Laser Display Accessories for LaserCube projectors
Yay! You just bought your first laser projector display! Or maybe you’re just about to do that so? The party and art world is just beneath your feet, especially if you’re armed with our free LaserOS laser show software! Now you can create hundreds of shapes, animations, and figures in almost infinite combinations with colors and transitions. Now, the best shows in your life are just around the corner but did you thought, it is everything that would you need? Creating laser spectacles, cool laser shows, and amazing laser light art is not only RGB laser projector system and software, we are offering you more than only that! In that article, we’d like to introduce you to laser display accessories designed for all models of the LaserCube.
Laser display projector accessories
We offer a full palette of accessories for our laser projector systems. If you’re looking for laser show accessories for improving your spectacles – you’re in the right place.
First of all – laser show safety: creating a nice show synchronized to the music is important, but keeping all laser safety guidelines is even more important. LaserCube is a professional show laser, not a toy: never aim it at people’s eyes, at audiences or at aircraft, and never at anything flammable (see our safety tips).
To avoid crowd scanning, use LaserCube’s beam block: set it so nothing scans into audience areas, and keep all beams at least 3 m (10 ft) above the floor wherever people may be.
Trying to figure out how to make your laser show more spectacular, but do you think you already used all possible animations and transitions? Then you should take a look at our optics kit! It contains:
- 3 x Lumia lens
- 3 x diffraction lens
- 1 x blur lens (25cm focal)
Usually, we don’t have any impact on the venue where the laser show will be placed. Sometimes it can be a narrow and long hall, but the other time it can be a really wide, but not that long venue. How to cover a wide venue in the second case? The answer is THE BEAM EXPANDER! It’s a fish-eye lens, which expands your laser projections up to 9 times! That means you need far fewer laser display systems to cover the whole space. How cool is that? The beam block can’t be used with a lens fitted, so check again that every beam stays at least 3 m (10 ft) above the floor wherever people may be.
Hardware protection accessories
Some of us take laser shows outdoors whenever we can. To protect your LaserCube from the elements (especially water), it is a good idea to have a tailor-made rain cover. With it fitted, your LaserCube can keep going in light rain, but not in heavy rain (the LaserCube Pro’s rain cover isn’t available yet).
Other laser display projection accessories
In this part, we’d like to describe a little more or less obvious accessories which may be necessary for some circumstances.
The visibility of the laser show is the key element of every atmospheric beam show. No matter in what environment you’ll show the beauty of your laser light show to the audience, you’ll need a hazer or smoke machine. Probably most laser display industry members will agree that decent quality hazers will be way much better than well-known smoke machines. We can point many reasons, for example:
- water-based fluids,
- longer dispersion time,
- non-sticky residue,
- lower fluid consumption,
- finer haze.
Besides popular atmospheric laser shows, you may be willing to create and project laser graphics projection. For that, you’ll need some kind of surface. Of course, it can be a wall, building, or a screen, but not always life gives you lemons, and in this situation, you have to create your surface.
You can create beautiful laser graphic projection by using scrim material like tulle, mosquito net, or how professionals called it – laser gauze. It’s nearly invisible, really low cost, but projection on it (especially at night) will create an immersive effect. Beams pass partly through it, so place it so that they end on a solid surface behind it, never on people.
A more expensive category is water screens. Here too, the beams pass through, so they must end on a solid surface, never on people. We can split this category into two minor:
- hydro shield screen – under high pressure, water is pumped into a single and very powerful jet and gets sprayed out from the bottom upwards, creating a semi-circle right above the ground. This water screen is dedicated to outdoor purposes.
- water curtain – under high-pressure water is pumped up into the rail that contains hundreds of small jets and disperses water evenly across the length of the rail segment. It can be used also indoors (if we can ensure a water collection pool underneath the rails, to make the water supply a closed circuit).
