The Laserworld CUBE 1.5 RGB is a compact, multi-colour laser system engineered for high portability. Unlike traditional stage lasers that require constant mains connection, the CUBE 1.5 utilizes an integrated rechargeable battery. This design choice targets mobile performers and event organisers who require rapid setup in locations where cabling may be impractical. The unit combines red, green, and blue (RGB) laser sources to provide a full spectrum of colour for atmospheric effects and simple graphics.
Control and Connectivity
A primary feature of the CUBE 1.5 is its wireless control capability. Through a dedicated mobile application, users can adjust patterns, colours, and movements directly from a smartphone or tablet. For users requiring more traditional integration, the unit includes:
- DMX Connectivity: Allows for control via standard lighting consoles alongside fixtures like the Equinox Fusion 120Q or Chauvet DJ Sentinel Wash Q7Z.
- ILDA Interface: Enables connection to computer-based laser software for custom shows.
- Standalone Modes: Includes automatic and sound-to-light modes for immediate operation without external programming.
Performance and Output
With a total output power of 1500 mW, the CUBE 1.5 is capable of producing sharp beams and tunnels. The system is equipped with fast scanners, which facilitate the projection of simple graphics and fluid movement. While the beams are visible in dark environments, the use of haze or fog significantly enhances the visibility of the laser's atmospheric effects. The RGB mixing allows for a broad palette of hues beyond the standard primary colours.
Target Audience and Applications
The device is specifically suited for mobile DJs and performers who prioritize speed of assembly and flexibility. Because it lacks the requirement for immediate mains access, it can be placed in unconventional locations during indoor events or small club nights. It is also an appropriate entry point for users who want professional-grade laser output without the immediate need for complex ILDA programming hardware, thanks to the simplified app-based interface.
Comparison to Alternatives
When compared to other portable lighting such as the Stagg Headbanger XT or Eurolite TMH-41, the CUBE 1.5 offers a distinct laser-specific effect rather than a traditional LED wash or spot. For users building a larger wireless rig, the CUBE 1.5 complements tools like the Chauvet DJ FlareCON Air 2, though its internal battery and native app control provide a more self-contained solution for laser effects compared to standard wired fixtures like the Cameo ROOT PAR 4 or Equinox Spectra Strobe Batten.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the total power output of the Laserworld CUBE 1.5?
- The system features a total output power of 1500 mW. This power is distributed across the red, green, and blue laser diodes to create a full RGB spectrum.
- Can the CUBE 1.5 operate without being plugged into a wall?
- Yes, it features a built-in rechargeable battery designed for portable use. This allows for faster setup and more flexible placement in venues where power outlets are not easily accessible.
- How can I control the laser effects on this unit?
- Control can be managed via a dedicated mobile app on a phone or tablet. Additionally, it supports DMX for lighting consoles, ILDA for computer software, and has automatic and sound-to-light modes.
- What kind of effects can the CUBE 1.5 produce?
- The unit is capable of producing clear beams, tunnel effects, and simple graphics. These are generated using fast scanners to ensure the patterns remain visible and fluid.
- Is the CUBE 1.5 suitable for outdoor use?
- The manufacturer specifies it is suited for indoor events and clubs. While battery power makes it portable, it is not explicitly rated for wet or extreme outdoor environments.
- Does the system support professional laser software?
- Yes, it includes an ILDA connection. This allows users to integrate the CUBE 1.5 into professional computer-controlled laser setups for more complex custom shows.
- Can I integrate this laser into a DMX lighting rig?
- Yes, the CUBE 1.5 features DMX connections. This allows it to be synced with other lighting fixtures like moving heads or strobe battens through a standard DMX controller.
- Do I need extra hardware to use the app control?
- No, the app control is designed to work directly from your mobile device. You can adjust colours, movement, and patterns without needing additional control hardware.
- What colours is the laser capable of producing?
- As an RGB system, it can produce red, green, and blue beams. By mixing these colours, the system can generate a wide variety of secondary colours and hues.
- Is a haze machine necessary for this laser?
- While the 1500 mW output is bright, using haze or fog is highly recommended. Haze makes the laser beams and tunnels visible in the air, creating the intended atmospheric effect.
- How does the 'sound to light' mode work?
- In sound-to-light mode, the laser uses an internal microphone to detect music beats. It then automatically triggers pattern changes and movements in sync with the rhythm.
- Who is the primary target user for the Laserworld CUBE 1.5?
- It is primarily designed for mobile DJs and event organizers. Its battery-powered nature and app-based control make it ideal for performers who need professional effects with minimal setup time.
