I have always liked the look of the original bulb version because of the smoothness of the flow and the [look] as well. LED versions can be made to flow nicely as well and draw less current and produce no heat .
Bulb's better. More gradation in the light trails compared to the LED and therefore gives the better impression of an electronic eye, whereas LED just looks like... LEDs.
The LED you can get from Hyperdyne Labs for 200.00-300.00 US Dollars, the BULB scanner is next to impossible unless someone sells one from an original Cylon which is highly unlikely. I bought the very last Pappas scanner

I'm currently building a life size new (modern) Cylon for a convention in April and this would finish it off perfectly.
Where can you buy this bulb scanner and how much does it cost?

I think the bulb based one is more menacing looking. I'm all for LED's where appropriate, but I'd have to go with the filiment version on this one.

It's cool but the led version you can make out each individual led as it goes.
Plus the bulb version has that cool fade out effect along the scan :)

The Bulb is still the best as you can see each LED from the one in the helmit.
