Why are they so f-ing big? Seriously, do they need to be that big?

Yes. And to be authentic they should be on a spigot on a frotty. Real men could lift them on on their own, which is why most of us have fucked backs now.  Smile

If you think GoldenScans are a PITA Sam, try flinging around some of our Cyberlight SV's!

Proper bastard lol

we used to have meat racks, each holding 8 flightcased superscan zooms ( 18" longer and 15Kg heavier than golden scan 4's).....roughly 1 ton a go...

then, the meat racks each holding 6 long throw 2K super troopers, with reactive ( 3 man lift) ballasts and stands, even heavier.

great lamps though

Sold all my GS3's I sware if you look at them hard enough they will break! Looking back on it I have spent probably DAYS repairing Golden Scans on site. Still I look at them and get that warm fuzzy feeling. Always putting them on my ebay watch list.


@ Dylan CyberLights are the ones to go for :) they are smaller but pretty much the same weight too. Also a lot stronger still getting close to the 20yr mark.

All my GS's were in twin flightcases for some daft reason bloody nightmare to stack away.

I am sure a Cyberlight is only about 3kg heavier just smaller so it feels heavier.
