DJ Lights & Laser Projectors: The Perfect Pair
Think broad washes from dj lights plus razor beams from a laser projector. That mix creates a layered look no single fixture can deliver. On Starshine you’ll find options for living rooms to outdoor stages:
O30 — 30W Outdoor Laser Projector (IP65)
True-RGB 30 W output, IP65 durability, 40 kpps scanning. Ideal as a laser light show projector outdoor for festivals, façades and large lawns.
T2 — Compact RGB Laser Projector
Small body, full-color animations. A great portable laser projector for pop-ups or bedroom studio looks (mini laser star projector style skyscapes).
Blend either unit with a dj light bar or LED PARs and you get motion, color fill, and crisp laser beams working in harmony. Compared with only PARs, audience immersion is night-and-day.

How to Choose Your DJ Lights & Laser Projector Setup
1) Venue size & throw distance
- Small clubs / rooms: T2 + 2–4 dance lights fixtures build a complete look.
- Outdoor festival / long throws: O30 maintains beam integrity at 200–500 m.
2) Portability & short-throw needs
- Portable laser projector: T2 fits a backpack; quick set, minimal crew.
- Short-throw booths: choose a laser projector short throw lens to keep graphics crisp.
3) Control: sound mode vs DMX
- Sound-trigger: quickest setup for bar gigs and house parties.
- DMX512: sync all dj lights and the laser projector for precise cues and chases.
- Moving-laser option: M3 RGB Laser Moving Head = moving-head dynamics + laser precision.

DJ Lights vs. Party Lights: What’s the Difference?
DJ lights = higher lumen output, richer color mixing, more control channels. Great for clubs, weddings and mobile DJs.
Party lights = simpler spots/washes for casual home events.
Why spend more on DJ fixtures?
- Brighter coverage for larger rooms and stages.
- Advanced beam shaping for disco lights-style looks without hot spots.
- Full DMX personalities for complex truss scenes and timecode shows.

Creative Uses & Conversion Tips
- Christmas laser projector: swap to festive palettes; T2 can project snowflake-style animations on ceilings.
- Outdoor laser light projector: host backyard movies or holiday shows on a white wall with O30.
- Portable laser projector: bring T2 to pop-ups; no crew needed.
