-- no more lasers at the guv??
Pages (3): « 1 [2] 3 »

I've actually never been to Guv (it's on my "to do" list) but I'd say from pictures I've seen, it's probably a krypton laser, putting out 3-4 watts of laser light.

Costs about $13,000 for the laser and about another $8,000 for scanners and software.

I'm not sure about the rules for lasers in Canada

They took the lasers out after all those hippies went blind.

I heard that it was worth $100,000.. but my source isn't that reliable.. I'm sure you know more than him.

You are a lot closer to the mark on cost

Last time I took a good look at it It was a 25watt Coherent Sabre white light mixed gas tube (Argon/Krypton mix) with a closed loop water cooling system.
It had an extremly efficient PCAOM (colour changer crytal)very good white balance(essential for all the colours) and is by far one of the best laser setups I've seen for a long time and my Job for 5 years a lifetime ago was with a laser company.
I can't recall how many positions are on the table , but I think its a 20 position table and each position can theoretically output up to 4 beams
plus there is also the scanning head and I think they were using the GE G120 galvos instead of the more accurate but hellishly tempremental/expensive cambridge technology CT 6800's
Control system last time I saw it was Pangolin.

Setting up a laser display from planning the beam paths to alligning the mirrors can take days to do properly/atistically , So I am sure once the Renovations are complete (dust and debris is the lasers enemy) the show will be back

Wow, incredible explanation. You know your stuff!

holy shit... that's crazy how much technology goes into it, or you're just good at bsing jk But damn you're like an Einstein for lasers lol

Holy shit... and I thought the Guv was growing new sharks to fit into the new laser harnesses.

Heck guys , Lasers are no rocket science, like any job you learn whats relevant in your field. Mine is club A/V so it goes with the territory

Whilst i don't work for Charles (most people know where I work) I have to admit that when he buys something , he always buys "right" and never seems to worry about the price as long as its the right equipment.

Same goes for the Liquid Nitrogen, I am not familiar with who did Guv's system but it is very similar to the work done by Kryogenifex. Who are considered the worlds leaders is Nitrogen systems.

I think you are very correct on that one
Shhhh....you're giving away the secrets


Thanks for the tech breakdown dude, I was WAY OFF, $100,000 is much more like it.

I must say that 25w is a buttload of laser light to be used indoors in a club setting, I hope they don't have it at full power. (flash blindness can occur at just a couple of watts)

I use Spectraphysics mixed gas lasers operating at only 18 watts outside to illuminate BUILDINGS, no wonder people like the lasers at Guv.

I remember the first time I went there.. I was in complete heaven. It was like I was walking into my first club all over again. I now compare every club to Guv. You should come by and check out their laser show sometime.

I think I should

There are lots close to your age at Guv. I hope you're Asian too - you'll fit right in.

lmao, couple days ago at Guv I saw an Asian lady probably 50 sitting in front of the speakers... That's messed up, doesn't she have a family to take care of, or something better to do?

That's a scary thought, a bunch of people trying to relive their 80s club days, without the oversprayed hair.

I know this one couple,the mans like 55 and the wife is 40 but i havent seen sucha nice milf looking 40 yr old lady( if you look @ her she doesnt look forty prolly 30 something )

P.S shes sooo sweet & friendly as well...... everytime i go to guv, i see her in the gallery her man gets so jelouse when she comes over to say hi

Ok enough with my " Chronicles of Narnia " now lets get back to the topic .....here's a video i cant stop watching over and over again.....Love the lazer's in it.

On that note.. my favourite guv laser video...

Here's my favourite laser video:



it gets better in the middle.

That's insane.. I wonder how much something like that costs

All i can say is WOW
