[kikilolo310]

what song?

[rissevonzane]

What model lasers are the three that you use if you don't mind me asking

[martin0mac2000]

the lasers that are in this vid are the DL-33 and the DL-22+ (i think)

[mmaustralia]

Hey John. Do you get much of a delay between switching the remote button on and lights starting up?

[martin0mac2000]

there useually is a start up time of around 5 secs for the lasers and its like 15secs for the Dynamos

[bizzyb53]

John, Nice video. Do you set your truss any higher or leave it at that height? You really set me on the right path to a super light show. Thanks again

[directsound]

Dam crazy cool light Show!!! DJ Mikey Mike

[Maxsdiscos]

Hi John,

just a couple of questions

1. What type are your lasers ?

2. What type of switching unit do you use ?

[martin0mac2000]

1. He uses Shinp Lasers the dual green is the DL-33 and the dual RGY is the DL-22+ most likely

2. he uses remote controled powerboards to switch his FX

[mjmaleski]

In your video you said that if you can't look at the laser without turning away it's too bright, so I was wondering there are alot of different lasers out there with alot of power levels. Generally what do you think is a good safe power level 4.5mW, or can I go a little more than that? Great video by the way.

[martin0mac2000]

i useually use a 50mw to crowd scan and the one john has in the vid i think is around 60mw

[Djrobo2000]

I really like your light set up, Great video mate!

[olliejamesdrums]

Your setup is fantastic!

I've got 4 Dynamo scans & 2 Acme Magic Gobos but i'm looking for a centrepiece. I'd also love an LED starball. I normally use a 3m truss system, so was thinking of mounting an LED starball on the joining tube and mounting some kind of LED effect under-neath.

What would you suggest? I've been looking at the REVO 3, but i'm not sure!

Thanks, Ollie

Man, Johnny boy, your light show is a constant inspiration to us to keep improving and keep thinking about what we offer to the customer. Top stuff as usual - I'm looking forward to getting together with ya at Vegas!

[DjTRex08]

I never thought about having a light show within a light show using different lights at different times & the way your lights are set you can run different seens or show depending on your crowd & or music great tip some thing to ponder....

[bigalhouk]

Wheres Your Head At

[djstereoslave]

your light show is awsome man!!! I like how you keep it all symetrical. I have learned alought from your vids keep em coming!!!

[shamamster]

thats a crazy lightshow, i have to save up and get me one like that haha.

[jasperibe]

Great video John...

Do you link the Penguins (Electra's)???

What type of controller are you using to control your lights?

[martin0mac2000]

The Penguins you cannot link they do not have DMX they are purely a sond active light

[DJCyRo]

I have 2 VUE 1's, and 2 Electra's also. Got em cuz they were both inexpensive and effective. Where you have a REVO, I have a VUE III. That's were our light shows are similar.

I don't have any lasers, or haologen scanners or starballs. I do have 2 halogen derby lights, which I will use like you use your starballs. Eventually I'll get into the laser world. I'm thinking of getting 2-4 colorstrips also, and put them vertically on the light stands.

[jearley2424]

Very good Captain Laser really special couple of vids....thanks je

[Maxsdiscos]

You are one of a few who does it properly...When I've been to Discos in the past, you see DJs with All the lights on at the same time...it looks a complete Mess!

Max

[jearley2424]

max im hurt you said i was the only one that you loved......je

[Maxsdiscos]

what Jearley?

[lovtrain]

What are the lazers? the ones on the sides and one in the middle. Make model etc?

They look pretty cool .

Just wanted to know what they are like without smoke because most venues dont allow smoke anymore.

[jasperibe]

The ones on the side are SHINP DLP-33 (pls correct me if i am wrong John)

[sleeperawaken36]

If you can never use fog, you probably should not get lasers, as they really are a fog effect, you are NOT going to see the laser beam without any fog, just lines on the wall.

[djadsellman]

nice vid m8

iv got 4 dynamos there great :]

[Gr33nyG]

Very nice video man. So like, reckon youd be able to drive up your lights to Brisbane for me so I can do a 21st? Cheers man, Ill buy you a 6 pack for your trouble :D

[lovtrain]

What were the lazers on the sides. they had 2 lazers in one unit and they looked really cool. also how visable are they without smoke?

I think i'm guna take ur advice and i've had a look around at some lighting for my trus and i wana get 2 starballs because they look really nice. Are urs the DMX ones?

Also one or 2 KAM swingfires and hopefully when i can a lazser. think that would be a gd start and look pretty nice.

Any suggestions would be gd.

Cheers

[martin0mac2000]

the Lasers were from Shinp the Dual tunnel greens are probs the DL-33

[DJMGM88]

Amazing light show, the best results are to have your lights symmetrical so you get an even show and it looks great...
