Something I ran across on Alibaba....

I'd have serious safety concerns.

In any case, with that many lasers, surely a Pangolin Discoscan would be far cheaper.

[Stiffler]

I just found it amusing, and I 100% agree with having safety concerns.

F*ck me, that looks dangerous!
The claim 'fat beam' but even then I think the irradiance is going to be many times MPE

[White-Light]

This surely has to be cheaper (and better):

...than 72 Chinese lasers!

Why buy 72, when 1 Chinese laser and a discoscan will do the same job?

..The claim 'fat beam' but even then I think the irradiance is going to be many times MPE

Agreed. 300mW of Blue to the eye, from, what - 12-15' up, maybe?? Most 'clubs' don't have 36' celings, etc.. Extremely-bad idea and far-less-effective / cool than properly-scanned 'laser-rain'... Hope the FDA can keep these out of the US.. (..yeah, right.. - I can just see it now - 'Kryoman', with a pair of these 'twixt a lanyard, doing the 'raver glo-stick twirlies'-thing with them..

Two thumbs-down...

Ridiculous! What a scary product; I wouldn't want to get anywhere near that thing.... I feel for anyone who catches a beam in the eye from that monster.

Confused about the disco scan.

Does the laser come from the back and shine through the 'lens' or does it come from the front and bounce from the lens / mirror.

scene 1?


or scene 2?


In either case how comes it looks possible for the laser to completely fill the floor underneath the installation without being obstructed by the equipment?

I think it is awesome! I bet it looks cool when it is spinning around. I can't imagine a disco scan would look as good.

[laserLips]

I bet it looks awesome too. Wish there was a video of the laser disco ball.

And here is a better description (than pangolin's own) on this site http://www.madeffects.com/pangolin-w...nses-119-c.asp about the disco scan.
