Coemar Comet MSR400

Spectacular unit from Coemar!  This is the Comet 400 (Not to be confused with the Coemar Comet 36 classic unit).  The light fixture has 2 separate components.  The main light assembly where the effect comes from and a ballast assembly.  The ballast assembly contains the 400 watt ballast, step down transformer for the electronics and power correction capacitors / filters.  The assembly has a fan for cooling, carrying handles and connection umbilical to the lamp head.  Connection is made by a 10 pin Harting connector.  The projection head features a MSR 400 SA (Short Arc) 400 watt, 54 volt lamp mounted in the center of the base.  Mounted around the lamp is a dimmer / strobe assembly.  The assembly has a dedicated stepper for movement.  Light projects from the base through 7 convex lenses where there are 7 mirrors mounted on steppers and 7 special effect mirror assemblies.  Total of 15 steppers are used for operation.  4 of the mirror assemblies have multi-colored dichoric glass pieces mounted to them and the other 3 have standard silver mirrors for a white light effect.  The large mirrors move to pre-programmed steps and provide most of the units effect.  The mirror dishes constantly rotate opposite of the dish next to it.  The unit will work in standalone mode (triggered from an onboard microphone and sound activation circuit), DMX 512 (5 Channels for operation) and 0 -10 volt analogue.  The effects is awesome and can be customized by adding dichoric filters in dedicated slots in front of the convex lenses.  Unit made in Italy.

Griven Cyclope 1200 Centerpiece Unit

Awesome centerpiece unit from Griven!!  This is the Cyclope unit which features a super bright 1200 watt discharge lamp in the center of the chassis producing a huge amount of power.  The beam projects out of 8 apertures mounted around the exterior of the unit.  Each arm has a large mirror attached to a dedicated micro motor for movement. These create a expanding and contracting type effects.  Also mounted to the center are 4 mirrored dishes and 4 large round mirrors.  The 4 large mirrors are mounted on springs creating an awesome effect when the beam hits them.  The unit also features a dichoric color wheel with 4 colors that rotates around the lamp.  The unit has a total of 19 motors for operation.  8 micro motors for the arm mirrors, 8 micro motors for the mirror effects, 1 micro motor for the color wheel and 2 for the cooling fans.  The unit has a super high velocity fan for the lamp on the base and a smaller fan on the rear for the cooling of the ballast & electronics.  Unit can be controlled by 0 - 10 volt analogue or stand alone with music trigger from an onboard microphone.  There is a sensitivity knob for microphone adjustment.  This is the larger of the 2 models produced from Griven.  The smaller unit has a 575 discharge lamp instead of the 1200 watt bulb that is on this fixture.  Unit is super heavy and built like a tank!  Manufactured in Italy. 

f.a.l. Multi-Tunnel Units PF 555

Great units from f.a.l.!  These are the Multi-Tunnel units that feature a central 220 volt, 800 watt Roundlux lamp surrounded by a large box with huge dichros on 3 of the 4 sides.  The box containing the dichros is sound active and triggered from an onboard microphone & PCB at the rear of the unit.  There is also a sensitivity knob on the rear for sound adjustment.  The output is an awesome show of constantly moving round beams of light.  This is caused from the dichros rotating.  Dichoric filters change color as they twist compared to where the light source is.  I originally thought these were Skorpion CC units but after delivery I found they were Multi-Tunnel units.  Great addition to the collection. Units made in Italy.

Lampo Corallo MKI Moonflower Unit

Another great classic moonflower from Lampo.  This is the Corallo unit that features a super bright 36 volt, 400 watt EVD lamp set in front of a huge multi-color dish.  The dish rotates to the music via the sound active PCB mounted on the rear of the unit.  It triggers the Micro Motor attached to the dish.  This unit was in very poor condition when received but we made it great again!  Originally 220 volt we converted to 110 volt.  New fan and lamp transformer were installed and the PCB transformer had the power taps adjusted for 110 voltage.  In addition a paint job was needed.  A lot of work went into this unit but well worth it to keep another classic alive!  Great unit made in Italy.
