I've used several similar prism type effects, but not that particular one.

There's a vid here. (http://www.martin.com/product/product.asp?product=raptor)

The Martin T-REX is also a good effect from martin too, very budget effect but very effective.
Not sure if they are discontinued now.

T-Rex's are still current. They are a great effect with smoke or haze, the only thing that lets them down is they cannot be linked.

i considered both the t.rex and raptor at one point the reason i didnt go for them was after much thought i realised i was really only considering them for the martin sticker.

i have seen the t.rex and its a nice bright unit but too big and bulky for my type of show.

I had a Martin Raptor for about five years and it was a very impressive effect, covering a large area of a the dance floor.
