That show at the end synced up pretty well actually 😂

[@LearnLizard]

Especially with the last 2 animations 😀

[@DisneyMarkUK]

The price of the Sheds one is crazy, I do wonder how they’re lights are so low. Thanks as always for the brilliant video.

[@LearnLizard]

Thanks for the kind words! Shehds makes some pretty good lights for some really good prices, but honestly the quality and craftsmanship of the LaserCubes are amazing. (not to mention that the operating software is incredible)

[@catwhatcher]

Way cool as always! Thanks for the time you put into these!👍

[@LearnLizard]

Thank you!

[@xtrongarage9666]

Really enjoyed this video always love learning about new laser machines coming out. You make reviewing laser machines look easy

[@LearnLizard]

Thanks for that- I had a lot of fun making this one!

[@croissantproductions]

Great video! I wonder if the Shehds is really 6 watts. I think the Lasercube has more accurate scanners, is much smaller (obviously), and is battery powered, but the Constellaser looks really nice for a quarter of the price!

[@mojo3898]

A TENTH of the price. 300 vs 3000

[@croissantproductions]

@@mojo3898 The constellaser is not $300. That is the price of the flight case. The actual price is $650.

[@iSpike]

G’day Steve, I appreciate you ant the awesome videos you create. I’m building my ultimate ManCave/home studio and want to add a cool laser light. Cheers from Western Australia 🇦🇺🤝🏻

[@LearnLizard]

Thanks for the kind words and hope you find a cool laser for the cave down under!

[@50MT4]

Great review! Hope to see more laser reviews from you and a more in depth review with this Shehds laser!

[@LearnLizard]

Thanks for the positive words- more laser videos to come!

[@salamzd8048]

Thank you for the awesome video and comparison. This is huge for small light designers like myself. I just have one question: what's the scanning speed of each machine? I feel like this is a big factor in the price difference

[@hrtbrkd]

A couple factors come into play with the price difference. The laserCube has a built-in DAC to work with LaserOS. The Sheds Laser would need an additional purchase to work with a Laser Software of you choosing. The scan rate is a bit different but for an entry level laser 20k-30k is just fine. Ideally you would want anything above 25k. If the Sheds is 6W then the video probably didn’t do it justice because it should have looked way brighter than a 2.5W laser. Both have ILDA IN and OUT so you can get a DAC from a different vendor and use their software to control and create new CUEs/Laser Beams and Animations. I own some LaserCubes and I can tell you their LaserOS software is the easiest to learn compared to the industry standards. Thankfully you can always buy a 3rd party laser with ILDA IN and OUT and then buy a LaserDock Dongle and use that to connect to LaserOS to help bring the costs down if you wanted to stay in the LaserOS ecosystem.

[@salamzd8048]

@@hrtbrkd this is incredible. Thank you for the elaborate reply

[@hrtbrkd]

@@salamzd8048 feel free to ask questions. I did a lot of research when I started to buy some lasers and start up this hobby. I can help and hope help you pick out a nice setup that fits your needs.

[@LearnLizard]

Thanks very much for the comment. Agree that the LaserOS software is easiest to learn (and it has so many amazing functions)

[@hrtbrkd]

@@LearnLizard ty for your videos. You where a reference I used while looking into lasers.

[@SuiGenerisMan]

There's no comparison, the Constellaser has much more vivid colors and much brighter output. All this makes this video some valuable information, thank you. I just finished reviewing several videos from the LaserCube's library and wasn't impressed. They were all pretty weak and lame, but the timeline tool looked great. I want to recreate the Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd laser light shows from the 1990s, and I want a machine with the capability to animate those clever scenes. Are those programs, those laser projects, available for purchase in some libraries? Anyone ever reproduce them or immulate those performances?

[@LearnLizard]

The Constellaser looks good in this video and is a nice machine, but the LaserCube's honestly have much more capability and are very high quality products. To recreate those classic laser show effects you want to use beam effects. LaserOS has a feature called "Beam Creator" which works great. You can learn a little bit about it in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJ3dgGqqaqiWa7c

[@lazaruslaser]

Why has Noone mentioned the Variance required in the USA.. ???

[@LearnLizard]

Its an important point. I mention it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGqqhWZvj8ycetk

[@AkiraInuProductions]

So I want to order the Shehds laser above. I am in the process of trying to figure out the FDA Variance application. Could you please let me know if you ONLY FILLED OUT the application for variance from 21 cfr 1040.11. for laser light show, display or device.. This will only be used as something to do and learn DMX and DMX software. These.FDA forms are not the easiest. Thanks for any help

[@djmickyp]

I have a lasercube and it's outstanding.

