In my last post I talked about artist Chris Levine’s portraits of Queen Elizabeth. I should also note that Levine is the creator of the Laserpod, a decorative lighting device using lasers. There are different versions of housings; here is one of them:
From the Laserpod website: “The product uses three electronic lasers and three blue and purple LEDs … chosen by the inventor so that the combination of their wavelengths as a background to the red lasers gives a super sensory experience.” The new Laserpod Supernova includes a green laser in addition to the three red lasers.
Laserpod comes with diffusers which go on top of the cylinder, to create an ambient lamp. Of course, most laserists would remove the diffusers to create a mini-lightshow on walls or ceiling:
Pricing seems reasonable for an artist-created laser lighting device: USD $60 for the least-costly units, and $199 for the Supernova with one green/three red lasers plus 3 LEDs. If you are interested, check out the Laserpod website.
