GREAT NEWS! Today its official, for the release of the new Blue Blisslight. This is been a project we have been working on for some time now. Before when we were creating Blue units they were quite pricey. They also had to be completely customized. We had to equip the units with multiple fans to keep them from overheating. Each unit had to have 2 power supplies, the optics were only lasting approx 3000 hours, plus they were quite noisy to run. But now, with a lot of hard work on behalf of Blisslights we have developed a unit that has been created to perform without any special modification, plus have a 20,000 hour life span on the laser. And best of all, they are very affordable. Please contact a local dealer or Blisslights directly to get your very own blue unit.
Thanks for reading, and enjoy! DJ Pat

Blislight Vendor Spotlight
We are trying something NEW here at Blisslights. Over the past few years, we have connected with a lot of great people. Club owners, theme park designers and mobile entertainers alike have some things in common. They have a passion for entertaining, a desire to stand out from the croud and a love for the Blisslight. Even though we do a lot of diffrent kind of laser design, our flagship product and our name is for the wonderful projector that has revolutionised the laser community.
So we thought we would take time to ecknowlage some of the awesome people that believe in our product just as much as we do. Our first spotlight is on Joe Staniszewski, and his company JBS Entertainment. When I look at his pictures I can obviously see he has set a pretty high bar. Its more than just entertainment value, its also atmosphere. With Joes use of LED uplighting, gobo projectors and Blissdlights, he has certainly put him to the forfront of prefessional entertainers. Please take a moment and read some information Joe has provided, along with how he uses is Blisslight product.
JBS Entertainment has been entertaining guests at weddings and private events since 1996. Based in the Philadelphia suburbs, the owner & Entertainment Director Joe Staniszewski works with his wife, Heather, a certified & registered bridal consultant to bring a “Return to Elegance” to every event they perform at. While clients are requesting our mobile disc jockey services, the current addition of theatrical lighting effects adds more production value to any event. These effects include uplighting, dance floor washes, intelligent lighting, and the addition of the BlissLights laser star field effect.
It was in the summer of 2007, when Joe & Heather were attending the DJ Times Expo in Atlantic City, when they first learned of the star field laser effect. At first glance, there was an immediate WOW factor that neither of them had ever seen before with a laser. Atmospheric factors such as fog or haze weren’t needed & the result was incredible. During the following months, the idea of purchasing a unit was discussed, but it was now a question of “Where to buy one?” since the initial vendor was now unavailable. Just before their New Years Eve event, a single BlissLights Bliss 15 was ordered from our trusted friends Ben & Kat at NLFX Professional. The unit was used to transform an indoor ice skating rink at a private residence into a star-filled universe. The effect was well received to say the least.
Since making that initial investment, JBS Entertainment has purchased an additional two Bliss 15 units, bringing their total inventory to three pieces. As events were booked, and positive feedback was heard from satisfied clients, the idea of adding this to our light show was now shifted into the “must have” category when it was demonstrated to clients at initial bookings - this being done with the help of a BlissLights Laser Wand.
Incorporating this effect into our bridal show booth for the 2010 wedding season has brought potential brides & guests asking “How can I have that at my wedding?” At a recent event, a guest even went so far as to approach us, asking if he could purchase one of our Bliss 15s for his high school’s planetarium at the conclusion of the event! We were happy to see that this effect was so well received by clients, guests, and even the venue staff.
While one Bliss 15 may suffice for your event, we bring at least two. With the third piece, we have more options and flexibility. It can be used for a larger room, or to transform an additional area, away from the dance floor.
JBS Entertainment sees this lighting effect as a certain way to infuse additional elegance, with a more theatrical style of lighting vs. the traditional mirror ball or strobe light. We will certainly recommend the BlissLights line of laser and lighting effects to anyone who asks us about them & look forward to seeing the new products that they are developing.

Custom Bliss
Finding your custom Bliss is what this blog is all about. Now you may be asking "what is a custom Bliss"? Well its quite simple. Blisslights as a company does make some very cool lighting effects. We have also revolutionized the way people see lasers and have a new found appreciation for the very unique art form. Once our clients start using Blisslights they start thinking about different ways to present the effects. We get lots of questions like, "can the laser be a another color"? Or "can you change the color of cloud"?
Well I would like to say ANYTHING is possible and it totally is. We can create a custom laser product for any application. Some designs might cost more than others. It all depends on exactly what your looking to do. And if your thinking about it, then please give us a call. Blisslights would be more than happy to work with you to create your own "custom Bliss". We in house create all our products so we stand by the "Made In The US" motto.
As always, thanks for Reading!

