Wicked Lasers Evo Handheld Laser, $149.95 It even works without fog…but seriously, who would want to? It’s even got a remote: laser + remote = geek-gasm! The credit card-sized remote allows you to customize the laser show from a distance, letting you choose laser colors, effects, and on and on! EDM fans unite – this is so much better than cheesy glow sticks. It sets up on the included tripod in 30 seconds, and you’re off to trippyland. Don’t let the low cost and size fool you – this little guy pumps out a series of impressive shows, with multi-colored lasers and effects. The Min Laser is tiny – about the size of a paperback book (remember those?) – but this thing blasts out a pro-quality show, both trippy and surprising. The Chauvet Min Laser FX 2.0 Mini Laser Light Show, $119.99
The music feature is extra cool – it automatically sets the laser show to the beat of the music, which sucks when James Taylor is playing, but then, everything sucks when James Taylor is playing. Add music, a little fog, and bam, you’re DeadMau5! It’s got a ton of different shows, multi-colored lasers, and DMX connectors to program and synchronize the Scorpion with other effects.
Break one of these out at a party, and watch what happens. Don’t let the pink color fool you: This laser’s all man.
Ridiculously mesmerizing, Chauvet crammed a funky, professional club-quality laser show in a package the size of a shoebox, with all the settings and features DJs would expect. The Chauvet Scorpion Storm FXGB, $249.99 Use it to pop balloons from a distance, burn stuff, signal alien spacecraft…it’s all good.
It burns when I point it at my skin – thankfully, it shipped with protective eyewear, or I’d be using a braille keyboard right now. It’s beautifully machined from knurled T6 Aircraft-Grade Aluminum, and looks and feels exactly like a light saber (trust me, I KNOW).
According to the maniacs at Wicked Lasers, the 2W version of the Arctic is the most powerful handheld laser in the world, and I’m not going to argue – they might vaporize me. Wicked Lasers Spyder III Arctic Handheld Laser, $299.00-$599.00
