My God...It's full of stars - Neon, Psychedelia, Colourspace, Trip-a-Tron and all flavours of VLM...

Yes, possibly, but it would lose it's effect somewhat.

So essentially, the laserpod can only function in complete darkness (which I am very seldom with my buddies). Hmmm......I'll have to give it some thought.

A room with no other light sources on I would say is more accurate.

Save your money?

sure...get technical. you know what I meant.

I am so eager to get one but if it'll only do good when I want to sleep it might not be worth it. I want to at least show it off to some friends

If you're broke then better forget it. I think the possibility is too high that you're disappointed.
Maybe not, but if money is an important issue...
I know you said it doesn't work well on the roof, but would it work ok if it was placed near a wall in a dimly lit room?
This is my pod: next to a wall, no diffusor, height of the roof: dunno. Not high. There are several bulbs on in the room, but none of them stronger than 30 watt.

Yes, I know, an image like the above doesn't say much about luminosity. :)

Oh, and... welcome, nuf, to this place of digital wonders, colourful lights, and sheep. :D
Have a sheepoid.

Hiya PVB.... Thanks....

I have big love for lasers, we have this funny little party once a year held over here in NZ, held in a native forest and well a video, light, laser show in the middle of a forest (not a clearing, a forest!) is just breath taking to witness....

So thats where the big laser love began, that and I would like to own a big enough one to be able to play asteroids on low flying clouds! :-P

The Color Cubes seem to have dropped off the face of the earth, but these things look nice, and the price is right:

Don't know if the color-shifting is as sublime as my LT-500, but the overall design is much sleeker, and you could stack four together into an LT-900-sized display for considerably less cash. Hell, you could just about tile a wall with the things.

I'm not sure how I stumbled across the laserpod but this place was the first place to go in seeing if anyone else has posted about it... and sure enough, yes :D

Seems to be going for around $60 on eBay these days so... I dunno.
I may pick one up in the future.... though it seems like you'd have to have several to get the entire room (12x14) happily covered.

Aphex Twin does seem like it'd be a great fit... someone should upload a youtube vid with that in the dark with some nice tunes...
