A Sneak Peek Behind the Beam

I didn’t take these, so credit where it’s due: u/DionicioN shared them; their friend is the guy that took the pictures. Fun fact: get too close, and it easily burns body hair.

BEAM Trivia:

1) The Beam has six lasers, and uses 1,800 watts of total power. It originally only had 4, and was 1000W.

2) The ‘Official’ name of The Beam is “Laser Space Cannon”. To me, it’s just **The Beam**.

3) The Kings organization submitted an application in the summer of 2022 to the FAA seeking permission to *light the beam*. FAA being bros, of course said YES PLEASE, APPROVED.

4) There isn’t any commercial airlines that fly over Golden1, so while passengers would be able to see it in the distance, it does not affect any flights or flight paths.

5) The Beam is unofficially the brightest full-color laser equipment in the world – we actually have the top 2. When it was 1000W it became the brightest, and Vivek said “Nah dawg, more lasers” so we beat our record, and now sits at 1800W.

6) The Kings introduced their purple beam on September 16 (9/16 —> 916) but it was first lit following a win after they defeated the Miami Heat on October 29 2022.

7) Per players and coaches, Huerter is the biggest proponent of the Beam

8) During a game against the Clippers December 3rd, we made our first “LIGHT THE BEAM” Chants behind enemy lines, at the Crypto DOT COM arena. Paul George had no idea what the chant was saying, so he had to ask John Wall what the hell the crowd was chanting.

That is all for now.
