Scorpion Lasers to debut at PLASA

USA - Chauvet at PLASA will launch a series of high power 40mW to 80mW lasers with the introduction of the Scorpion Scan 40 and the Scorpion Scan 80 green lasers, plus the Scorpion 55RG-64 red and green laser. Presented in distinctive metallic red casings, these three high-efficiency lasers respond to DMX-512 control via seven channels. They also operate on stand-alone mode via DMX and in master/slave mode. Each yields more than 200 laser effects achieved through controlled variations in the speed of scanning, the speed of 40 preset dynamic patterns and adjustments in the size of 40 pre-set static patterns and X and Y positioning.

They use scanning mirrors for pattern projection and positioning, creating the broad range of effects. Scorpion Scan 40 and Scorpion 80 are outfitted with a 40mW laser diode and an 80mW diode, respectively, yielding highly intense beams. Scorpion 55RG-64 is equipped with a 40mW green diode and a 60mW red diode. All three fixtures can use a power source of either 110V or 230/240V.

Other convenient features include sound-sensitivity control, micro-stepping motors and an efficient internal cooling fan. Compact in size and weighing under 4.5 kgs, they are equally suited for permanent installations and mobile applications say the company.
