Nothing. The lenses and fog are used with the red and green mounted laser set. The non-stationary laser and flashlight are just used to demonstrate the differences between white light from a lightbulb and laserlight - i.e. unlike regular lightbulb light, laser light is focused and monochromatic (made up of only one color - in our case, red).
