How much does it cost for a professional laser light show?
A laser light show is not just a pile of expensive hardware operated by a technician. It is the end result of the operator using the equipment, along with an acute visual sense and a highly developed aural sense, to create artistic entertainment in which “synaesthesia” (the coordination of sight with sound) occurs. Liteupamerica is a multi-faceted company with the vision to attempt this goal of synaesthesia. .
Pricing Guidelines
In order to arrive at a price for the laser show, the basic question to be answered is: where’s your show, indoors or outdoors? A good rule of thumb to start pricing the show is as follows:
Setup
Time… Indoors, six to eight hours is recommended to allow for laser show setup. Outdoors, setup and testing one or two nights before the scheduled show is recommended.
INDOORS
from $ 2,500 – $10,000
OUTDOORS
from $5,500 – $20,000
Clients requiring multiple shows can get discounts if the show remains in the same location.
Outdoor shows may cost more in order to obtain the desired effects. Shows that are outdoors are usually for large crowds of people, and often are planned for areas with a lot of ambient light. Therefore, for outdoor shows it is usually required to use higher power lasers, and design a show to fit the venue size, shape, and situation. More lasers may be needed, which will add
to the total price.
Things to look for when planning the show
Graphics
Projection… If laser graphics or logos are desired, a reasonably flat and light colored surface is required to project upon. A large white concrete wall is perfect. Laser Spectacles, Inc. carries outdoor projection screens made of Phifertex, sized 30 ft. x 20 ft. These screens can be tied onto a scaffolding frame, hung from a stage, or hung from pipes raised by a boomlift. The graphics screen will be the focal point of the show. It will provide the direction in which the audience will face, for which the beam show will be designed for maximum effect.
