VEI / Superstar Lighting Go Bot (Single Version)

Classic 90's lighting effect unit. This is the VEI / Superstar Lighting Go-Bot lighting unit. Imported by VEI here in the US, but the unit is actually made by Superstar lighting. Unit features dual 24 volt, 250 watt ELC lamps that are fan cooled at the rear of the unit. The lamps project through a constantly rotating gobo wheel then through a set of convex lenses. Once through the lenses the light reflects off of a sound active rotating dichoric dish producing a very cool light show. There is a larger unit named the Double Go-Bot which basically puts 2 of these fixtures into a shared chassis and work from a single PCB so the beams move at the same time.  Fixture is made in Taiwan. 

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.

VEI (Superstar Lighting) Star Unit

Another Classic from VEI (Superstar).  This is the Star cosmos ball unit sold here in the US by VEI and manufactured by Superstar Lighting.  The unit features a large ball with 24 large ‘Spikes’ where concentrated beams of colored light are emitted.  The unit spins on both axis with dedicated control over both motors and lamp circuits.  The unit originally featured a discharge lamp, but was modified for a common 24 volt, 250 watt capsule lamp.  The retrofit was done before I acquired the unit so I am thinking about changing it back to the original source.  Not sure yet.  Great unit made in China.
