laser effects

Projected light displays

Laser effects are the visual displays created by laser beams in entertainment settings—concerts, nightclubs, theatrical productions, and light shows.

The beams cut through darkness or fog to create geometric patterns, sweeping movements, and vivid colors: The laser effects at the concert were spectacular.

The term covers both the technology and the resulting spectacle.
