LaserCube is battery-powered and portable, whereas the LaserDock is larger and requires a power cable. There are no other differences in the laser hardware or software. The LaserDock has a larger heatsink and is more suitable for permanent fixtures.

There is no duty cycle. There is a built-in temperature sensor which shuts off the laser at 40C to protect the LaserCube from overheating.

Only if you need to see the beam in mid air, IE beam shows. Ambient smoke or fog will also work.

LaserOS needs an audio input in order to generate music reactive visuals. Loopback audio is superior to microphone in both latency and accuracy. On Windows, all you need to do is select a Loopback audio source. On Mac, you need to install Sound Siphon and then you have to select Sound Siphon as Audio Output in Sound Settings. For Android, loopback audio is not possible. The workaround is to manually add and play songs from LaserOS’s Music app to use them as an audio input.

We recommend the EVA case for everyday carry and the Flight Case for multiple units and/or luggage and shipping.

1W is good for small clubs and discos. 2-5W suit large nightclubs, and mid-sized events. 5W and up are used at large events, music festivals, concerts.

There is no general value available to determine the safe distance (MPE). There are many relevant factors relevant: Scan speed, scan angle, scanned pattern, beam divergence, beam diameter, output power etc.

The IEC 60825-1 Laser Safety Regulation applies internationally. Do not allow emission in a public area to exceed laser class 3R.

The LaserCube includes all required safety features per international regulations. In the US, every laser operator is required to obtain a user variance from the FDA. We are currently working with distributors who may be able to offer the LaserCube to the US market. Click here to stay informed.

The image size will be a 1m square when the LaserCube is 2m away, 2m square image when the LaserCube is 4m away, and so on…

There is no maximum range, but the apparent brightness will be reduced the larger the projection. It is recommended to use the LaserCube at half-zoom or less for better image quality.

No, you do not need laser safety goggles to view laser animations. You need eye protection when using the engraving and balloon popping features.

No dongle is needed for the LaserCube or LaserDock because the software is built-in.

The manual power reset feature is a required safety feature. It is possible to disable the interlock and key switch by putting a solder shorting blob across one of the transistors in the interlock circuit, however, this will void warranty. If you would like us to perform the modification on a new LaserCube prior to ordering, please contact support@laseros.com.

Yes, the housing is dustproof. There is no air drawn (or able to convect) into the main cube body where the lasers and optics are.

The 2W has a blower fan recessed within a separate heatsink plate that bolts on to the bottom of the original cube housing. Air is not drawn through the main enclosure, only into and out of the heatsink plate, which conductively cools the existing base of the cube. Sealing of the lasers and optics is maintained.
