LK-PD2 Laser Projector Review (picture heavy)

[slyoung1987]

Hey everyone

I got this amazing laser projector from hakzaw1's group-buy, I'm so glad I joined the GB and I couldn't be happier with this projector and I also cant thank hakzaw1 aka Len enough for steering me in the right direction and giving me lots of help and advice, he really is a pleasure to business with and to talk with. I will definitely work with him again on any future buys and will also highly recommend Len and these projectors to anyone.
I would also like to say thank you to Miss Linna at LaserKing for this brilliant product and making it very easy for me to pay and receive this laser.

I'd like add that I have previously owned a laser projector that I bought from ebay, its a RGB SHinp 560mW, which I was very pleased with but left me wanting more and after a little while I started to notice it wasn't all that great! it was meant to do 7 colures but only managed 4 to 5-ish and the blue was always very dominant!
So now I have this LK-PD2, I am fully happy as this projector does do 7 colours and these 7 colours look amazing! Everything is very clear and very well balanced in my opinion.

And then we have the mind blowing 5 different effects modes! WOW!!! :drool:
I previously had seen projectors with these and not been that impressed or to fussed, maybe it was because I was to focused on beam shows that I had seen...
So at first I wasn't to bothered that this new projector had a built in effects wheel, I thought I might use it now and then but as soon as I started to read about what people had to say about this projector and how amazing the effects are and how they could just lay there for hours watching it in auto mode and still see new pleasing things, I started to look into it and found a few videos... I was also taken in by how nice this looked and also thinking how much more amazing this must look in person!

Now that I have one I can confirm THIS LASER PROJECTOR WILL HAVE YOU LAYING THERE FOR HOURS!!! WATCHING ALL ITS BEAUTIFUL AND MESMERIZING COLOURS AND PATTERNS!

I'm going to let the photos and videos do most of the talking now!


Here's some photos of the box it came in and the unit itself

Here you can see a small dent... its not bad and is easily fixable and has not affected the projector

This adjustable bracket feels very good and sturdy, and locks off good!

Here's some shots of it in action... The camera on my phone isn't that grate but, it managed to pick up a few nice ones. This projector really does look so much better in person!!!

WOW-a-WooWa! LOOK AT THAT SWEET 638nm Red!

Here's a video of the laser going through some of its effects

Here's a video of the laser with a bit of smoke added showing off its beams

What was the GB cost for the LK-PD2? Looks spectacular all on its own without external ILDA and show software!

 

[hakzaw1]

WOW your review skillz are great- if we could have gotten this PJ to you sooner those pics may have help us to order more of these- its been far and away the best seller and out of~38 LK PD2s (in three GBs)we only had a big issue with just one- a second PD2 has a minor issue but the buyer was fixed up VERY quick with a replacement thats perfect=

This GB may be the last or NOT-
today is the last chance to make payment PP as goods and adding 4%
until Monday you MAY get in but must PM NOW!! then send payment direct to China like Simon did- ypu will have a fee to pay western union or your bank,

I also have two 'new' LK PD2s here with me-
One is FS- testing time only- i need $ 550 for it plus actual cost to ship to you from Texas-
The other COULD become yours-- I am selling 13 'tickets' at 50$ each & a max of two per member= I did one before and jamescranmer was the winner- he will do the random.com drawing for this one- he is a VERY well trusted VET.

2nd and 3rd drawn get free basic haklumia kits sent wih free shipping if you are CONUS
the BIG winner pays shipping- at cost - for CONUS that is around 25$usd-
Two tickets ae gone 9 remain ATM- the 13th (last) number drawn gets their 50$ back by check.

in comparison with lotto or scratch-offs the odds are great to win something= get one number 4 : 13 chances of getting drawn buy 2 and your odds are doubled.
whatever you do please NEVER use the word 'ra44le' at the forums EVER or especailly at POOP Pal-- they have filters in place looking for the "R" word- its considered by them to be illegal gambling and using that word can get PP accts frozen.

