  Overall Opinion

  The Robo Scan 518 by Martin Light is great for stage lighting. I have seen this in use plenty of times throughout my music career. This stage light is used in several local clubs in my area and I must say it seems great. It has rotating gobos, and a fixed 3 facet prism and now the robo Scan 518 features 16 degree wide angle optics. It is fixed 3 faced prism frost filter combined with mechanical dimmers and shutters.
  
  
  
  But now the Robo scan 518 is discontinued and is no longer produced so good luck finding one, but if you can the price shouldn’t be too bad, but since its no longer made if it goes out on you: you might have a hard time finding parts and or bulbs to run it. Even if you call the company that makes them they might not help you fix it they will probably try to cross sell you or get you to upgrade.
  
  
  
  Overall this is a great stage light but I don’t think its worth the risk on investing in a product that is no longer produced and has had some issues in the past that’s why they have discontinued it, it does look great though and actually its very affordable which is why a lot of clubs and bars choose to go with the robo Scan 518 Martin Light. This light is made by Martin and they are a company of entertainment control and intelligent lighting and effects. Martin makes several products that uses high quality parts used in the entertainment industry, but I think they fell short when creating this one. Not too sure what happened to get it discontinued. But for the most part it’s a great light and if you can get it in working condition for cheap it’s a steal and you must get one.

  Overall Opinion

  I just received 4 PRO 518 MK2 (MSD250 - optical 16 °).
  
  I like the light, the prism, strength, openness.
  
  What I like least: the weight (14KG) can still be used although only ca.
  
  I tried the scan ELC250W Asian manufacturing (panther-barrel-tec ...) who obviously had nothing to do.
  
  The value is about me excellent.Ils are like new (new lamp they date from 2004) and fly individuals.
  
  I think not being ready to sell: what to buy? On occasion I have nothing better at the same price & nine in the equivalent cost me a fortune (The scan ROBE 250XT not cost close to € 1500 for characteristics almost identical).
  
  After 2 Extreme & Wizard Pro 4 also purchased 400 of okaz, I continue with the 518 and do not think regretter.Vive MARTIN.

  Overall Opinion

  I use 12 518 or in the clubs I work, they are since 1999. It is highly effective. I really have no problem with them but no. Complete an interview with rgulier maintain optical trs net and you will win power. I find them a bit slow at times during changemnets gobo or color but it is the ultra efficient and never break.
  
  
  
  Thank you

  Overall Opinion

  A more complte the Roboscan Pro-218, with a prism, rotating gobo, a warm spell and everything you'd expect from a small scan professional. In a terrible reliability and high quality workmanship, this scan is rllement an exceptional product. Trs used in discothque, performance renders any fact used in the fields of entertainment, concert or cabaret. Fan-ta-stich.

  Overall Opinion

  A very complete projector s'avre effective for mobile disco or night clubs. Msd 200 lamp, there is a kit to switch msd 250 (do a search on the forum, you hit the post).
  
  
  
  Among its various functions, it offers a color corrector temprature, to multiply the number of colors by 2, 5 interchangeable rotating gobos, a 3-facet prism, a shutter ... Complete unit, can be a bit heavy (14 kilos pice) if I was given a scan this object, I'd say ... a tank assault!
