beamZ Pro LKS - Emergency Stop Switch for Laser
The beamZ Pro LKS is an emergency kill switch, also known as a "kill switch," designed as an essential safety component for any professional laser lighting system. Its primary function is to provide an immediate and reliable method for cutting off laser emission, protecting both the public and operators from accidental exposures that could cause temporary glare or, in severe cases, permanent eye damage. With just the push of its distinctive red button, power to the laser emission circuit is instantly interrupted, ensuring a safer environment during shows, events, or in permanent installations.
Built with high-quality materials, this robust device is designed for heavy-duty use in demanding environments such as nightclubs, concerts, theaters, and mobile productions. Its compact design and light weight allow for easy installation on any control desk, rack, or operator station without taking up valuable space. Its ease of operation is key in panic situations where quick and decisive action is crucial. The beamZ Pro LKS connects directly to the interlock or remote shutdown input of compatible laser projectors.
