VEI / Superstar Lighting V-2000 Aquasplash II Unit





This is a very cool version of the common water simulator projection unit.  Inside of the unit is a common 24 volt, 250 watt ELC lamp that projects through a constantly rotating piece of perforated steel then through a piece of textured / pitted glass to make the 'rippling' water effect.  Next it goes through a convex lens to get focused then out of the unit and onto a slow moving dichoric dish.  The final produce is a slow moving - swirling shimmering effect.  Very psychedelic!  VEI also made an Aquasplash I, but it did not include the rotating dichoric dish.  Unit uses 3 motors: 1 for the rotating dichoric dish, 1 for the perforated metal rotation and 1 for the cooling fan.  Great unit made in China.
