Unless you are from New York State, unfortunately, they have a draconian policy of requiring you to have a separate state license which is just not necessary for an entertainer to maintain safety. You must pass a NYS test that they don't allow you to study their criteria. Ironically, passing that test qualifies you for a job as an industrial laser operator which pays at least 80k. A federal variance is all that should be required for entertainers. That law needs to change.

I went to X lasers site. I am not a DJ and I do not want to put that kind of cash into a hobby. I do what I do for the fun and not to make money. So basically, it means this is out of my territory. That is a shame. Overall, I liked the video, very informative video. I do the outdoor holiday lights, and this would be cool for Halloween. It be cool projecting this out of my third story attic room which is well above anyone.

Hey so since I can’t find a lot of answers for my interests I wonder if you know So I’m starting off in laser shows and I want to do a crazy laser light show for people to enjoy. Of course there’s the good lasers with ILDA softwares and those cost a good amount. I’m wondering how much can you program with DMX. I wanna buy a DMX controller to program some basic lasers. But what I’m confused about is that can I pre program a show with DMX or if I want to do a show would I have to be behind the controller at all times controlling it as the song goes?
@LearnStageLighting3 жыл бұрын
The answer to this depends on (2) factors: 1) You need to have a capable DMX controller. On the cheaper end, that usually means a piece of software, NOT a cheap little lighting board. For what you're doing, I recommend ONYX or LightKey (Mac). ONYX is better, but the learning curve is a little higher. 2) The laser itself. Most cheaper DMX lasers offer little customization and control via DMX. You can turn them on and off, select from some patterns of movement, and that's generally it. Forget smooth fades and transitions, they may not be possible. If you truly want to make a nice laser show, you should look at $2000+ lasers that feature a programming engine like X-Laser's Mercury OR Pangolin's FB4. These allow you to get real, solid control from a DMX controller.
@TheKingdomSecrets3 жыл бұрын
Learn Stage Lighting .com thank you so much for this information you really helped me out a lot! I will absolutely look into the onyx softwares but I did see that there are touch controllers for the software would that be better? And about the lasers themselves I would absolutely no disagree with getting a laser that has so many more options but the problem is that as much as I’d want to get one that strong I’m scared of getting it because there always would be a chance your programming it and it goes right for your eyes. Laser goggles work of course but they are usually super dark red and it’s hard to see the beauty of it. I bought a cheap DMX controller just to see how a controller works for them since I’ve never used one might as well start there and continue from there. Even 1w lasers might be too much just to start off from but ILDA connections are def a must.

If I shoot a cheap laser at a rear projection screen (so, facing the audience) will this be dangerous? What about with stronger lasers? I'm concerned about the laser beaming through into the audience since the screen obviously is not completely opaque. I want patterns on the screen without a computer-connected projector in this case.
@mikey386323 жыл бұрын
Events where I would use this are relatively small "school dance" type (i.e. not a real "rave" but similar) events where the screens are set up all weekend for various reasons (they are weekend conventions and we clear audience chairs from the room). I can't hang anything from the ceiling in the venue we are renting. I am limited to putting everything on the floor/stands/carts/tables etc. and there will be folks dancing and moving about the floor. So since the screens will be there I want to rest the projectors and shoot interesting laser patters at the screens.
@LearnStageLighting3 жыл бұрын
With lasers in the US, you are required to have someone with eyes on the laser and a safety switch at all times. I say this because this person could then be watching in case anything would happen. But as long as the screen material is thick enough (like a projection screen) to stop the laser, it should be find. I would try to engineer it so that the laser was low and pointing upwards, so that by time it leaves the front of the screen (which it won't), it is over people's heads. And of course, the area between the laser and the screen will be a no-entry zone. Laser Disclaimer - this in no way is a full set of safety information, always follow all manufacturer and federal instructions and guidance, and be safe!

How do the laser rules work when the aim is to do people scanning?
@KumaBean Жыл бұрын
Lower powered lasers (suited to the size of the venue), fast scanning speed so the laser doesn’t sit pointing at one spot for extended periods, and fog to dissipate the laser beam, making the beams less intense by the time they reach the audience (obviously this also greatly adds to the effect, but there’s no point in having lasers without fog anyway, or at least haze, imho, but you most likely already knew this, lol) All the best Brother 🤝 🍻
