MrMr Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Hey guys Started to plan for next year show...... I am looking to add 4 moving head beams on my roof that would create a visible beam of light and is weather proof and that can be controlled by LOR. Does not have to reach very far up in the sky but needs to create a visible beam. Any recommendations? C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I think about the only way you can accomplish this is with a fogger to see the light beam. I use a couple Chauvet moving heads and the only way to see a beam with them is to use a fogger. Then, you have to contend with even a slight breeze blowing the smoke in the wrong direction, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMr Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 ahh that sucks. I thought there was stronger beams on the market that would show up. Maybe too expensive/highend? C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyD Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Read this thread -http://forums.lightorama.com/index.php?/topic/34358-the-great-christmas-light-fight-is-on-now-discussion/?view=findpost&p=317373&hl=%2Bstar+%2BwarsThen google Star Wars Christmas Light Show. I've seen it in person. It is impressive and it can be done without foggers. I believe it's pretty expensive though!Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Blatt Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Stronger beams = more money...a lot more money. If you want to deal with triggering foggers, it's a lot cheaper. Remember, what you're seeing when you see the beam is the light reflecting off of particles in the air, whether that be naturally generated fog or man made smoke/haze. That is the key to seeing the beams of light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santas Helper Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) Remember, what you're seeing when you see the beam is the light reflecting off of particles in the air, whether that be naturally generated fog or man made smoke/haze. That is the key to seeing the beams of light. And particles of air carry dust, smog and moisture on this planet. With a bright enough light, you will get a beam without a fogger/hazer.

MrMr Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 Dont want to deal with foggers (too windy here). Read the post on starwars, pretty darn cool video also but dont think he says anywhere what he is using does he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
