I’ve also got a pair of chauvet gigabar effects lightbars that have a couple of wash’s as well as various moving Derby’s, layers and strobes - they are pretty cool but need a touch of smoke or haze to get the full effect so only get used at some venues.
The easiest front lighting is a cheap Par-Can on each of your PA speakers, pointed cross the front of the playing area. Two if these like this will do. https://www.thomann.de/gb/stairville_par_64_pro_series_long_black.htm Flood lights won’t do the job because they’ll illuminate everything, and not pick out the frontline. Some speakers have bolt holes for fly mounting, which you can use. Otherwise you might be able to clamp lights to the PA stands.
For mood and movement there there are several makes of LEDs on stands. Have a look at Thomann’s range. For example https://www.thomann.de/gb/stairville_stage_tri_led_bundle_complete.htm . As @John_P says, you need intensity. I’d go for the brightest you can afford, and if necessary buy one bright set rather than two lesser ones. Configure it for sound-to-light, so that it changes colour whenever there’s a loud beat. If you have two units then configure one as Master, and the other as Slave, and run an xlr cable between them so that they act in sync. If it comes with a footswitch then you can use it to black out between songs and between sets.
