What do you think about them and do you like them?[/qb]

Yes, somebody does....No I don't. I have seen them in action, and IMHO they are one of the $ for $ best scanners on the market.

There is no duty cycle, so feel free to abuse them for hours straight.

They are a DMX "inteligent" light, so yes they can be blacked out by a DMX controller, or they can do just about anything else your little DMX'able heart desires.

Thanks, But now how do I power the light? I know that you cant plug it into a dimmer pack but what about a switch pack? Should the Light be kept on and just be put on blackout??? Any info would be great!!!!!

The best way to run them is to run power directly to them (no on/off switch), and use a DMX controller to black them out when they are not needed.

Thanks, But now when you put the light in BLACKOUT, Does the lamp shut off or does the shutter just cut the light out?????

In the ScanTron the lamp goes out.

Thats Cool!!!!! THANKS A LOT!!!!!

Does anyone know if the UC3 remote control will wrok on the Scan Trons? Cant seem to find the original remote (IRC/1)controller for these units. Any help appreciated.
