Why the X8 Works in Small Rooms
Clean Look, Zero Clutter
The X8 lives in the ceiling—no stands, no visible wires, no visual noise. You keep your décor; you gain bold laser lights that feel built-in.
Three Effects, One Fixture
Dual 2×10W RGBW butterfly beams, a 20W white strobe, and red/green laser dots deliver layered depth like stage laser lights—without multiple fixtures.
Low Power, Bright Output
At 50 W rated power, the X8 is efficient yet punchy—great for apartments where thermal and electrical headroom matter.
No-Console Parties
Tap Auto or Sound Active when you just want to hit play; add DMX512 later if you crave precise programming worthy of pro DJ lights.

Capture-Perfect Looks
Lighting for Reels
Lower ambient light and add light haze so beam edges “pop.” This multiplies the perceived brightness of your laser light projector on camera and elevates the laser light show vibe.
Camera Path
Aim the RGBW butterfly across the lens line (not into it) so fans look larger and more cinematic in clips.
Strobe Etiquette
Use brief white hits on chorus drops and countdowns. Short, intentional pops read dramatic; constant strobe can fatigue guests in small rooms.
Neighbor-Friendly Lighting
- Beam aiming: Angle toward interior walls; close curtains after 10 pm.
- Strobe comfort: Keep duty cycles short; mount above eye level.
- Sound, not noise: Pair X8 with a small sub—rich bass at modest volume travels less.
Installation Notes for Apartments
Embedded Ceiling Basics
Plan a Ø20 cm cutout with ≥18 cm cavity depth and keep ventilation around the body. The flush-mount finish preserves a minimalist look even when lights are off.
Renter Tips
If you can’t cut a structural ceiling, consider a soffit/false-ceiling panel with landlord approval—clean results, easy reversal, and the same embedded ceiling aesthetic.
Pro Help
A quick pro install ensures safe power/DMX runs and tidy alignment, letting your home channel a stage laser lights vibe with zero clutter.

Studios: one X8 centered. 1-bedrooms: two X8 in Master-Slave for mirrored sweeps.
Will the X8 fit a 20 cm ceiling cutout with 18 cm depth?
Yes—plan Ø20 cm cutout with ≥18 cm cavity and allow airflow around the chassis.
How do I keep the white strobe comfortable in small rooms?
Use brief white pops above eye line and keep duty cycles short—dramatic impact without fatigue.
Can I start with one unit and expand later?
Absolutely. Starshine supports small-batch orders; add a second X8 later for symmetry.
