Full Spectrum Laser Projectors Guide | LaserCube
Full spectrum laser projectors are a popular choice in laser light technology. With the ability to create millions of bright colors and moving effects, these systems can change the ambiance of a space.
The LaserCube projector system is one such type of system that uses full-spectrum lasers. In this guide we will learn more about full spectrum lasers, how they work, and which one you should use.
What is a Full Spectrum Laser Projector?
A full spectrum laser is a device that uses red, green, and blue (RGB) laser light to create the full rainbow of colors. By changing how bright each of the three primary colors is, these systems can make over 16.7 million different color combinations.
The name “full spectrum” means the projector can make almost any color the human eye can see. This makes them useful for showing clear graphics, logos, and animations; a sure way to impress a crowd at any event.
How Full Spectrum Technology Works
Full spectrum technology works by mixing RGB colors with high precision. Each projector has three laser parts that work together to create colorful displays.
- Red lasers (635-660nm) provide warm colors.
- Green lasers (520-532nm) look brightest to our eyes.
- Blue lasers (405-465nm) add cool colors.
These primary colors are mixed much like they are on a TV screen. By changing the brightness of each color, the system can make any shade. For example, mixing red and green light makes yellow, and mixing red and blue makes magenta.
High-speed scanners called galvanometers guide the laser beams. They move up to 35,000 points per second to draw smooth graphics and effects.
Uses for Full Spectrum Lasers
Full-color laser systems are used in many ways, for both fun and professional work.
- Entertainment and Events: DJs and event planners use these systems to make light shows that sync with music for parties and concerts. They can also project custom logos and animations.
- Professional Stage Production: Concert tours and festivals use full spectrum lasers for aerial beam effects, which look great when combined with fog or haze machines.
- Creative Arts: Artists and photographers use laser projectors for light painting. This involves creating patterns in photos taken with a long camera exposure.
- Advertising and Branding: Companies can project their logos onto buildings or create interactive displays on walls and other surfaces.
Portable vs. Traditional Systems
In the past, full spectrum laser projectors were often large, heavy, and costly. They were usually set up for permanent use and needed special power and control systems. Modern portable systems make professional laser displays easier to use in new ways.
- Quick Setup: Battery-powered units mean no power cables are needed. Setup can be done quickly with a smartphone, tablet, or laptop.
- Portability: Small designs that weigh less than 8 pounds let you bring a laser show almost anywhere, including outdoor events.
- Integrated Control: Built-in WiFi and software give you control without needing extra hardware.
- Cost: Portable systems make full spectrum technology available for budgets that were once limited to simpler projectors.

Choosing the Right Full Spectrum Laser
When picking a full spectrum laser, a few things will help you decide which system fits your needs.
- Power Output: Systems with 1,200-2,500mW of power are good for indoor events. Higher-power units, like 7,500mW or more, are better for large outdoor spaces.
- Scanner Quality: Look for fast scanners (30,000+ points per second) that make graphics look smooth and detailed. For example, the LaserCube Ultra series uses scanners that operate at 35,000 points per second, drawing images with high accuracy.
- Connectivity Options: Models with WiFi are convenient for many uses. Some professional setups may need ILDA ports to connect with other lighting equipment. All LaserCube Ultra products include these ports.
- Software Features: Good software with ready-to-use content, music reactivity, and the option to import your own designs adds more creative options. The free LaserOS software comes with hundreds of effects, animations, and visualizers.
- Safety Features: Safety systems can include key locks, emergency stops, and software to set up safe viewing zones. These features help with the responsible use of these Class 4 laser devices.
The LaserCube series is a perfect example of portable full spectrum laser technology, with models from 1,200mW up to powerful 7,500mW. These systems offer quality output in a portable design, making them a popular choice for mobile DJs, event producers, artists, and other applications.
Whether you need reliable equipment for events or want to try a new creative tool, full spectrum laser projectors offer many ways to express ideas with light.
