    Default Variance for a custom built laser

    If I was going to get into building my own laser (which does fascinate me, and would be a fun project with my background of electronics), how do you classify it when applying for a variance? I do plan on using it for shows once it's built, tested and finished. The application requires a "model number/manufacturer" - what would you put?

    You decide that model number/name/serial number when you do the manufacturer's report on the projector, which goes along with the variance app form. If your building your own or getting a foreign model approved, you do the manufacturer's report showing compliance as well as the application form. If the projector is already aproved, you use the name/serial/ model number already on the projector nameplate. You do have a nameplate on the unit, required by the rules.

    This would be typical if your doing your own report:

    JOHN DOE
    MODEL: SCANTASTIC LASER PROJECTOR
    SERIAL -01

    OR

    JOHN DOE, DBA* DJ PHOTONIX
    MODEL LRU SCANTASTIC
    SERIAL NUMBER -1-

    OR

    XYZ LASERS INC
    LRU SCANTASTIC
    SERIAL # 1234

    *DBA = Doing Business As...

    Anything is acceptable as long as it states make, model, and serial in a reasonable form.

    Scantastic is a homage~ to one of the people who taught me lasers. He had it in his sample paperwork.
