RGB Laser Light Projector

When planning an event, like a wedding party or a lively gathering, lighting is very important for setting the mood. You have many choices, from simple spotlights to more complex setups that might include a laser bar RGB moving head or a moving head laser RGB for exciting effects. But for a truly engaging and custom visual experience, RGB laser light projectors really stand out. At LaserCube, we focus on these strong and flexible devices, made to make your events shine with bright colors and amazing patterns.

RGB Laser Projector System

If you look around, you’ll see many examples of RGB laser light display technology. Depending on what you need it for, you can choose the LaserCube 1.2W WiFi, the LaserCube 2.5W WiFi, the compact LaserCube Pro (3W or 6W, sold outside the US for now) or the LaserCube Ultra MK2 (6W or 10W). Our LaserCube family will make any laser light fan happy and bring good quality, easy carrying, and an amazing laser spectacle to your places and events. Remember, they are also a great choice for holiday decorations or New Year’s Eve celebrations.

It’s important to choose the right RGB laser light projector that meets your needs. If you plan to use it for house parties, a small club, or smaller venues, then the LaserCube 1.2W Wifi will be perfect. For bigger venues and larger groups, the LaserCube 2.5Watt WiFi, which uses pure diodes, or the LaserCube Pro or Ultra MK2 with their fast 35kpps scanners, are better options.

When you look at the RGB laser light price for the LaserCube WiFi, Pro and Ultra MK2 models, you’ll see they offer bright, clear laser beams that are also very affordable. These models are popular choices for anyone wanting a good quality DJ laser light RGB setup, giving impressive visuals for events of all sizes.

What does the laser stand for?

A laser is a device that causes atoms or molecules to give off light at certain colors and then makes that light stronger, usually creating a very narrow beam. This light generally covers a very small range of visible, infrared, or ultraviolet colors. Many different types of lasers have been made, each with its own features. Laser is short for “light amplification by the stimulated emission of radiation.”

In the event industry, RGB laser light display systems (red, green, and blue diodes) are most often used. By using advanced systems, these laser projectors can mix colors and cover most of the visible light spectrum. This lets them create stunning visuals, from bright still displays to lively RGB animation laser light shows that grab everyone’s attention.

You can tell a good quality RGB laser light projector if it can project a pure white color by mixing all three colors correctly. That’s why good quality RGB laser light display systems are also called full-color laser display systems or white-light lasers.

Laser projectors connectivity

Every good quality RGB laser light projector should offer strong connection choices. The most common ways to connect laser projection systems are ILDA (DB25), DMX, and ArtNet (using an ethernet port). Our LaserCube also offers a special (for laser projectors) wireless connectivity over WiFi!

LaserCube has a built-in WiFi router, which lets you connect your mobile or desktop device outdoors up to about 50 meters away in our tests, depending on how many other WiFi networks and devices are nearby. This means you can choose how you want to use your laser display equipment, what extra laser show software you want to use, or what laser control hardware you need, and focus on the necessary inputs and outputs.

With an ILDA input, the LaserCube Pro and Ultra MK2 (like the 2021 LaserCube 2.5W Pro before them) let you connect to any DAC (digital-to-analog converter) you prefer. This makes your laser equipment very professional and takes your laser shows to a completely new level. With their RGB diodes (455 nm blue, 525 nm green and 638 nm red, with up to 10,000 mW in total on the Ultra MK2 10W), you can create an amazing light show your audience will remember.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q01How many colors can an RGB laser produce?

An RGB laser system can create over 16 million different colors. It does this by mixing its red, green, and blue light sources. This allows for very bright and varied visual effects.

Q02What are RGB lasers used for?

RGB lasers are used for many things. They create amazing light shows at events like weddings, parties, and concerts. You can also find them in clubs, for stage lighting, and for holiday decorations.

Q03Are RGB laser light projectors safe to use?

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. Keep it away from children, and read our safety tips before your first show.

Q04Can RGB laser light projectors be used outdoors?

Yes. The LaserCube Ultra MK2 and Pro are made for outdoor use too, and every current LaserCube is rated IP51, and IP63 with its rain cover fitted: with the cover it can be used in light rain, but not in heavy rain, and never in rain without the cover. The LaserCube Pro’s rain cover isn’t available yet, so for now a Pro can’t be used in rain. For public outdoor shows, check your local rules.

Q05What is the typical lifespan of an RGB laser projector?

The life of an RGB laser projector can change. The laser diodes in a LaserCube last about 15,000 to 20,000 hours. Keeping the laser cool helps it last longer.

Q06What is the RGB laser light price range?

The price of an RGB laser light projector can be very different. It depends on how powerful it is, its features like scanner speed and connections, and the brand. Our LaserCube models offer bright lights at good prices, so great laser shows are available for different budgets.
