/Magic-Gun-Light.html

Get a lava lamp, I used to have one and it worked great.
Good question by the OP. I have been considering the same thing for a couple months.
This thread on the lighting section at DJ Forums is useful for an overall intro to lighting.
But I would just check this post on that thread for some YouTube examples of what different effect lighting looks like.
The guy in that thread makes a good point that you may want to consider some wash lighting instead of an effect light - if that's all you're going for - because a single effect might get a little boring after awhile, but a wash light can provide more general ambiance. Not sure I'm entirely convinced, but it's something worth considering.
hunt craigslist. i got a 10 foot truss, mushroom, comet, 4 bank, and rope light for 150
@dual thankyou im gunna check those out right know and @ tristan i stalk craigslist and ebay for bargains all the time :P
If you want some basic lighting - I'd start with a couple Par cans. Throw in an effect or two - starting with a decent moonflower or scanning moonflower effect (ADJ Led Reflex).
99% of the time, that's all you need for a basic set up.
If you just need some light in your booth, I'd grab a par can or two and mount them overhead with a slow fade (or perhaps sound active). The LED Jr's from Chauvet (Par 30's) work well for this sort of thing. If you go with a 'larger' fixture - like a par 56, then I'd use a diffuser over the top (make sure it comes with a gel frame - or at least supports you using one).
Lighting doesn't take much in a small space.
And if nothing else, grab a mirror ball, and a couple pinspots.
