Record size shows for USA?

[Phredy1]

Just curious what is the largest laser shows (total lasers power) ever done in the USA? Indoor and outdoor?

In the description it says "World record Laser Light Show by Lightwave International. "

Not sure what they mean by that..... but maybe this can help your question.

I worked on one weekend outdoor show in the 90s with 6 large frames and a 60 watt Lee Laser once.
I'm more then aware that the fellow I worked for had far more hardware then that...

Grand Coulee Dam has got to be #2, if not 1.. the (former) Riverscape in Dayton, OH, a close-follower.. also, iirc, 'Stone Mountain', in GA, is still firing about 75W of Color nightly, and 2x 45W KTPs, so.. not bad..

Of course, the blokes from 'Lightwave', I am sure will chime in and contest, since they regularly shoot, what, 160,000 Watts at most of their shows... Personally, I still remain largely unimpressed, since I'm a firm believer in quality / creativity and variety, over sheer-quantity.. ..though, I do tip the hat to the OPSL 'sky-rainbows'... nice joerb..

I think we could be a contender for one of the 'most, (out of one box), at a club'.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzE6vndohwQ 26W of Angry Irish Beams..

lightwave: 10x 30Ws https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-BQ4wT3_Bs edc 2011
lightwave: 19+ 30Ws https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHaiz12YEOw edc 2012 (3 on main stage, then there were 16 different stands surrounding the dancefloor with 2 lasers on each)...


edc 2012 also had 4 10Ws on the dnb stage, 4 (unknown wattage) lasers on the q-dance stage... So thats a ton of laser power.


That's all I know of at the moment for impressive laser power at shows...

Grand Coulee is very nice to watch with the flood gates open at dusk. I was lucky enough to get into the projection booth when I visited .

Not saying there's more lasers, but Lightwaves Ghostland Observatory video is more intense:




That said I'm with DSLI John on this.

Quality over quantity. I regular see people rave on about Kvant's installation of 28 (?) projectors in Amnesia, Ibiza but to my mind when you have that many they just become like normal moving heads in use. To me the beauty of laser is in the beam qualities. I'd much rather see 3 well used projectors than 10+.

By far the best part in the Ghostland show is when just 4 lasers open out into multicoloured fans and pause overhead.

Recently, I realised that I have never witnessed a laser show with more than 4 heads that impressed me.
On the other hand, you seem to need at least 4 intelligent fixtures to create a convincing conventional light show...

I can't approach the power aspect of this, but does 4,000 square feet of lumia count?

6.5W of RGB up a 250' wall. 6 laser cannons on a stick. See my post elsewhere about this.
