Simpy a 500watt  5" Halogen tube, with a series of lenses in front of it, so that the fixture put out a simple fan of light, that spread at least 45 deg horizontally, and just a few degrees vertically. The results were VERY much much like a laser fanned-plane effect, without any of the laser exposure issues.  I regret now that I gave them away.

When we wanted to use it for a theatrical production, we simply unplugged the motor so the beams would stay still. We could even dim the fixture by just plugging into a dimmer channel.