I hope to sell the rest soon and get this perfectly running PJ in time for your holidays

if you want the 'bundle' deal I can ship you for $10 one FB3 QS $600 lasershow software- for $498.


BTW Linna amd Laserking have a much different approach to this biz- they see much value in after the sale support- they as you can see use NO white hotglue inside and the warranty is unique- nobody pays for return shipping- you work directly with Linna and her LK techs and do your own repairs win win win- no waiting- no shipping and the parts are express shipped to the owner- so you learn by hands on repair-

I will be doing this on one after the holidays- I plan to share each step with the forums w/ pics and details about the repair- other seller would havee you sj=hip to then $80 then want you to pay another $80 for returning to you AND you will be w/o that PJ for weeks or longer... not so with LK-

PM to jump on this wagon before its too late
PM to get a chance to win a LK PD2
PM to pay me NOW and your LK PD2 wil ship the next day- just ONE left here. #$550 plus ship- full warranty- add QS total (before ship)_$1048- SEVEN colors and the easiest and best Soft QS by Pangolin- I can get you LSX for those more advance ot is priced about the same

There is still time for you to change your choice and send te additional paymenyt 515 less 248- would need pooppal- as goods w/ additional 4% PP fee.

BIG PC laptops just a few years old are very cheap now- most want tiny tablets of phone internet.
you can pick one up good for QS around $100

w/ QS you can run six LK PD2 projectors at the same time.




I have one here in hand only test time on it= works perfect.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments, I'm glad you liked it and I'm also glad to see this has helped people out making up their mind on buying one of these excellent projectors

 

[brucemir]

Great review! Like Wendy, I just changed my order from Hak from the 3D to the PD2!
I especially like your poster of the Pink Floyd album covers on the ladies backs in your photos! I know that poster well and noticed it right away!

 

[wendylou]

Thank YOU! Those pics are awesome! It was also helpful that you listed the various Auto shows. That's when I knew I could enjoy this until I get into laser show software.

 

[Coherent Thought]

I told myself DO NOT READ THAT REVIEW!! YOU WILL BE SORRY!
I really need to listen better.....

Guess I know what I'll be saving up for.
But while I'm saving, I'll be having fun with the LK 3D.

Great review and awesome pics and vids. Recognized the PF Back Catalogue poster too!
I own a MIM Strat that looks just like Wendy's, but I dropped EMG DG20 pickups in it so I can wail on Shine On You Crazy Diamond.

 

[hakzaw1]

An opening has popped up for anyone that can cover the cost NOW-
I had hoped that Western Union was for real saying that form Debit card to bank is FRE_ the old bait and switch I fear as when I looked it was BS- they wnats a $131 fee just to send the n=max of $2,999 to for our complete order it would have been twice that- so back to square one and a single bank transfer in the morning-

We are short on more taker for the LK PD2 just like the one used for this review- I would need $515 plus a tad extra total between $530 and $540 & LaserKing may allow you to Ppal to thier asccount-That is where the 'tad extra' comes from- its not going to me.
ALSO I was told that in 2014 the prices are gong to change some all projectors will go up in price from 5% to 10%- so the LK PD2 would be ~ $566.50 instead of $515.

First to PM that is ready to paypal gets it BUT must PM me now.

So one thing I wonder about these laser projectors, can you watch the "show" without the use of safety glasses? To me i just don't know how you'd be able to since its like 600mW of combined power.

Sure you can. It's all about irradiance or power per area squared. The power effectively drops as the beam is scanned, and drops again as viewed from a diffuse surface (irradiance decreases proportionally to the square of the distance from the projection surface). I believe there are interlocks to prevent full power unscanned beam emissions. I wouldn't advise staring into the beams.

 

[Livinloud]

Dang, now i have to start saving again :cryyy:

 

[Tmack]

Definitely worth the money. Once you see what they can do you will wonder why you just paid so much for a handheld lol. ( not that it will stop you from building another ).............or 10 lol

 

[Livinloud]

Tmack, the one you are selling. Will it display similar to this one?
