Whatever happened to keeping lasers off of people and out of their eyes?
Exactly, above head height and pointing upwards...that's the rule...but not with these it appears...anyone for lazer eye correction?
Same issue with the Chauvet Swarm 5 FX. At least the new Chauvet GigBar IRC laser portion is adjustable separately.
For some gigs, you don't get much space, so I appreciate the availability of something that could be fixed under a speaker if needed .. it's just these dang lasers.
The Swarm 5 FX has seven different "Auto" modes. At least one of those disables the laser.
Same with the Fusion above I'm sure .. it's just I find it strange that a product is designed in that fashion to begin with .. unless the warning on lasers is pure hokum.
I was just saying this same thing the other day - I've noticed a few new laser effects being released that are completely designed to be a dance floor effect meaning shot directly into peoples faces. This confuses me as well because I always make sure to NEVER shoot lasers at eye level
You can aim lasers to a Dance Floor without aiming it in someones eyes. 5 feet up, close to the Dance Floor and pointed DOWN will not shine in anyone's eyes. Unless someone want to lay on the floor and look into the unit's lens.
At 5 feet, you're at eye level with many women .. and most kids .. still not an ideal location. I suppose if you point it straight down it may work, but then you have no effect. Remember the beams aren't straight out of a laser, there is a conical field, so even at a 45 degree angle at 5', some of the light will hit someone in the eyes.