Another happy customer to talk about. Blisslights not only being used by theme parks, professional DJ's but even world reknowd entertainers. I had recently had the oprotinity to be aquainted with one such individual. Alex DePue is one of the top volinists in the world. He is also a fan of Blisslights. "The Fiddler" (as he calls himself) has performed with our product a couple times now and we are thrilled. Alex and I have had conversations and he has said nothing but positive things about the product. That totally brings a smile to my face when a person of his calibur gives us a complimint. Its all worth it! :) If you have the chance, I highly recomend watching this guys stuff on Youtobe. He is AMAZING!
And, now a little more about Alex DePue.
Alex DePue began taking classical violin lessons at age five. He won his first major competition at age 10, and later (age 16) won a competition that entitled him to perform at Carnegie Hall with the National Guild Youth Orchestra under the direction of Joseph Silverstein. He has continued to win competitions and appear as a guest soloist with orchestras and at festivals worldwide. Despite his classical training, Alex became interested in fiddling at age seven, and began competing in old-time fiddle contests at the age of 12. He reigned as the Michigan State Fiddling Champion from 1994-1998; won the first-place trophy at the Walnut Valley National Fiddling Championship in Winfield, Kansas in 1999 and 2005; won first place in the Halletsville, TX “Gone to Texas National Fiddling Championship” in 2000; won first place in the Alabama state fiddle contest in 2006 and 2007; and won first place in the California state fiddle contest in 2007. He has been ranked among the top 10 fiddlers in the nation at the Grand Masters Fiddling Championship (Nashville, TN).
In 2005, Alex placed fourth at the GMFC. Alex served as a judge at the National Oldtime Fiddling Championship (Weiser, ID) in 2008. Alex toured with Capitol Recording artist Chris Cagle from 2000-2006, with whom he regularly appeared on the Grand Ole Opry, Country Music Television, Great American Country, and VH1 Country. Alex joined legendary rock guitarist Steve Vai for a 2007 world tour that took him across North America, South America, and Europe. Alex’s YouTube (www.youtube.com) videos are from all parts of the globe, and his 1 YouTube hit, 'Owner of a Lonely Heart' (originally recorded by the 80's rock band, Yes) has been viewed worldwide over a million times.
Alex recently teamed up with Mexican guitarist Miguel De Hoyos. Their unique international sound has been praised by elected Mexico officials in B.C. South, MX and their spectacular musical performances are being extolled by popular English-written Mexican publications such as the Gringo Gazette and the Baja Times. Alex and Miguel recently released their first recording 'Underground Whispers in A'. In addition to performing, Alex is a published composer and arranger of music. Alex has a self-produced CD available which features pieces he arranged and/or composed. In addition to his own CD, he has produced recordings for other singers and instruments, and records sessions in his off time from tours. With his brothers,
Alex played on the soundtrack for the Philadelphia Orchestra documentary, “Music from the Inside Out”. Alex also composed one of the pieces recorded for the documentary. With a background in both classical violin and fiddling, and an ability to play not only the violin but also the viola, mandolin, guitar, double bass, percussion, and piano, Alex is an artist that can produce any style of music.

The Happiest Place On Earth
Pixie Hollow is only a small part of the Magic Kingdom but certainly a special one. Blisslights had been working with Imagineering
on different projects over the years but I have to admit this was a special one. For all of you that don't know. Pixie Hollow is where Tink and all the pixies live. Its a great photo opportunity for parents and children in the day. But at night the garden is magically transformed to create a fantastic night time attraction. The units that were used in this particular application were not custom units, like some of the other things that we have designed for them. They use our very popular LS 20G units to help illuminate and keep guests in awe as they walk through.
If your in the anaheim area or plan to visit Disneyland, please stop by and check out our product at work. Also, if you have any questions about how you can turn your backyard landscape into your own magical place, please email or call anytime.
Thanks for reading! Regards, DJ Pat

New Products Are Coming
Its a very exciting time for all of us here at Blisslights. Not only have we been creating brand new products but we have also been redesigning some of our classic effects. One of witch is our Blisslights portable. We have just finished editing the video for youtube so it will be up shortly. We are also producing a cool video on our LS and LSA units. Alan and I were at his home a few weeks ago and shot some great footage for this purpose. We should have this video available in the next week or two at most. We really hope the stuff we have been shooting has been helpful to all that have watched. Please let us know how were doing, and if there is any demo requests you would like to see please let us know. We love positive feedback and were always here to listen to our valued Blisslights clients. As always, thanks for reading and stay tuned to more things to come.
Warmest Regards, DJ Pat

