You could make the allusion of a large laser if you shot the beam though a gas filled tube or some other translucent material to get the beam to show. Making a double or more laser lamp would require a larger power supply. If you connected the lasers in parallel, it will drain more current. The power supply would have to be able to deliver that much current. You would also want the lasers to be identical as possible, otherwise the circuitry gets more complicated (the voltage across each laser would be the same, so if the lasers required different voltages and the ballast resistors would have to be selected appropriately).

Could u make this a large standing floor model like 4 or 5 feet high? Also, how hard would it be to make a double laster lamp with maybe two different colored lasers or maybe 3?
