    LaserCube experience

    Hey, at least Laser OS if free. Many other solutions are not and that doesn't even include the laser. And corporate logos are found throughout Pangolin software. Looking on the WL website, it looks like the software is much more complex than I first thought and has many interesting features...

    Can you point me to a laser

    Maybe my last post was a little misleading. I meant that a given cheap green laser emitting 50mw of 532nm light with no IR filter can be more dangerous (and will register over 50mw on an LPM) when compared to a filtered unit from a company like Optotronics. These unfiltered lasers can be...

    Yet Another New Show: Lensko - Standby (SELEM Special)

    Yet another new show. This was an old project that got completely overhauled for SELEM. I think it turned out okay. Let me know what you think. Created in Pangolin's Beyond, displayed on a Kvant Clubmax 3000 projector with Saturn 1b Scanners at 50k. Filmed with a Nikon D610.

    Can you point me to a laser

    Check out trinh hong phuoc’s post above. I would go a little lower and say it’s between 30 and 50mw. Those cheap lasers also tend to leak Invisible IR laser light which can make the laser a little more powerful (and dangerous) when measured on an power meter.

    LaserCube experience

    They're good units if you want to do professional shows. Thinking back I do wish I ordered the 2w version since 3w is way too powerful for home use. I actually use a black screen to attenuate the output when doing shows in small spaces. Regardless, the color is great and the 60k scanners rip...

    LaserCube experience

    Very interesting. That (Chinese) website has changed quite a bit since I was last over there. It seems like they really don't conduct any direct business anymore. I can't see any projectors on the site at all. I actually contacted Magnum lighting several years ago when I was shopping for a laser...

    Can you point me to a laser

    Update: I was just outside in direct sunlight with a 100mw 520 and it’s just barely usable. If the areas your pointing to are slightly shaded and have green foliage, this may be enough. These lower power green lasers can pack a little more punch because the source is single mode (stays tighter)...

    Can you point me to a laser

    You will "want" a 1w green laser. They are the only lasers I've found to be truly bright even in broad daylight. That being said, I would discourage you from using a laser for this application at all. A 1w green would still be very hazardous within 100 feet or so and all it would take is one...

    LaserCube experience

    Fair point given that the crowd WL is trying to appeal to is probably not the crowd that is or aims to be varianced. That being said, Magnum lighting seems to produce some projectors that are a pretty good bargain. If they were certified, they could be useful as affordable beam projectors. I...

    LaserCube experience

    Nice review! Glad to hear your experience with customer service was good. It seems like Magnum lighting Is doing some decent work. Would be nice to see a CDRH compliant device in the future.

    WL' s rgb projection cube

    I must admit that that’s impressive. Everything just barely fits after all the modifications they made to the standard layout. Not bad at all.

    I need to buy a wicked laser lasercube

    Well I suppose if that’s all you intend to do it should be an ok unit. I presume your familiar with the included software and it’s limitations. You won’t be producing award winning shows out of the box. It does say on the website that the lasercube is compatible with LSX which is a real...

    Looking for a Name Change...

    Title says it all. Is this possible? I think “Green Lasers Rock” is a little outdated and doesn’t reflect what I do nowadays. I think Laser Pictures is more appropriate since that’s the name I produce laser shows under. Any help would be appreciated.

    I need to buy a wicked laser lasercube

    Can you explain why you “need” one? There are lots of other (legal) options and many of then will give you better results IMHO. Also, check out this thread that outlines some of the pros/cons of this cube in detail. That being said, I agree with dkumpula that this unit has some impressive...

    Announcing: "The Radiator"

    Cool project. Can’t say i’ve ever used a console. Will you have one at SELEM?

    Minimum safe power rating for viewing without glasses?

    I agree wit Alaskan and would simply say “it depends”. Only lasers below 5mw are almost always safe. Also depends what surface you point the laser at. You will get much more reflection off a white wall than a dark patch of soil. These are all considerations.

    WL' s rgb projection cube

    You can get some very cool results using lasers for light painting. I find that slowly moving objects (lines/shapes) can look good with long exposure. Check out these photos: Anyways, since you seem committed to buying it, I would be curious to hear what your experience with the projector is...

    WL' s rgb projection cube

    No problem. Here's the link to the page for LSX. You should only need the lite version since you have just one projector. I think you can just use the usb dongle that comes with the projector. I know that the software might seem a little expensive but trust me, the software is worth just as...

    WL' s rgb projection cube

    I'm realizing my post may have come off quite negative and I wanted to clarify that I'm not trying to discourage you from getting into laser scanning. It's a very fun hobby and with the right equipment, you can spend many hours creating really neat effects that will keep you entertained for...
