"Many of the big sound & light retailers in Europe listed the products quickly after the product release and the demand from the customers was great," says Norbert Stangl, sales & marketing director at Laserworld. "We set this product line to provide a semi-professional laser show system at significantly low pricing, but with professional features like the latest diode-only technology and analogue modulation."
The Diode Series RGB white light products are available in three different power levels with up to 800mW, 1,800mW and 3,300mW: The DS-900RGB, the DS-1800RGB and the DS-3300RGB. All Diode Series units have automatic mode, sound-to-light mode, DMX512 capability and an ILDA (computer control) interface. The Diode Series units are diode-only systems, meaning they are equipped with semiconductor laser sources, which provides the advantage of great colour fading behaviour and a great beam profile.
The pricing level of the Diode Series is set very low. Norbert Stangl adds, "We decided to design a product that is at a pricing level mobile DJs and nightclubs can afford, without the need to making a big compromise. It is obvious that these customers need the flexibility to use a show laser light system in a way that they don't have to care too much about laser control, but still require good quality gear. This is where the Diode Series enters the scene: It comes with a switchable scan fail safety for additional laser safety, and its operation is very easy."
The Diode Series units have beam specifications of ca. 3mm/1.3mrad and a scan speed of 40kpps@4° with a maximum scan angle of 40°. The housing of the Diode Series units is built according to the Sealed Housing Technology and thus has no air flow inside (which reduces maintenance efforts to a minimum) - the temperature control is done with cooling fins on the lower part of the unit, combined with small and silent fans.
