Laserpod - and other mods
Reading the Laserpod article on the news page got me thinking ....
What sort of case mod would this device make ? I've got tons of space in my case. Any idea about the actual size of it ?
Please tell me if you think I should try and get a life instead ... :razz:
Not a bad idea. But the laser device looks so cool you might as well just stick it on top of your box, so it lights up your whole room. That would look pretty darn cool
Laserpods available locally now!
You can get the Laserpod's from the local guys now with free shipping. I dropped one in my case with a bathroom magnifying mirror in it to disperse the light even more...

LASERPOD
Laserpod is one of the most innovative lighting products since the lava lamp in the sixties, now an icon of that era. Laserpod is equally as resonant with this modern age and is a classic in the making. It was born out the cultures of music, fashion and art and will likely become an icon of this millennial age.
It is the patented invention of the innovative UK light artist Chris Levine, who’s varied and ground breaking work in light has ranged from light sculptures for the band Massive Attack and some of the most leading edge fashion designers, to an historic hologram portrait of the Queen of England. His work is about the experience of seeing and the living power of light, an ethos that is distilled into Laserpod.
The product uses three electronic lasers and three blue and purple LEDs [light emitting diodes] chosen by the inventor so that the combination of their wavelengths as a background to the red laser gives a super sensory experience. This intense light energy is projected through a rotating crystal and the output of this wondrous device can only be described as awe inspiring.
With the diffusers on top of the alloy cylinder, as supplied in the package, the effects are contained and Laserpod becomes a soothing ambient lamp. However, the visual magic starts when the diffusers are removed - the light-forms will radiate and project across an entire room.
You can interact with Laserpod by placing on top anything optical. Glass, crystal or clear plastics will produce the most profoundly beautiful effects that will continually evolve in time. For the best Laserpod experience, the device should be activated in complete darkness when the subtler more meditative and organic beams will be seen - these are quite extraordinary and are unique to Laserpod.
Laserpod is portable and can function for up to 8 hours on three Alkaline AA batteries or run directly from the mains on its power pack.
Photography and video will not do Laserpod justice and nothing can compare to the experience of seeing it perform live.
