This is an affordable and fairly bright little DMX laser out of the box. I'm a mechanical engineer, working in laser design and manufacture.The design is robust, all advertised features perform properly. Two stepper motors handle beam steering. Three laser diode modules (RGB) supply beams that are combined via anti reflection coated mirrors to achieve color mixing. This isn't a trivial task as beams must be carefully aligned in the factory to produce beams that 1. Are parallel, and 2. Travel along the same line. The manufacturer did a good job here.I actually bought 3 laser units and returned two of them as some beams (red in one, red and blue in the other) were divergent, i.e. not well collimated. This resulted in beam profiles being larger than others as the distance the beams traveled from the unit increased. So instead of purple, you'd see a red blur and a blue dot. I'm being a bit picky here though because for the price I'm very impressed.So I finally decided to put this device on a power meter. See photos.Interestingly, power output of "all colors" in color mode 7 resulted in less output power than in other color modes. I found then max unit output at any given time to be about 140mW.You standard red laser pointer is likely about 5mW, so this is indeed a bright laser.I will soon modify the unit to accept a 1500mW blue laser.I would say that standard DMX control of the system is rather clunky and very much manual. You'd never use it at a show. But if you use a computer controlled DMX software to quickly manage multiple DMX channels at once (automatically) I'd say this could be an impressive stage unit, especially if one were to upgrade laser modules as I intend to do soon.

When I saw all the good reviews, I decided to take a chance and purchase these laser lights. Be aware that they also have the same system in 2 colors. This is the 3 color model. Make sure that you get the 3 color device, which this review is about. I have bought many laser lights in my life and have been greatly disappointed by all of them. Not true of this little gem. This unit actually puts out a professional laser show. I did not expect that. But I was hoping that it would and it did. It does have a hook up in back for hooking into a professional lighting board, but I do not use that. More importantly, it has a microphone in the back with the sensitivity dial next to it. All you have to do is put this near a speaker and the lasers automatically go to the music. And no two patterns are the same. It is different every time. It changes as the music changes or the voice changes, meaning the singer. Essentially, the light show is never the same for each song. So who needs a mixing board? Just let it go by itself to the music. It has another dial on it which sets the perimeter of the light show. Very handy so that you don't light up areas where you don't want the lasers to go, like out the windows into your neighbors windows. Very clever. And the best part about the whole thing is that it really really works. I put a couple of songs on and showed the laser show to my friends and they were blown away. This is not some kind of little star pattern laser light show. This comes across like a professional laser light show at a concert. I could not believe the quality for the price. But after reading all of the reviews that were so good, I just had to try it out, and I'm very happy that I did because it's everything I wanted in a laser unit and more. It also comes with a remote control, battery included that works fine just as well. I really don't use the remote control a lot besides to turn it on and off. The remote control does other things as well, but I use the laser light systems microphone in the back and let the music guide the light show or should I say create the light show. An incredible value for the price. Just make sure that you get the 3 color version, which this review is about. You will not regret buying this one. The look on my friends faces were all I had to see for my own personal review. If the light show becomes too intense, just turn the control in the back and it will become less sensitive to the sound. Perfect.