[@LearnLizard]

LaserCubes are fantastic. I love mine.

[@AkiraInuProductions]

Here is my plan and maybe someone could help me decide. I am a fireworks pyrotechnics technician and do PyroMusical twice a year for my parties. I am trying to decide Chauvet DJ Scorpion Dual RGB Plus ILS Aerial Laser Effect or the.Shehds to add to my fireworks shows. I do have a DMX controller btw.. Tha ks and love the videos.

[@clarkpink1955]

Nice work steve

[@LearnLizard]

Thank you for watching!

[@itsPumpks]

More shedhs reviews!! :) I am still trying to work out whether or not I should use shedhs or not?

[@KrisSzanto]

I am a fan of shehds. :)

[@LearnLizard]

I have a lot of Shehds lights and have been happy with them for the most part- especially some of their newer more premium lines (like the Constellaser) Good value for the price imho.

[@buzzy_cnayl]

I believe you need to have an e-stop in order to get your variance in USA so not sure the Shehds would be legal?

[@LearnLizard]

That's a really good point. Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching.

[@critical_always]

I am dissapointed you did not discuss the power difference. It is hard to tell from a video. What about light output measurements? A laser power meter sets you back $500 but I would think essential if you want to review lasers. Look closer at the machines. What about noise levels, fan quality? I can tell you from experience that the tiny fans in the laser cube are very loud. Just hey look pretty lights just doesn't cut it mate.

[@LearnLizard]

Yeah, its hard to compare every feature in a short video, (especially if you don't have a $500 power meter!) ...that being said, I have never had an issue with the LaserCube fans being too loud. They are great little machines...

[@OfficialParkit]

Is there an easy way to make these lasers not scan the crowd if i have them up on a tbar? I've never been hands on and want to make sure i can set a vertical limit

[@LearnLizard]

Both of them have physical beam blockers that you can adjust and the LaserCube has more sophisticated options where you can set up and preview safety zones in the LaserOS software.

[@RELIXROCKS]

Hi can the Shehds do the same as the video using the drum set?

[@LearnLizard]

Good question. No, that drum video with the triggers on each head is unique to LaserOS (the LaserCube operation system) It's one of the many things that makes LaserCubes so cool!

[@LemmyTho]

The shehds 6w laser is $600

[@mr.frandy7692]

yep, the website seems to intentionally mislead. $350 is the price of the case.. lol Are they hoping people don't catch that when they go to checkout?? 🤑

[@lucastseh4709]

since the Constellaser is so inexpensive, it might even be worth it to open it up and add a Battery myself?

[@LearnLizard]

Wow- I can tell you are ambitious! That would need to be a pretty big battery. Please make a video if you give it a try. I'd love to see what you come up with.

[@itsPumpks]

Oh what hazer or fog machine do you use in the mini beam vs mini gobo video?

[@LearnLizard]

Its a chauvet hurricane haze 2d. I use it on all my videos.

[@conscioussoundsystem]

Anyone know if these are cleared by the FDA for professional use with a variance in the states?

[@BDY417]

If you want to operate laser systems outside of your house, there is a federal document you have to fill out for any system above 100mw I am pretty sure. Honestly, for small events, it is not as necessary but for bigger productions it is essential. Hope this helps I am still new too!

[@lazaruslaser]

Lasercube is Sold thru XLaser and They have a great System to get a Variance !!! I don't know Where Shedd is Manufactured but if Outside the USA they are Very Hard to Variance.. The Manufactured Laser must be approved by the FDA to Sell Their products in the US... Huge Fines can happen.. and Variance approval can take months.. !!!

[@clarkpink1955]

Steve where have you been welcome back

[@LearnLizard]

Thank you!

[@joshwilkinson6251]

Agreed!! I love watching his videos. I've learned so much from them. Maybe one day he will teach me how to properly use soundswitch 😀

[@hansolowmfers]

The Shehds can barely keep up with the lasercube. A true 6 watt laser would easily wash that 2.5 watt out

[@LearnLizard]

Yeah, I think some of the wattage claims may get a bit exaggerated at times.😀

[@mr.frandy7692]

laserOS looks so damn user friendly and the other operation just looks clunky in comparison. idk. not sure it's worth the price difference.

[@LearnLizard]

LaserOS is very cool- many different options for quickly creating shows and effects. Appreciate you watching!

[@mr.frandy7692]

I'm assuming it only works with their specific lasers they make... or is there a work around to make it compatible with other brands?@@LearnLizard
