Everything You Need To Know About Laser Lighting (In 90 Minutes)
Friday, November 16, 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm

What's new in the field of lasers used for light shows in clubs, installations, concerts and large-scale events? Discover how new technologies have improved equipment from low-end beam systems, to the most accurate laser graphics displays. Find out what systems you can buy and install yourself, and when it is best to hire a specialist laser show producer. If you have considered adding the excitement of laser beams and graphics, this overview is for you.

Tentatively scheduled to present (about 12 minutes max. each):

  • Jim Hardaway, Neo-Neon

  • Tom Harman, LaserNet

  • Robert Harper, Hollywood Pro Lighting and Event Services

  • Alex Hennig, LOBO

  • Mark Jacoby, Mountain Megabytes
     

Laser Safety and Audience Scanning
Saturday, November 17, 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm

Explore the basic concepts of how to keep laser shows safe and comfortable for the audience. What permits and equipment are required for various installations and events. And, you won't want to miss the premiere demonstration of the first system permitted by the U.S. government to do European-style laser beams directly into the audience.

Caution for event producers: Any time you contract for a U.S.-based laser show, be sure the laser company has an FDA variance (permit). If audience scanning will be used, the variance must specifically allow audience scanning under FDA-specified conditions. At LDI, we will be demonstrating new technologies which allow a much wider variety of safe, legal, FDA-approved audience scanning effects.

Tentatively scheduled to present (about 30 minutes max. each):

  • William Benner, Pangolin

  • Alex Hennig, LOBO

  • Greg Makhov, LSDI
     

Advanced Laser Lighting Topics
Sunday, November 18, 11:00 am - 12:30 pm

Since 2000, laser equipment has improved dramatically. Small plug-in-the-wall lasers are replacing the huge water-cooled, 240-volt lasers previously needed. While green still gives the most "bang for the buck", full-color systems are increasingly common. More and more projectors have DMX interfaces, making it easy to control them live or in automated modes. Find out about these improvements and talk to the experts on how to incorporate lasers into your future.

Tentatively scheduled to present (about 12 minutes max. each):

  • William Benner, Pangolin

  • George Dodworth, Lightwave International

  • Jim Hardaway, Neo-Neon

  • Tom Harman, LaserNet

  • Tim Walsh, Laser Spectacles & ILDA President