This last weekend was sure a busy one. I went up to Los Angeles for two days of performance with our wonderful full color laser system. On Friday (day 1) I was at the largest underground art facility in LA called "Abundant Sugar". They offer everything from Classes, lectures, performance, art instruction and so on. On this night a private show was happening in where I witnessed some amazing performance. Everything from spoken word, fire hooping, trap ease , and lecture to poetry and dance party. Plus some of the best mushroom jazz I have ever heard by DJ Leif from San Diego. And in the middle of all this, I am amazing everyone with a laser show that not too many people have seen (so far). Using our volumetric audience scanning system, I was really wowing the crowd.
Day number 2 I was performing at the Taglyan Complex. It’s a fabulous Armenian church located in Hollywood on Vine street. I was asked to provide a laser show for "Anusara Yoga". Anusara is a school of hatha yoga, which unifies a life-affirming Shiva-Shakti Tantric philosophy of intrinsic goodness with Universal Principles of Alignment. 200 of the top yoga instructors in the world came together for the teachings of Anusars founder and world renown Yoga instructor John Friend. Part of what they used Taglyan for their workshop is because of the religious background and spiritual value of this location. Second, because it has some of the most breathtaking architectural design in the entire world. The ceiling alone is a 5,000 square-foot, circular stained glass ceiling. The largest of its kind in North America. In addition, to this wonderful piece of art decor, its also powered by a state of the art LED lighting system. While John was working with his students, I was using the laser to create waves over the heads off all who were in attendance. As john was talking about what each color represented to the body, I was creating that same color. Not only was it a spiritual event for all who attended, but it also created a wonderful sense of relaxation for the people watching. The consensus that I received after, was very positive. People were amazed at how vibrant the colors were during the class. Plus how the lasers smooth motion just added to the experience overall.
On my way home to San Diego I felt happy. Happy, for being involved in two fantastic events that had a whole lot of love rapped up in it, plus the spectacular venues that I have seen. I am also proud of what this laser system can produce. Its easy to say that it impacts me because I work with lasers. But its really satisfying to have people truly appreciate it and thank you so much for doing what you have just done for them.
Thanks as always for reading. DJ Pat

After two long days at CMAA (Golf convention in San Diego) I spent all day ( Friday the 12th) designing a new lighting treatment at the stone brewery. To take you back a little on this one. Blisslights had done a lighting treatment for the make a wish foundation a few months previous. It was from this we were approached by Greg Koch Co founder and owned of Stone Brewing company here in San Diego. They were having a holiday party for his 400 plus crew at there brand new multi million dollar bistro and brew house in Escondido. He wanted to have us come in and design lighting for his party. We thought it would be fun so we agreed (pictures can be seen on the Blisslights webpage). We used our BL 50's in the bistro and brew house. We also used our LSA units to create some wonderful architectural landscape lighting in there garden area as well. I must say that it really looked spectacular and the response to our product was overwhelming. This was a one night set up for us. So we took the lighting down at the end of the night.
Approx one week later I received an email from the GM of the brewery, asking what it would cost to have the lighting back on a more permanent basis. They also wanted something special for Valentines day as well. Once a quote had been generated, and approved we were off and running. For the Valentines day weekend, we designed a special version of our BL 15 with a red laser and white cloud. After the weekend we will be installing BL 50's in the resteraunt prenatally. They also purchased our LSA20G's for the garden area as well. At this point stage one is complete. Stage two will happen one week from now when I do the permanent install of our product. I will be Blogging more as the project gets underway. We are very excited about the project and we think its going to be a hit with the patrons as well as the employees. Please feel free to head over sometime, try an award wining beer, have a great lunch and enjoy the best laser effects on the market!
Its almost 6 am... I think I should lay down now. Nighty Night!

ITS BUSY!
Hey Everyone, DJ Pat here. Its been a busy and exciting week here at Blisslights. Randy, Erica, and the rest of the crew are at Mobile Beat Las Vegas introducing a new Volumetric Audience Scanning System to the world! Its truly amazing and you have to just see it to believe it. I will keep everyone posted on the progress of this system. On another note, Alan and I are keeping busy at Golf Industry Show at the San Diego Convection center Feb 10th and 11th. Its basically all the big golf resorts from all over the US, looking for new and interesting ways to either, build, advertise or enhance there respective club. Everything from, product in the pro shop to gold carts, to board room design to food products, to you name it. And Blisslights is right in the middle. Yesterday we talked with people from, Ohio, Louisiana, Texas, Connecticut, Florida, San Francisco, Arizona, Michigan, and... I lost count after that. And that’s all in one day. I don't think I stopped talking for more than 5 minutes. Well, today should be no different. I have yet to find out how progress was in Vegas but I will soon find out. This Friday I will also be starting a permanent lighting treatment and design for the Stone Brewery corporate office, brew house and bistro in Escondido CA. Looks to be a fun time. I will keep you posted.
Cheers, DJ Pat

Hey everyone it's DJ Pat! Today's weather is perfect outside, me and my girlfriend Danielle decided to head up to Disney for the day. For all of you who didn't know Disney's Pixie's Hollow features the astonishing BlissLights in the fountain. The lighting has turned it into such a magical place. If you are ever at the park make sure you stop by afterdark to experience the lighting for yourself.
Cheers, DJ Pat

A New Old One...
I went to up to the corporate office today for a meeting. Its always a great time when I go because I know that once business has been discussed it on to Randy's office to show me new toys. Randy Johnson not only our laser designer, but the creator of our spectacular Blisslight product. He really does some amazing things with lasers and I always have a front row seat for his new creations. So after my meeting, I strolled into his office to see what he is working on next. He actually had nothing new to show today. But he did have a projector he designed years ago that was at Alan's house (Alan is the president of the company). He fired up the marching and I was in aw. The first thing I said was "we need to start to market this one!". I hope he took it to heart, because it was way cool. The only way I can describe it, is like our nebula cloud. I am going to push for production on this one no doubt.
Thanks for reading!
