Unknown Custom Double Beacon Effect Unit
A very cool unit that was custom built (unfortunately not from me). It looks like a Leestar (China) base from a older unit was used as the foundation of this unit and a couple of double par 35 beacons were attached to the rotating shaft. There are 3 powered circuits, but only 2 are utilized for the units operation. Whatever was attached originally used the additional circuit. Each beacon uses 2 X GE 4416 - 12 volt, 30 watt spot lamps that rotate in opposite directions as the units are mounted back to back. The unit rotates at around 30 RPM. Base unit made in China, beacons made in????

Tri Lite / Tripp Lite Mark XII Beacon

The big daddy is here! This is a Tri Lite / Tripp Lite Mark XII rotating beacon. Unit has 2 GE 4435 PAR 46, 12 Volt 35 watt lamps (can be upgraded to 50 or 100 watt lamps if transformer is upgraded * NOTE Dome Could Melt if Running for Long Periods of Time With Upgraded Lamps!!). The lamps rotate at about 40 - 45 RPM. I plan on placing some gels inside the dome for an extra cool effect! Very cool light! Unit made in Chicago, IL here in the US.

2 Head PAR 36 Beacon's
What classic club didn't have a set of these in it? This is a set of 3 classic 2 head light beacons. Originally used for emergency vehicles and usually called police lights, these type of fixtures made their way into clubs in the 70's and faded out in the late 80's. The newer versions of these style lights use a rotating reflector instead of rotating bulbs. This made a poor effect as far as I am concerned. The newest version uses LED's that chase around the dome for the effect. The set here was produced by North American Signal for industrial purposes, but I acquired them for visual effects! The lamps inside are 12.8 volt, 30 watt - 4416-1 bulbs. The bulbs rotate at about 30 RPM. Units are made in the U.S.
