Lowest power I have seen is a 1W analog from LaserKing AND that was a special modification by LK. Looks like you are getting the best replies on this.Ĭheap AND analog don't go together - Cheap = TTL NOT analog.

But their software only works with their own DACs which is pretty expensive and you'd be locked to an ecosystem.

I believe Showtacle is working on some full blown laser suite for mac. Also maxwell works on mac but again that's kind of niche, it's only a synthesizer. Laserdock's own apps work with it, but they are a bit limited, you can't make a full custom laser show with it for example. You can get super weak diodes, like 50mW per channel for cheaper, but no one makes projectors that weak as it would be practically useless for beamshows.Īs for Mac, unfortuantely there isn't much laser software for other platforms than windows now. Even if you go lower in power, it won't get cheaper as you'd still have to use basically the same kind of diodes. That's simply because that's the sweet spot of price for blue diodes. Even though it's 1W, if you look at the colors you can see that the blue channel accounts for like 700mW of that or more.
The power of those projectors are unfortunately around the cheapest level you can get.

There are some overlaps: LSX, maxwell and LasershowGen support both the Laserdock and Helios, but Laserdock has the edge as you get their proprietary software with it for free too, like the visualizer etc.
The main difference is probably the software it supports. The specs of the DACs are similar if I dare say so myself. But I haven't tried this one personally so I don't know whether it's actually as good as the laserdock or not. You don't say whether or not the $500 limit includes a DAC or not but paired with for example one of my Helios DACs it will just barely be below $500 excluding shipping. The analog modulation is optional so make sure to specify that. It has 520nm direct green which is more reliable and gives better modulation performance than DPSS green. Otherwise there's this, which seems to be manufactured by the same people as manufactures the Laserdock and with similar specs, except ILDA input instead of integrated DAC, and cheaper. Downside is no ilda input so you have to use the integrated dac. Noiseless too which is great for hobby use.
It has a dac integrated so you save a bit of money there, and the projector is relatively good quality. If you step up the price a little bit there's the Laserdock at $700. However luckily both the manufacturers were honest enough to send a replacement. That happened with the green module in two of my projectors after just a few hours of operation. Perhaps the most important factor is whether the company you buy from are respectable with good customer service because it's likely that you will need it, because the cheap parts often lead to something breaking. I've bought from four different companies, Meierlight, Spacelas, Laserking and EMMA Light and they were all comparable. It probably won't matter much which you buy, they will all likely be similar quality. With that price you're basically stuck with cheap chinese options.
