I am looking for some information on lasers for use in party settings. I
do some D.J. work on weekends, and I have designed much of the lighting
effects that I use myself. Now I want to investigate using lasers.
Can anyone out there tell me if low powered lasers are commercially
available, and if so, where I might obtain one or more?
What about the hardware required to control the laser/s?
Also, if you have any suggestions for me to explore regarding latest
sophisticated (or even not-so-sophisticated) lighting systems which might
be appropriate for my purposes, I would be most grateful for suggestions and
information.
Thanks,
Murray @ Stony Brook.

Whatever you do, make sure people's eyes are not in the
direct laser light, otherwise you run a real risk of causing
permanent retinal damage. This can happen with low-power HeNe
lasers as easily as with the CO2 type that burn through walls.
Be careful working with the thing yourself. You won't feel a thing
when your eyes get damaged, either. Look into protective goggles.
