E) The handheld lasers that would fit in the sculpture are not designed to=have external power... they use batteries... and the more powerful blue la=er only projects for perhaps 15 to 20 minutes before it needs to cool off.=So figuring out how to power, control, and target the lasers is worth thin=ing about. TESTING THE CONCEPT: I could lend you an assortment of lasers to test out the effect before inst=llation plans go further. Alternatively, you can go online and purchase a few of these directly... th=re are two good sources that are reliable: FOR THE BLUE LASER (and get the safety glasses, different lens kit, etc: WI=KED LASERS: http://www.wickedlasers.com/lasers/Spyder_III_Pro_Arctic_Serie=-96-37.html They have other lasers... you want at least a green 200 mw or above... Another source is (or was DEALEXTREME but I think they got in trouble selli=g lasers that exceeded the <5mw regulations.) Happy to play.
