Be wary of lasers
Fernando Lopez:
So I was at a local DJ Store and the guy offered me a new chinese laserthey just got
He shoots some fog in the store and tells me to stand in front of it to see the full effect
I agreed (stupid of me) and as soon as he turned it on got out of the way
Than I asked him to point it at the speker next to the laser:

So be very careful!! only you can know about laser reesponsability not the guy at the DJ Store
Stay Safe!!!
David Elsbury:
So what's your point? If the laser is half decent, it would have a label stating the minimum distance between the source and the nearest object.
Even if it doesn't, why would anyone in their right mind point it at anything at a range of a metre or less? (what the video looks like at least)
And why, when you see it burning/melting the speaker, why would you leave it running for over 10 seconds? 0.o

my point is that DJs are buying unsafe lasers and pointing them at people's eyes and these things are dangerous

As if killing the ears wasn't enough-now they are going for the eyes HA-HA
Sorry couldn't resist-what's next-smell/taste?

Knives are sharp
shouldnt this be in the lighting forum, anyway? In 11 years of doing dj systems, I have never had to do anything more than provide power for a laser.
