Installation
There’s no need for an installation guide when purchasing BEAM - we will handle installation for you.
All our devices can be installed to various ceilings with ease - concrete, metal, or even drop-ceilings.
Our devices also have a dedicated, standard pole mount - perfect for open ceiling installations.
Of course! Our devices can be used in rooms as small as 10x10 feet (3x3 meters). Both can also be discreetly installed in a drop-ceiling.
Our devices can project on any light-colored surface - floors, walls or tabletops. The projection can also take on the rectangular or circular shape and dimensions of tabletops automatically, so it will fit perfectly.
For optimal results, a white, non-reflective surface is recommended.
The projection’s size can be adjusted through the device. The maximum projection size is dependent on the position of the device relative to the projection surface.
For example, BEAM’s maximum recommended distance from surface to device is 4.2 meters, which will allow for a projection size anywhere between 94.5 by 59 inches (2.4 by 1.5 meter) to 154 by 96 inches (3.9 by 2.4 meters).
Visit here for detailed table to find the optimal projection size.
If you’re purchasing BEAM, there’s no need for anything other than a place to install the device, an internet connection and available power supply. We will be handling the installation, including any tools required.
Maintenance
Our devices were designed to be extremely dependable and hassle-free. They self-update and even can shut down by themselves, requiring virtually no maintenance on a day-to-day basis.
The only required maintenance is to replace the bulb when it expires and clean the filters when doing so.
BEAM’s laser projector is extremely durable and lasts for about 20,000 play hours.
