That does indeed help a lot! Thank you š
5,000⬠is well out of my price range. Iāve got the Chauvet 305 scans at the moment so it was something better than them that I was looking for. Brighter, motorised focus and easily inter-changeable gobos essentially. Have you seen the Martin in action? The LED is 50% more powerful, but I donāt know how that relates to light on the dance floor, especially when the rest of the optics is taken into consideration. The Eurolite looks like great value too.

Hey
Ive seen the Silver Scan in use at Plasa, great effect but the price tag will be serious to. According to this link could be RRP price its 5000 euros: https://ees.es/catalogo/robe-lighting/silverscan/ Have used many scanners, you might want to consider following: Eurolite LED TSL 1200 (120w) £400 - £500 Martin Rush Scanner 1 (90w) £880 - £1000 Showtec Shark Scan One (100w) £325 - £400 Chauvet 305 Scans/Barrels (60w) £400 Ive used the TSL 1200 and its impressive to say the least!!! Hope this helps. |

For all those people running Miniscans you can more than half the power consumption by applying power factor correction. A 35 microfarad pf capacitor placed between the L and N inlets will do this. Back in the days where i had dozens of miniscans we made up a load of suitable boxes to do this and it made powering the rigs significantly easier.
Ive got no idea why clay Paky never did this themselves, i guess it would have made the case slightly larger but only slightly.

āThe fact is this is about identifying what we do best and finding more ways of doing less of it betterā

Indeed they are. I keep on looking and they will ship them too me as well
Brill
I want the 300w discharge in there and, if I got some, would run decent power to them, but I am not technically minded at all so would need someone to be my "lighting guy/lady" that I could pass them to when they break. I did a gig recently where I had my Chauvet scanners up and the AV crew put in a 250w discharge Robe moving head. The Robe was brighter, but not by a massive amount, but some of the colours were significantly better on the Robe. I like scanners, I just want better ones. Whether or not the MiniScans on ebay are them, I don't know. |

That must be the white ones, which have been for sale for getting on 2 years I think!
Yes - the hanging bracket is totally removable, so there isnt anything to stop you moving it back to front. I still need to finish the LED conversion on mine, as they are power hungry little beasts. The Blue Room has an interesting thread on the conversion. The nights I run are 'retro' so having original era correct lighting is a bonus

Just as a thought, does anybody know if I can swap around the hanging bracket on a MiniScan so itās on the mirror side of the unit, rather than the back? My lighting poles are simply poles with a M10 socket in the top so my current scanners just bolt on and stand up right

A good scan outperformes a moving head in most smaller settings is my opinion.. one people almost forgot about is the Technobeam I.. still a great workhorse and with a 200w msd source not too power hungry..
The Robe looks great on paper. Would be my weapon of choice for a retro-rave

Thereās a set of 4 Martin 918ās on eBay for £1,500 and a set of 4 miniscan HPEās for < £300.
I love my scanners (although punters are more impressed with my LED sticks). I was just born about 15 years too late so all the really good scanners are no longer made. Thatās why Iām excited by the Robe
