Show Pro (NESS) Dichro Flower System

Great classic units from Show Pro!  These are the Dichro Flower flower units that feature a HTI 150 discharge bulb in front of a large white and multi-color dichoric dish.  The units produce super rich - concentrated colors due to the arc lamps.  Each unit features a highly complex control system where you can use no controller (Self Operated), dedicated 19" rack mount controller or black out controller to operate.  These units have blackout shutters that prevent you from having to turn the units on and off thus lowering the life of the lamp.  With operation with the 19" controller you have the option to control direction, speed and audio response of the dichro dishes.  Super great units made here in the US!    

Show Pro (NESS) Diva

Another great one from Show Pro (NESS)! This is the Diva unit.  Very similar to a Martin Magic Moon or AMDJ Hypermoon.  This unit when originally produced was available in 2 versions - 36 volt, 400 watt EVD (Which this unit is) or 575 watt discharge lamp.  The unit has a sound active circuit located on the underside of the unit which triggers the rotating dichoric prism on the front and the rotating mirrored dish. A sensitivity knob on the rear adjusts haw the unit reacts to the music in the room.  There are 2 caps on the rear that show where the remote controlled shutter unit would have been connected if this unit had the discharge lamp option. Unit is pretty heavy due to the large transformer and heavy gauge steel construction.  Great unit made in the US!    

Show Pro (NESS) Pulsant

Another unique unit from Show Pro!  This is the Pulsant unit that is a unique combination of a moonflower and Astroraggi style beam effect.  How it works is a stationary dichoric dish is placed in the center of the unit.  A sound active motor with a metal dish attached is placed in front of the dichoric dish.  The metal dish has a bunch of small holes cut into it.  The dish resembles the metal bowl found in Astroraggi style units.  When the dish spins it allows light to reflect off only the mirrors that are not blocked making a rain style effect.   

The light source is a high power GE HTI 150 discharge lamp producing crisp, bright and vibrant beams.  Since it is a discharge bulb it takes a bit to warm up and get to full intensity.  A shutter system is used to black out the unit since striking the lamp repeatedly kills the life of the lamp.  The unit features a dedicated wired remote control that operates the shutters. 

All of the electronics are located at the rear of the unit including the sound trigger for the motion motor; ballast, ignitor and capacitor for the lamp; PCB for the shutter plungers and dual cooling fans for the unit.

The unit is very large and quite rare.  Fixture made in the US.
