1. LASERTRON LT-12 vs. Zone NexusFEC

2. Dear Future Client,
Thank you for your interest in LASERTRON’s new LT-12 Laser Tag Game System and Custom
Arenas. We look forward to assisting you with your project.
LASERTRON has been a leading manufacturer in the laser tag industry for over 23 years. We
are also successful operators of a 4-acre indoor/outdoor entertainment center with 21,000 sq.
ft. indoors. Within our center we have a 9,200 sq.ft. multi-level LASERTRON arena, 2 Cyber
Sport courts, arcade, billiards, full service bar, party rooms, snack bar and catering services.
Our outdoor attractions include a large go-kart track with 40 electric go-karts designed and
built by LASERTRON, 27-holes of miniature golf and a large patio with high-end outdoor
seating. Click here to visit our entertainment center’s website.
We use our center as our testing facility for all of our attractions (laser tag equipment and
arenas, Cyber Sport, as well as our custom go-karts). We are the only laser tag company that
can offer you a complete turn-key laser tag solution.
LASERTRON can provide you with the best, most reliable and durable laser tag system along
with the coolest custom arenas that are easy to maintain and look great for 10+ years.
LASERTRON recommends that while you are researching your choices in laser tag providers,
you should visit locations, play with the various equipment, observe how durable the arenas
are, learn how the equipment and various game formats play within the arena layout and most
importantly talk to operators that are successful.

5. EQUIPMENT
Batteries LASERTRON LT-12 Zone NexusFEC
Battery Life 25+ Hours (LASERTRON’s faster paced ?
Base Game)
Battery Life (Shields Games) 30+ Hours (Shields Game) 24 Hours (Shields Game)
Battery Charge Time (To Full) 8 Hours (higher-capacity battery) 6 Hours (lower-capacity battery)
Quick-Release Charging Harness Yes ? (hard wired)
NOTE: LASERTRON offers a faster-paced game which is more interactive and allows players to be
active for more minutes per game than a shields game. LASERTRON and Zone NexusFEC both offer
shields game formats which utilize less battery power. In the past, LASERTRON only published the
battery life based on our most active game formats. We now publish both our low-and high- battery
consumption numbers.
NOTE: LASERTRON guarantees longer battery life. We are the only laser tag company that guarantees
our batteries will last for 16 hours of continuous play for 3 years or we'll replace them for free. When
new, our batteries last for 25+ hours even when utilized in our faster paced team base station games.
No other laser tag system's battery can last as long as our battery under the same operating
conditions.
NOTE: LASERTRON’s quick-charging system will recharge a vest to 10 hours of playing capacity in
only 2 hours (a full charge takes approximately 8 hours). The LASERTRON system does not require
you to remove the batteries in order to recharge them. LASERTRON quick-release harness eliminates
the possibility of shorting out the recharge harnesses. Quick-Release charging harnesses significantly
lower long-term maintenance issues.

25. ARENA CONSTRUCTION
LASERTRON Arenas
LASERTRON believes the arena is an integral part of the overall laser tag experience. LASERTRON will
work with you to design and build a complete single-level or multi-level laser tag arena.
LASERTRON Arenas are easy to maintain and clean. LASERTRON’s cool, high-tech arenas look new
long after plywood-painted arenas look faded and old.
LASERTRON's LT-12 Game System and Arena are designed to synergistically work together. Arena
obstacles are designed to maximize the number of places a player can use for cover as well as
reducing the number of potential collisions that are possible between players. LASERTRON’s molded
arena components are virtually indestructible, cannot be damaged by laser tag players and are
functional for 20+ years. LASERTRON arenas are re-configurable over time. Each arena component is
compatible with our current portfolio of parts as well as future components.
NOTE: LASERTRON offers several self-install arena options at a significantly lower investment. The
LASERTRON arena obstacles can be taken apart easily and are re-configurable.
Zone NexusFEC Arenas
NOTE: Zone NexusFEC does not design or build the majority of their arenas. You often have to work
with a separate company and crew which means you must be sure both companies are
communicating and focusing on how to develop the best and most profitable arenas.
