New: Laserpod Galaxy
Remember the nebulous, psychedelic sky from Flash Gordon? Well imagine looking at it through a kaleidoscope from inside Jim Morrison's altered state of mind and you'd begin to understand the mesmerizing beauty of the Laserpod.
Inspired by dance culture, the new Laserpod Galaxy features red, blue and orange LEDs! Yes indeed, light lovers; using the latest in laser, LED and crystal optics, the incredible Laserpod brings science and nature together to create ever-changing organic light forms of profound beauty. At least that's what it says on the box. But in this case, we'd have to agree. 
Created by lighting artist extraordinaire Chris Levine in conjunction with top fashion photographer Mario Testino, the cast aluminum Laserpod is available in two versions; the Original and Galaxy. Both contain a class 2 red laser and blue LEDs which are projected through a rotating cut glass crystal onto two specially coated, clip-on plastic diffusers. The Laserpod Galaxy takes things up a notch by throwing an orange LED into the mix. Are you still with us? Good.
The effect is not dissimilar to a kind of hi-tech, souped-up lava lamp. But all this is just a preamble to the main event. Because with the diffusers in place, the Laserpod acts as a spectacularly captivating piece of ambient lighting. Remove them, though, and the room is immediately transformed into a mind-boggling supernova of nebulous kaleidoscopic light. Try saying that after a few pints of brew! (Which, incidentally, is probably the best time to appreciate the marvellously mind numbing qualities of the Laserpod). With the Laserpod Original you can choose between two dazzling displays - red laser for a scintillating astral projection or a red laser / blue LED combination for awesome cosmic cloud effects.
 The new Laserpod Galaxy (pictured above) offers a warmer, more intimate, color blend than the Laserpod Original, but with a resonance embedded in dance culture. This chilled out number was developed by Laserpod and Galaxy Radio, especially for Ibiza and was featured in super-clubs like Pasha, Space and El Divino throughout the summer as a signature for top DJs Roger Sanchez, Paul Oakenfold and Jade Jagger! We don't need to tell you what a brilliant device this is for when you seriously need to chill. Indeed, the Laserpod makes all other light show-type devices look about as impressive as those traffic light affairs that wedding DJs employ when playing The Electric Slide. Despite its power, the Laserpod only requires 3 x AA batteries, but it can also be operated using the supplied AC adapter. (Handy, as time becomes an abstract phenomenon when you're busy being visually assaulted by the Laserpod). This is one item that really has to be seen to be disbelieved, and we confidently predict the Laserpod will move off our shelves faster than you can say 'Wow, man; these shape-shifting beams of light are really twisting my melon.'

"One of the most effective lighting products on the market and a great conversation piece." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
"If a Christmas trip to see the Northern Lights is out of the question, second best is the Laserpod... A laser is projected through a cut-glass crystal to create an out-of-this-world light show." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
"Switch it on and it creates a Milky Way on the ceiling." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
"If the party is getting a little raucous switch on the Laserpod. Immediately, violent guests will drop their broken bottles and look on in awe as the LEDs and lasers sketch mesmeric patterns on the inside of its domed diffuser... trippy" | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
"...A sleek, laser-powered lamp that can turn even the most boring room into an ambient make-out zone." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Well what can I say, this product is as psychedelic as Pink Floyd, and as fascinating as the known galaxy itself. It's great just to have this on in a dark dark room and just lie down and chill and look at the blissful and resonating colours. The galaxy edition is also great if you want to fall asleep, also a fun thing to do is when you have one of your friends sleeping over, and they have no idea about the Laserpod. Turn it on late into the night when you're both trying to sleep, and for about 30 minutes they will be hypnotised and puzzled about the weird colours which just appeared. . Oh and here's a bet, I bet all those doubting the Laserpod are frazzled and have just finished an order:). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
What's also good about the base station is that the cover on the back of it has a decent-sized hole so that you can hang it up on the nail in your wall and point the Laserpod directly upwards. It's a fantastic and inspiring little gadget! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Forgive me being thick, but is the only difference between the satellite, base station, and original models the shape of the unit? So the light show is the same for each one? (apart from the original comes with a diffuser). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Just got mine this afternoon. Wow...and it's not even night yet. I want to be buried with my Laserpod in my coffin with me, so that should I awaken after being accidentally pronounced dead, I would have the soothing light show to calm me before I proper snuff it! :-D. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Awesome - but could do with being brighter. Now, having read Firebox's responses to bets etc, I'd just like to say, I BET they don't send me a home planetarium for free! - or show this review!
P. S. Love the site guys!

My brother bought me a LaserPod Galaxy for Christmas and it's absolutely *brilliant*!! :^D I generally use it without any of the diffusers or the refractor lens - just seeing it projected across the ceiling and wall is very calming and relaxing experience. I definitely recommend them! :^). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Laserpod is fantastic!! If you are using these comments to make a decision, take it from me: BUY IT, you will not regret it. The light show produced with the diffuser off is amazing. A great investment, thank you
P. S My Nabaztag is great too
P. P. S So is my Thinking Putty. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Amzing at parties with tones of smoke, every1 loves it! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
My girlfriend bought me the Laserpod Galaxy for Christmas, and without doubt it has to be one of the greatest things I've seen in my life. It's been on everynight since, projecting a fascinating, ever changing arora borealis onto my ceeling. I cannot reccomend this enough! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The effects are stunning, but could do with a green light and much more power as the laser is drowned out by ambient lighting. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
