i see that your from the KC area.
first off, let me welcome you to the ADJ forum!
now lets think about these two intelligent lights...
DJ Scan 250 � 7 colors plus white
� 10 Gobos plus spot
� Separate Color & Gobo Wheels
� DMX-512 protocol
� X/Y mirror movement
� 4 DMX channels
� Weight: 12 lbs. / 5 kgs.
� Lamp: ZB-ELC 24V, 250W
Now with the Scantron you get this:
Scantrons � 2-in-1 intelligent lighting effect that converts from a scanner to a color changer with gobos.
� 14 gobos plus spot
� 11 colors plus white
� Extruded aluminum case design
� 5-channel DMX protocol
� Linkable via XLR connections
� Smooth stepper motors
� Dual hanging brackets
� Manual full-focusing lens
� ZB-ELC 24V, 250W
� Weight: 23 lbs
above are the basics to the light. I find the scantrons a great intelligent light rather than the DJ Scan250. even though the scanstrons weigh a lot more and cost a lot more its worth it. in attition the DJ scan is US $279.95, while the scantron it US $419.95. And if your in the KC area and go to song & samples they usually give you a great price.
