New Lights &
Lasers
Having sorted the Hi
Fi out the other year, 2004 was the time to sort the lighting
out in the front room. Some time ago I bought a basic 2nd Hand
Hypermoon, and I also had a small strobe. What I really wanted
is a proper sound to light of some description, and a nice green
laser.
I had a look around,
and decided that even though it was more than I wanted to spend
the EU cosmic 210 with controller seemd like a possibility. I
popped over to Coventry top have a look at one, and promptly realised
why it was priced so low compared to the others in the EU range.
What I was after was
a proper full beam with tunnels etc, you know the stuff. Well
the Cosmic 210 just didn't cut the mustard. I had a look at several
others which were way out of my price range, so I bought a quite
effective twin red unit, and a controller, and a set of sound
to light units. The idea to get a more expensive green laser at
a later stage.
Having returned home
and pondered my purchases, I decided Sod it, I will buy a ProLaser
2, and damn the expense. This is a real toy, and I am abosolutely
deighted with it. Far more than I intended to spend by miles,
but it is the real unit.
The two lasers and
the sound to light units are set up either side of the chimney
stack, and a controller system has been set up at the side of
the settee to control all the lights without having to move at
all!
Couple this lot up
with a Mojo Spinsmaster, fog machine, bubble machine - got that
for the dog - well my excuse anyway, and a strobe. The lights
work rather well.
Ideal for a Hawkwind
session, and you alter the lights to the tracks both using the
sound to light, and the manual controls. What a wonderful toy.
Other pictures detailing
the bits etc will be added soon, but in the mean time here are
a few quick shots of the laser effects. The images do not do it
justice, but it gives you an idea of how the fron room looks at
night some days:-)
