At £40,000 a pop, im not impressed, regardless of the output, dont suppose anyone knows the scanrate? and doees it come with the software? -not that im looking to buy one but ive got to find out the £38,000 difference! I know martin are expensive for their lights but really?!

Depends, that Martin laser uses probably a 500 mW 445 nm blue laser, only this is already a few thousand euros. Most DIY lasers use 473 nm, which is cheaper (only 1,000 euros lol) or Blu-ray. Scanrate is probably very high with pre-tuned scanners, very good alignment etc.

For 1/8th of that you can get a Kvant 1W Spectrum.

Hello!
The Martin 1.6W has a 500mW 445nm blue inside. It doesn´t cost " a few thousand euros" and a 500mW 445nm is cheaper than a real 500mW 473nm. And you can´t compare the quality from the blue diode to a chinese DPSS.
Red is 642nm, green is clear. The projectors use nice own-designed green lasers, no chinese "crap".
The Scanners are CT6210 with highend amps.
Martin didn´t produce the laserprojectors by themself. The same company which produce the Martin lasers do also produce the GLP 1,2W RGB laser-movinghead.

yup, you can always tell the quality from the price

Hello!
The qulaity is really good, and the price: This is only for promotion, if you are really interested fpr that laser you get ich much cheaper... On a better priceclass than 50.000euro, I think a bit more than half of it.
But yeah, there is same quality possible for cheaper price, also not only as homebuild.

That laser is really nice.
I operated it often
for less than 26k€ u'll get the same from arcots/laserland, called amazer. It's just an other color and without that dmx-stuff.

small & nice, powerfull and very robust. robust is the point if u like to transport it often, as we do. in 2 years no dejustage until now
