I wish the states didnt have that law banning lasers from pointing at the crowd. I read a statistic saying the chances are slim to none for a beam to mess your eye up. It has to be at an exact angle and be at that position for some time for any damage.
Lasers just add so much that basic lights cant do.

Re: Laser appreciation thread
I totally agree with you here. When I was at Trance Energy in Holland in March of 2007 in the Hard Trance room, being swallowed up by a 360 degree laser show absolutly blew my mind..

Just don't ever point your camera lens directly in the laser's path!

some of the laser shows into the crowd are safer but there is no such thing as safe crowd scanning. The slower moving the worse, get a static beam in your eye and you will have a life long blur. Some of the beams in that video I wouldnt call safe but that is always argueable. Regaurdless, the laws in the states suck and make my shows that much hard to accomidate clubs.

its nuts how that one laser can split into so many parts. I mean it has colors between a color and what not. THat thing is so powerfull. I mean ive seen multicolored lasers but never one of this level. This thing can do an entire room with effects like the spiral one, instead of just cheesy lettering.

yeh, the laser has many good colors. Most likely it is an argon/krypton laser probably running off 100amps of 480vac current. These things are power hungry

So lasering the crowd is illegal? Is this recent? I was at the Roger Waters show at the bowl this spring and they had a few lasers that swept the crowd. (A huge line of lasers in a rainbow pattern sweeping the crowd during "Any Colour You Like"... blew my mind.)

That video was amazing. I was really impressed with the dancing girl halfway through.
